Yea probably not since you were teasing her but good for her, they probably have her for life now

Yeah, she got a check for a little over $35,000 so that will buy quite a few scratchers before she puts a dent in that

Damn 30% tax - thanks Obama!

my sympathies. STOP GAMBLING!

Where u at studad? Need another part!

That story is total bs, and he knows it, and he doesn't know how to wrap it up.

It was fun while it lasted.

dear god can someone plkease **** their life away for real?! and write anout it?

That is such a degen justification.

Any money that is yours IS your "real life" money. Once you have it, it is yours and it makes no ****ing difference where it came from. The $20 you won from a 'fish' is no different to the $20 you got from work or found on the ground. Once you own it, it's yours and it is indistinguishable from your other money.

If you have $500 in the bank, $100 in the hand, walk into a casino with the $100 and double it playing poker and then take $100 to the strip club. You can't determine whether that was the $100 from your hand, the $100 you won or $100 from your bank. It's all the same and deciding that the $100 that you spent is the $100 that you won and not some other $100 that you own is just being crazy and coming up with stupid reasons why it's not real money and it is therefor ok to degen it away.

You sound real fun to be around.

I bet the last time you were at a poker table you got 2 sugars in you're coffee instead of one you dangerous bastard. Make sure to be careful with that caffeine I hear to much coffee keeps you up late at night.

Um... this is a degen thread so... yeah.

Well, I lost a 6 figure job, a seat on an international trading desk, and damaged an unknown number of relationships in my wake, so I've got that going for me, which is nice. From 50k+ SB scores to losing that same amount in a night on BJ, I've done it all. Now i sit here in my parents basement trying to score a delivery job. Life is funny.

I mean the basement could be finished, you have someone to do your laundry and free food.

Could be worse.

"The Color Of Money" is an awesome movie!!!

I suspect the the path from point a to point b is much more entertaining than the synopsis. Can you share some of it? It might be therapeutic.

Yeah - don't get me wrong, I'm a degen and tell myself bull**** all the time to justify a whole bunch of stupid ****. There's nothing wrong with being aware of your own BS though.

Fair enough. You did come and try and talk money management in a degen thread tho.

I'm still out here gambling, raising kids...got a little bankroll and my responsibility plate has been real full so haven't made any time for writing. I'm lurking, and fixing to write another installment of my saga soon.

I will not be able to wrap my story up til I am either dead, or have sailed off into the sunset towards a private island. Believe what you want to believe but your read is way off here. I recently made a final table of a little Wynn $400 tourney and as I walked from LVB/Flamingo down to the Wynn to mental prep and get battle ready I felt compelled to swing by the Casino Royale and pay homage to the stall area I slumbered in that memorable night. The feeling was oddly electric; how the world turns....

p.s. beepbeep, write it out and share it, your story that is.
p.p.s. Davino, the one where you were spitting venom at your ex-gf, you mean there is more than 1?!

Stay safe out there ya'll!

yes, more than 1 ex, link???

Last night I was looking for deals on oil changes on Groupon. I get to the place as soon as they open at 730 and they tell me there's a few cars ahead of me so it's going to be an hour. I'm like ok cool, this bar up the street might have breakfast. I see the machine has 5 cent Ultimate X. So feeling like a low level Leon, I punt $300 into this machine in about 15-20 minutes. Just in time for my breakfast platter to be ready. I had a shot of scotch and walked back over to the oil change place, smoking half of a joint I had in my pocket.

I've been awake 3 hours today and it's already getting expensive. All because I wanted to save $10 on an oil change.

Still got it.

Fun post

I genuinely lol'd at this. Reminds me of when I almost punted $300 at BJ at the Bellagio for 2 "free" beers. Got down to my last quarter and just kept pressing my winnings until over $300 and the beers arrived.

Duuuuuude....I went to a strip club last night and forgot how awesome they are. mmmmm I can still smell that perfume. Thanks goodness I live two hours away from that place cuz I was craving round 2 hard this morning.

Not really degen, at least not yet. Talk to me in a month or two and I'll either be sucking dick under a bridge for heroin or be an online poker pro paying for my heroin legitimately.

Got laid off from my cushy job working at home doing about an hour of work a day for $80k/yr as a 1099 employee earlier this year. Then a couple months ago I got a job working for a ****ty company cold-calling mechanics trying to sell them crappy software for $14/hr. Got fired after a few weeks after being late a couple times and then not showing up one day due to my heroin habit. Asked my parents (I'm 30) for help with rent last month just this one time so that I could get back on my feet once I get my first paycheck. Told them I've been sending out a ton of resumes and that I've had a bunch of interviews, when in reality I've only sent out like 2 resumes and had one phone interview but nothing after that.

My plan is to go back to grinding $100NL for a living. I put myself through college in my early 20's and was ballin' (relatively speaking, like $4-$5k/mo) for about 5 years before Black Friday, so I'm confident I can do it again. I'm slightly worried that I won't be able to replicate this again because earlier this year I deposited $1k, went on monkey tilt after a few beats and started betting $100 a hand on blackjack on Bovada. Busto. Did it again a couple months ago. Busto. Now I've deposited a third (and final since my credit cards are maxed) $1000 on Ignition and requested to be banned from casino games. Down to $840 and I have 30 days to make $800 for rent. The good news is that I refill my adderall prescription tomorrow so I'll be able to grind 16 hours a day tweaking my balls off, so volume won't be a problem.

Go big or go home imo.
