He said he lost $1800 at Westgate and the rest of the $15000 at Bellagio.

I'm getting a 20k bonus for work in late August. My wife would roast me if I lost all of it playing craps and at Trooper Thursday. Hell, I'd roast myself if I spent more than 10% of it on any gambling related venture.

Nice, humble brag

You do realize he’s live betting baseball on his phone and that there’s also a quite large sportsbook at the Westgate. My question is did he lose the $1800 entirely in the poker game or a combination of poker and baseball bets while in the game?

Yes your reading comprehension does suck.

Losing 1800 in a soft 1/2 game would be pretty impressive.

Most likely what he did was bet the over in a baseball game, then doubled down on it in live betting after the fourth inning, then quadrupled down on it after the seventh inning and lost all three bets, then went over to Bellagio and lost the remainder of his roll playing craps.

I lost $300 at Trooper Thursday mainly because I hate playing NLH cash games at this point. I would consider myself a PLO and PLO8 cash player at this point that also plays NLH tournaments. After TT was when all the losses started

I have $25000 in money orders or cashiers checks since the bank I cashed my settlement check at would only give me $20000 in cash. So I’m going to go home with about $5000 cash and the money orders. Putting $15000 in savings and having a friend bet my sports picks on Bovada for me with the other $15000.

I know I can make money sportsbetting. I know I can make money at poker. But those damn craps and BJ tables just happen to be in the same locations I have to go to sports bet or play poker. I need to hire an entourage that’s sole purpose is to be with me and make sure I only play poker and bet sports. If I go anywhere near a BJ or craps table they tase me. I think it would actually be a very good investment. From a financial standpoint this trip doesn’t hurt the way others did even though I just flushed 3 flags at craps. It hurts because I had a vision of making income at sports betting and poker and I proved on this trip that I cracked instead of staying strong and playing what I said I’d play. That’s what hurts the most. Time to grind, which isn’t my specialty, and make this money up either at the local poker room or on Bovada. Side note, the 2.5/5 plo on Bovada is bonkers in the best way possible

Who would have thought a weekend of weed, booze, and sex that cost $4500 would have actually saved me $10000 plus

I volunteer to be the one who tazes you and you wouldn't even have to pay me. I have always wanted to see someone tazed live and I bet I would have to do it several times a day.

No, your question was did he lose $1500 at Westgate. This after he mentioned the amount was $1800.

This thread, whilst initially filled with the promise of entertainment and intrigue, has turned into a typical 2+2 pit of depression. I think someone should start a new thread on personal and financial responsibility. That would be different . . .

lol

Doc T,

Just read better bro and move on

Imagine being this dumb

Out of curiosity, what do you do for a living OP?

Ha!

Doc I’m sure you’re a nice guy, but yeah your reading comprehension isn’t the best.

I mistyped the dollar amount but it was to clarify the amount he lost wasn’t solely from poker and you know that and you where wrong. That is unless you’re reading comprehension is even worst than we thought.

Yeah would’ve of been quite the feat. OP does seem like a solid PLO player but maybe in a low stakes $1/$2 game he might of donked off $1800 to a bunch of guys out to get the guy trolling Trooper it happen. That being said was 90% sure he lost the bulk at the book and wanted to hear details.

I already said I lost all of it but the $300 I lost at TT at craps. Book went fine yesterday and all trip

If you didn't lose it yesterday you would have just lost it next week

Home sweet home. Shouldn’t take too long to grind $1000 into $15000 at 1/2 PLO online

gambling addiction, paying $4500 for sex, and putting the mac dock on the bottom?

seek therapy

Are you sure?

If I took $20k and turned it into $100k my wife would be thrilled! Not sure why yours would see it differently.

I think this exchange summarizes the communication problems in the world today.

Who wouldn't love an extra 80k, but what do you have to risk to get it? How many times would you go bust with the 20k for every time you win 80k?

I'm a married father of two, so the money distribution will be boring:
~70% in investments, 529 plans, retirement
~15% for stuff for the house since we just moved
~15% for fun

edit: Even as a single guy I probably wouldn't allot more than 25-30% of that money for poker

Lol I saw that doc before too, it was this one right?:

Haha a some friends and I went to TJ a few years back, while walking back into the US, the customs officer asked if we went to Hong Kong Club, we said no, and he was like "you guys went to TJ and didn't go to Hong Kong Club?! What's wrong with you guys!".
