Built 500 into 1500 playing 1/2 home games, take 1500 to casinos/dog tracks near parents home ~8hr drive away (closest 24hr live action).

insert several hours of mild swings in between each win/loss-

lose 500 shoving QQ into a made straight on the turn (I swear I thought I could get two pair and sets to fold)
lose another 500 in 3 hands at 2/5NL (KK vs AT, K6 in BB flopped top 2 vs limped KK, TT vs AQ flop QQT turn blank river A)
lose 300 moving down to 1/2 value-owning self as advanced stages of FPS set in

take last 200 to dollar slots
grind/smoke cigarettes/make half-assed conversation with cocktail waitresses ("Oh, so you're putting yourself through college?" -- so you can end up unemployed looking for a job that pays less than the one you have now) for an hour
hit mini-progressive for 1.4k
torch $400 chasing big progressive (96k)
go back to 2/5

lose $500 limp/folding and call/folding to c-bet while completely card dead
quadruple up after turning the nuts a couple times in big mw pots
still manage to lose entire $2000 stack after taking a few coolers and tilting hard

Was down 600 from poker cooler. Walked upstairs to craps to find my pappy playing craps. Didn't want to play craps so I played blackjack and lost 300 within <2 shoes (Bought in 100 each time). Walked over to craps to pappy and bought in for 200. Sat for maybe 4 rolls and probably broke even. Then placed a fire bet and watcheda guy roll for 40 minutes and hit 5 numbers.....250:1 at my $5 bet. I have maybe made 5 fire bets in my life because i know they are stupid. Thsi time was epic. ended up leaving the table w $1945. Came back to room and drank bourbon w pappy. Left w pappy and lost $200 at bj/craps. Back at room and ordered BLT&fries. Rubbing bacon on titties.

I moved my roll to Full Tilt from Poker Stars because the players were softer so I could win more money. I knew Fulltilt hasn't paid American players but I could make more money at Full Tilt Poker because the players are not that good.

The main reason is that I play bad, lose, tilt, then take a big shot 'cause "I'm drunk and I don't give a fcuk!" Anyways, after building my roll from $5.91 that was left on my Full Tilt account after a previous drunken mishap to over 2k, I again drunkenly managed to lose it all in a night.

Anyways, at this point in time, I'm realizing I have a real problem with alcohol; not just when playing poker. I've got this friend, his name is Merlin. He's just insane (I mean his name is Merlin, obviously he's gonna be ******ed). But he is a boy GENIUS, and can make anything. Like literally he's going to be making 500K a year as the top of a software company when he's graduated UNI. So I ask him if there's any possible way he can rig a breathalyzer to my computer. He thinks the idea is hilarious, but is willing to try because it coincides well with an assignment he has at UNI. I offer to give him $1 000 as well if it works. So he ends up rigging this breathalyzer up so my computer, and installs a program so that I can set it to any program. He changes the amount from 0.08 to 0.10 (which is about my threshold for playing bad), and makes it only appliable to my Pokerstars and Full Tilt accounts (cause who doesn't want to be able to log onto their computer to jerk off to Ashlynn Brooke when they're wasted?).

So the installation gets him an A in the class and makes me stop losing money. Until this: I realize he made it so that the logins restart every time you restart the program (I.E. if you close Pokerstars, when you log in again you have to do another breathalyzer.)

So one Saturday, I start getting fed up to **** with this thing 'cause I just wanna get drunk and play poker. So I remember that you only have to breathalyze once per log-in, and I log in at like 6pm, then run to the store and grab a 12pack and start drinking. Anyways, I get really deep in a 100k guaranteed on stars and end up final tabling. But I am ****ing TANKED at this point, it's been hours. Nobody's been eliminated yet, I'm in 4th chip position. Break time, I go take a leak, grab some water. I come back, and I'm so plastered that I end up tripping over the power bar and ripping the entire thing out of the wall. Computer turns off and I freak out "**** **** **** RELOAD RELOAD BEFORE BREAK". I turn on my computer, then I try to sign on to Pokerstars and it asks me to breathalyze into the rig attached to the side of the computer. I completely forgot about this at this point and I'm thinking "FUUUUUCK MY LIFE WTF DO I DO?!?" 'cause I can't log in.

I live by myself, so I can't just ask somebody to come breathalyze for me, so I run to the neighbours drunken at 1AM and knock on the door really loud. He comes and is like 'WTF DO YOU WANT? IT's 1 AM!!" and I try to drunkenly explain my situation to him. Basically I end up saying "come blow this thing for me, and I'll ship u a G." He punches me in the face.

I come to a few minutes later, remember what was going on, and run to my other neighbour's house. I choose my words more carefully this time, and end up getting him to come over and do the breathalyzer for me. Turns out he's ****ing wasted too. Couldn't he have told me that? What a dumb ****. Final hope is my neighbour down the street, so I run there and explain my situation. She comes over, and I end up getting on to Pokerstars. I have 2BB left and nobody has busted out. I get QQ and get busted for my 2BB and end up cashing for like 2G's, 1 of which I owe to my neighbour now. I cry because I should've won this tournament.

Then I wake up and it was all a dream! :O what a plot twist!!!

This **** made me cry with laughter!

Somebody make a film about this?!

Spent the last couple months grinding up bankroll from 0 to 700. Went on an insane heater to 3.2k in a day. Lost it all in the next week. Now having to start from scratch again.

Poor bankroll managment, over confidence, not thinking clearly and a bit of tilt on the way down. FML. 2 Months wasted...

Did the same thing when I hit 500 the first time as well. This time though I did a withdrawl at 2k and then hit it to 3.2k again and lost it.

turned 500 into 12k in two weeks of hardcore grinding on bodog. Was doing well at 5-10nl. Got bored today, opened up 4 limit tables with 1 30-60 hu table. 6k evaporated within minutes and about a hundred hours of hard work down the drain...
