If you are going to have a degen slip, then it's best to degen with some friends at the same table.

Otherwise, you will spiral into the endless blackhole of degen-ness...

Think of the pitgames like the strip club. Ever go to a strip club and see that one guy by himself... don't you feel sorry for that guy....

same thing with degens and pit games... Don't be the lone guy at that pit game, make sure you are with friends....

+1

that is pretty broken down, lol!

That's why I lost 4.3K on liverpool v crystal palace.

What do you mean I can't bet drugs? Isn't this a mob casino?

Based on my 16 hours of dealing experience, can confirm. Dealing to a table with a couple groups or single group of friends is way more enjoyable than dealing to a bunch of loner half drunk degens giving me **** about how much they're dumping into my tray

By the way if any of you are the type of degens that berate the dealer when you're losing, please kindly shoot yourself in the head

You gotta blame it on someone other than yourself lol

OMG I almost died reading this.

My fist and a designated closet doors take most of my bad beats.

Ahh King Niche, the king of degens. Keep grind on the mind buddy.

Almost forgot about this gem, good man!

I've played poker for many years and never really donked money off in the pit until I got to Macau... I had about $2k with me, for the sake of clarity I'll just use $ values instead of HKD..

Buddy and I get to Macau around noon and proceed to try and find a poker table running. After missing everything in 4 different casinos we finally find a game of $1-3~ running. It's pretty uneventful and the poker room is basically right in the middle of the pit, loud, distracting etc. After losing $100 or so we both say screw it and leave to go play other crap.

I try to play pai gow with dominoes but they have no instructions in English. I ask pit for info on the game and he tells me to "**** off", direct translation. Screw this local casino, let's go to an international one.

We end up at the Wynn. We both swore to never gamble there ever again after getting murdered on 3 separate trips there in Vegas but whatever, there is a 2/5~ game running. I bust $400~ after missing OESD+FD against one pair and decide to play something else. Hello Caribbean Stud! At this point I'm a bit drunk, and pretty pissed I'm already down $700~ from 1/3, 2/5 and roulette earlier. It's a $25 min table but being a bit drunk my conversions were off and I think it's lower limits. By the time my buddy drags me off I'm down another 400~.

At this point I say screw gambling and head to Galaxy Lounge to get trashed. We play vodka roulette and my buddy ends up playing sic bo, going on a heater and winning $1k~. I jump in and bet what he's betting, 4 rolls later, -$200 more, I butcher his run good.

I got about $700 left at this point and I am drunk and pissed off. I see Caribbean Stud and jump in, determined to get my damn money back. Every time I get a pair/better dealer does not qualify, and when she does, she kills me, and I'm now down to $200 better $25/50. Open up 10, J, Q, K all hearts, look at progressive and it's $2m~, thinking "COME ON ACE YOU BITCH"!!! open another red 10. ****, whatever, bet. Dealer has two pair. At this point I got enough left for 1 hand, and my buddy tells me to save it. I tell him to **** off, he's ruining the vibe. I get a flush and pray the dealer qualifies for once. Nope, she has 10 high. Bet again, bust pair into her trips.

At this point I decide enough is enough, I'm not gambling anymore. I am dead broke and I still have 3 days in Taiwan and another few in HK left on this trip, and I need whatever room is left on my visa for it. I walk to the bar and get distracted by the ATM on my way. Try to take $600, but can't. $500 works though, and I'm back at Caribbean Stud. 10 minutes later and I got $100 left. I walk away and throw the $100 on red in video roulette. Black. I go and try to get another $100 out of visa, manage only $80. Throw the $80 on sic bo, miss everything.

The rest of the night is a blank. I woke up on the floor of my hotel room busto.

Called the bank the next day and asked to transfer whatever I had in another account to my main, took that out to pay for hotel/flight to Taiwan and had <$100 for another week in Taiwain/HK. GG.

lmao!

Most degen part of this whole story is you went on a trip to Macau to play poker and gamble with less than 2G.

Pretty sure he did not take a trip to Taiwan and Hong Kong just to gamble. He just ended up gambling while he was there.

He took the trip to have the sex with the ladyboys

I don't have poker or table game stories because for some reason I have a good "stop" button in my brain when it comes to HoldEm, Blackjack, and Pai Gow. When I'm getting rolled, I stop in the hundreds, not thousands.

But sports betting, totally different story.

