iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2005 OK, I have to admit, I could give a fuck less whether this stupid subject has it's own thread. However, I have a comment I want to make and I really didn't want to create a thread just to make it. Anyway, I got drunk tonight, and I decided to play some online poker. My total net worth going into the night was about $3000, yet somehow I lost $150 in a NL 400 game on PartyPoker and decided I should start playing a NL 600 game at the same time. Anyway, between the two, I lost a little over $800, so I only had about $240 left in my PartyPoker account with $200 left on the table. Anyway, after that I started sobering up a little bit; I ran the $200 up to about $1350, and not only did I win the money back I lost, I won another $400 as well. Fuck yeah for online gambling. The moral? Well, I forgot. I had a good one a minute ago. Anyway, drinking + gambling = fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2005 OK, I'm a failure that can't read. Please close this. Actually, to be fair, neither thread was on the front page. You really can't expect me to go spelunking through the archives when I'm drunk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2005 Well, I live on the West Coast so it wasn't that late that night. Anyway, I wasn't drinking at all tonight, but I went through an even bigger swing going from down $1000 to up $800. In the process, I won both my biggest bluff ever (an $800 pot, about $300 of which was profit), and my biggest pot overall ever, (a $1700 pot, which me and another guy both put over $800 into). Anyway, overall, I'm up about $3000 the last week, and at this point, I really can't imagine ever getting another real job. It's the American dream to get something for nothing, and gambling just seems like the best possible way to do it. Granted, if I'm going to make a living off of this, I've got to stop playing over my head and having "swings" that amount to about 1/3 of the money I own, but it seems like winning just gets a little bit easier every month. I mean really, what's more worthwhile? Working hard for another two years of school so I can get some shit astrophysics job where I make $25 an hour, or playing poker and doing a little bit of reading so I can make over $100 an hour playing a fucking card game. I'd have to go with option B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
