Dude, are you serious?! This is the type of stuff that makes me question your authenticity. There's no alternate universe in which you're clueless enough to not realize that the only reason your blog has been popular is that you're the biggest trainwreck this forum has ever seen, and there's no close second. There's nothing to be proud of here and I just don't want to believe you can't grasp this. Have you honestly stooped so low in life that your ego has grabbed the numbers this trainwreck of a thread has pulled as a sign of you achieving something meaningful? You need to drop everything you're doing and receive psychological help, this is getting beyond ridiculous now.

Paisting you are becoming irrelevant, please start streaming your sessions on Twitch so people will care again. I'm sure people here will help with any issues you run into.

This.

Hi Paisting, please do your best to day. Do not let the bad beats (or the trolls) get you down. You can achieve your goals!

So now we know the real reason why you lose at -200bb/100. You've just admitted it - it's for attention. You love the attention it gives you. You don't want to become a winning player because that would mean the attention you desperately crave disappears.

Very little trolls to speak of as of late. General consensus seems to be that this is just sad and that he needs to stop.

How much money has this blog brought you?

Also this thread is the 16th most viewed 'blog' on the forum.

Not the top 10, not the top 15.

He even lies about this.

This should be more of a brag than if it actually was top 10.

Psychotic disorders are severe mental disorders that cause abnormal thinking and perceptions. People with psychoses lose touch with reality.

Oh man want some advice? From a old reg. I have had my share of losing.

You ain't no Tuff_Tish, imposter! You wanna tussle with the muscle, kid?! I'll **** you to goddayum tears, mother****er.

Hey Paisting, do you have Leak Finder for Poker Tracker? If not, do you play around with the My Reports section? It would be interesting to see your winrates based on position.

HAHAHAHA, that get the blood pressure up?

Here's the thing right. After a certain point of loss, at least in my country, after a pretty small point of loss ($1000ish), they require bank statements, income records etc that prove that you actually have the money to afford the money you're punting.

It sticks to reason that Paisting would have had to have passed these checks, right? It would stand to reason that Paisting has passed these, proving he has the funds to do this. This would also contradict the idea that Paisting punts his unemployment check every month.

That or, the site he's on are predatory

Why wouldn't an unemployment check be proof he has the money to do this?

At $1000? Jesus, what idiotic country has that? Fortunately most countries don't helicopter parent their citizens like that.

I could see a reason to have it at like $100k, but $1000 is literally nothing.

The site makes money off people gambling, how is it not going to be predatory? For most of these sites, what they're really aiming for is to get you addicted to gambling until all your money is gone. They don't give a **** whether you then go on to commit suicide or not (which will happen to some people). They'll do whatever they legally can to achieve that. That's literally their business model.

It's lower (the 1-2k limit)for students like myself, I assume the boundary is higher for working adults, but wouldn't be degrees of magnitude.

If his bank statement every week read like

• 120$ from unemployment
• $15 at supermarket
• $105 at 888Casino Inc

Safer gambling laws would kick in and I don't expect they'd be able to continue to offer him service. I don't think the story is consistent, that Paisting eats only one meal a day to have more free income, yet passes all safer gambling checks.

I think his provider has vetted him, and decided that they can continue letting him play because he can afford it. How could he do this for nigh on a decade without going through that system, and without the money to do so.

He plays on 888 and ACR intentionally because those sites could care less about responsible gambling.

The story about not wanting to play on Stars because the games are "tough" is nonsense. The real reason is any respectable site would ban him from playing there.

If they could care less then that means they do care?

Safer gambling laws won't do **** to stop him. Poker sites won't restrict him unless they are forced to. If you're hoping government will step in and stop him, you'll be waiting a very long time, maybe forever.

LOL at Stars caring. You're joking right?

The games on Stars are generally tougher. My winrate is certainly lower there over big samples compared to softer sites.

PokerStars has a sportsbook and an online casino that they're glad to get you addicted to. Lots of their rakeback prizes are for both in the hopes that you place a few bets and start losing your money faster rather than at poker.

Why are you assuming these checks are in place at all in Paisting's country? Have you checked? It's not a normal and acceptable thing, just your governments' **** regulations. Not that mine are better in the US, just bad for different reasons.