I wait until August 2013 to put $1000 in my online acct; I have to go to the smelly Middle Eastern alcoholic "Market" in Oakland, CA and deposit via MoneyGram, the whole transaction is depressing. The proprietor talks on his cell in some weird language, won't even look up at me, he's on his computer depositing the money. Meanwhile, normal-looking upper middle class white guys keep streaming in buying their cheap 1/2 pints of rotgut Vodka. And crackheads are coming in with stolen iphones and Achmaad is giving those guys cash right outta the register. WTF ? Then I get a transaction number, go back to my office and call Vinny at BetUS, he sounds like he's a street corner bookie in Philly, but he's allegedly in some Country like Antigua, where this sort of thing is legal. RIIGHHHHT.

The deal with online sportsbook is, free $500 bonus and 1 free $500 sports bet. I bet the 1st USC football game and WIN. So now I got $2000 in my acct eventhough the xtra $1k you have to rollover 12 times blah blah blah.

There's another little leak in my online deal, which is the casino. I say "I'm only going to play $100", the formula is the same every time, I get up a little bit, then they lower the boom. I have 20, "dealer" has 15, hits a 6. Move to Pai Gow, I get a jack high. I even called them and asked them to freeze me out of the casino, they say "no can do". The other leak is NBA basketball. I CANNOT bet NBA, it's impossible, and if you do it a couple times, you would swear that it's fixed, even worse than football.

I proceed to grind out a winning football season. Down as low as $400, up as high as $3800. I roll into the Super Bowl agonizing over the big game. I ultimately decide to roll with the Seahawks defense. I'm a Raider fan and I hate the Denver ****ing Broncos with a white hot heat. So I figure I'd rather lose going against the Donkies. I go all-in $2,100 on SEA +3.5. BOOM. Winner Winner.

Now is the moment of truth. I need to call them and cash out ( which BTW is a total hassle, you have to apply for a International Visa card and they put $$$ on it.

But NO, I keep the money in there and Martingale my team, the Golden State Warriors, and within 5 games I'm busto.

Let's cut it short there, this story is a whole lie because you still would've of won. 10/10 for effort though.

"i started climbing the trees and just trying to get back to nature"

I have used this IRL a dozen or so times to convey 'extreme duress' but unfortunately, no one has ever recognized the reference.

No he lost. He had aces full of kings after the flop. The other player had QQ to make Aces full of queens. Turn Q, river Q giving the villian quads. So when can we get together to play

just find him @ his location

Well, this isnt really a true degen story that would probably qualify, but since i feel like a degen for doing this and need to get this off me, and even would appreciate some feedback and advice, ill post.

(pls read till end so you can get a clear picture, not just first few disgusting sentences)

So long story short, i was staked to play some online cash, and i basically scammed my backer. I owe around $500 (i already payed $500 back while being under staking)

this was like 9 months ago, when i went on a insane life downswing.

kicked out of uni, lost my job, stopped talking to my parents, troubles with a GF ive been with for 6 years, friend of mine whom i loaned $1000 just disappearing, went on a huge downswing playing online poker, started drinking heavily, considered jumping under a train or smthg several times, so i was pretty much totally screwed, broke, and hit the total bottom.
only money i had was like my last $500 in online poker account (which was kinda my backer's cause i already cashed out my 50% of winnings - deal i was under).

So me, biggest idiot ever, obv, cashed out the money cause i didnt have a single cent.
Cashed out money, stopped talking to my staker, deleted some profiles, etc. I know he tried to contact me severeal times, but i didnt read messages/didnt respond.

I regreted this every single ***** day ever since, i cant bare the thought i stole from somebody, its just driving me crazy day after day after day, i feel like my head is gonna explode, its constantly killing my mind, i have troubles sleeping, and im still drinking.

Life is a better now, im occasionaly taking some low paying weekly gig at the supermarket or somthing, trying find a steady job, grinding again (just micros cause i have to cash out pretty much everything i make), but its better than it was.

my average net worth is somewhere around $500-1K (lol). So i considered contacting this guy and pay him back (full or in a few installments) but im afraid to even talk to him on the internet (we dont know each other in RL), and he might as well already sued me or something. I fear one day cops come knocking on my door and going to jail for fraud.

I never stole from anybody, im not a bad person, but f.kin real life troubles made me scam this guy and i live with this ever brain-abusing thing about being arrested and constantly feeling like a thief (cause i am) ever since not knowing what to do feeling like a total idiot.


Never told anybody about this, obviously dont expect you to feel bad for me, cause i stole from someone and i am fully awere of that, just glad i got it off my chest.

He probably told the police about this thread in case you popped up.

yeah i guess ill just contact him and pay up anyways

IamAMoron: EAD for stealing!
