Well played sir.

Yeah I can't imagine anyone topping this

Actually, I bet on them twice. I was offered like 15:1 odds on them beating the Titans on Thanskgiving and figured hey, there was always a chance DanO just throws it to Calvin Johnson over and over and he dominates the game somehow. So I threw up ~$132 on them (whatever it was to bank $2k if I won). Looking at it now there the only way Detroit could win that game is if Tennessee somehow got disqualified, and they lost 47-10. That made me sour but when I was offered a line of +17 on the Lions against the Colts I thought "hey, they're not THAT bad" and put a hundred on them, and when they only lost by 10 I doubled up. Then the Saints game came up and I just knew the Saints would destroy the Lions' crappy defense. The line was -14 on the Saints but it should have been like -30. I put my entire Players Only roll on it and the Saints win by 37, booyah. Then put all my winnings on the Panthers (-10) to beat the Cardinals in the playoffs - I really wanted the Cards to win, but I just couldn't see anyway it could happen, until Delhomme tossed 5 interceptions and I tossed cookies all over the carpet. Was a nice ride...

ROFL

yesterday i played at a home game even though the daughter of the host has swine flu, just because i was stuck for the day

lol, nh

steal human food next time imo.

All right, well I may be a "tru non-degen" but I've definitely had several "tru non-degen" moments that lost me my bankroll.

i sm so poor im eating no name mr noodles

maybe the name is Mr. Noodles IMO

Probably not the right thread for this but whatever. I lost my job today. a ****ty retail one so i don't feel that bad about it but a little bit bad because i have bills and such. Threw my soda all over the manager though, made me feel a little better. Anyway i'm wondering how realistic it is to make $1k a month, which is all i need until august (or i find another job). I've been able to make about $400 a month playing Double or Nothing SNG's about 20 hours a week, but is this something i can rely on? If i have a lot of time, what is the easiest, least variance route? I'm not looking for the big score, just enough to get by. Thanks for your help everyone.

big big lol @ asking for life-advice in this thread

I was 10 tablin the 6 dollar sng's with a 100 dollar BR and got it up to 1k in a month, there is variance, but those games are soft enough to where you can do it. If you are on stars, you can use the points you earn to play the 750k sat where you'll win 11 dollars. I actually pulled everything out of my account and grinded until i turned 1k points into about 1k dollars, took me about a month part time. I have a friend that has done a similar feat with points 3 times. If you are going to play the double or nothing's, you better get good at multi tabling them hardcore to raise up a grand, I can imagine its high variance as well but I've never played them.

I approve of this degening. A+

I just degened my bankroll. Kept moving up a step in the HU tournies because I couldn't win with the best hand. Finally busted the rest almost all of my roll with 99 vs 66. Started out losing $5 with AA vs A8 all in pre-flop. Kept climbing until I lost $800ish, then took the rest to a cash hu table and busted the rest first hand. Does that qualify enough for degen? Lol, trying to get back $5 and losing $800?
**** it

Yes, that qualifies as degen.

Yes! finally I qualify as degen instead of whatever I was called earlier lol.
Now most of my FPP's are gone too. I'm down to my last tournament and I'll only have 26FPP's. ****ing ayyy... I've got a lot of rebuilding work to do, and perhaps I should follow bankroll management 100% of the time, instead of 80% or so. **** it, **** it, **** it. I'm out of a job soon too since I'm graduating, and I'll have no source of income until I can actually find a job in this crazy economy. I've gotta build a roll again.


*22 fpp's... woops.

And I lose against an idiot in my last tournament too. Q10 suited is always > KK Lol... I love poker! I'm going to go crazy. I.e., finished playing until May20th or so I think. Not sure how I'll make money or get money to start again, but whatever. I really don't want to have to throw $650 down on black and listen to Enya while I plead for a double up.

Ya I was surprised too

Beat on the Pats this season and u'll be fine, no way they can lose with Brady

This is my degen story from 2004: I was/am a winning player but had busto'd my tanks. A friend was letting me use his party account to rebuild a roll, playing mostly 5/10 and 10/20 limit. One night I came home riotously drunk and decided to play poker, so I fired up party poker and sat a table of 2k plo (i'd never played plo online before and had never played those limits before). I made a couple of ridiculous stack-offs to get up to 8k, before busting that and the other 14k in the tank.

Happy ending: I never played drunk again, and believe I probably lost less in one big hit than I would have continually playing drunk.

how the **** is this degen..
like seriously read the title before u post

he was answering this dude's post

I got everyone beat, I have 3 poker accounts and they are each bigger than my bank account with no plans of withdrawing any of it.

People ask me why I choose to live broke when I always have so much on all my tables. My answer:

GO BIG OR GO HOME

Lol yeah I remember when I had nothing in the bank, was living off like $10 a day runs to 7-11, and was playing 25nl and 50nl but for some reason had 8500 in my poker account....withdrawing is painful, because then you look at your smaller account and feel like you've had a big losing sesssion.

[ ] makes sense

what do you mean it doens't make sense? doesn't everyone like to look at their br and feel like they just had a huge losing session?
