Well played, couldn't have done the same

Yes that is different. First of all the whale can afford to lose the money

lolz yes. Presumably they have the money to pay back later but it's not on them.

Whales are rich

Not man children destroying their lives

So why don't you do that instead of delivering pizza?

6bet isn't a normie. He doesn't go to make pennies per hour. He's a man who makes bank at $2/$5. He's above fast food and pizza.

6,

Surprisingly self-aware post re: your spending habits when you feel flush. That’s probably the best reason for paying back the loan when you did. If you had 22k in your hands now instead of 2k, who knows how much you might spend over the holidays.

I asked recently if you’d just abandoned the poker pro idea. If you haven’t abandoned it, why aren’t you at least grinding out a bunch of low stakes online poker and studying/working on improving your game?

These are things gambling addicts do because they feel they have no self-control. All it takes is one **** up.

This is very grown up of you to admit but you seem to use this an excuse to justify rather than realising it's a fault and working on it.

I did lol at how sad that is.

Don't assume all whales are as rich as they appear.

A PLO reg whale at my local casino played pretty much everyday for 4 years. He was losing but everyone assumed he had unlimited money as he was always well dressed, in good spirits and wearing expensive watches.

He ended up killing himself once he lost everything.

Yes , because they just hand manager jobs out to any random person off the street with no experience.

You mention you have a brother, what does he do for work, and why can't you ask him for an interest free loan?

You think you can walk into a managerial position with no experience? Good luck with that.

You know you’re in upside down land when kelvis is posting solid life advice

Then why don’t you? Answer: you’re not even remotely qualified.

I’d get a second opinion. Dr. Nick (Simpsons) is not a real doctor.

Yeah it is, as others have noted.

But you do seem to be perfectly content to ride the razors edge between being able to pay your bills and not every month. The sun running you did was the worst thing ever to happen to you. You’ll realize that someday.

If you had a vlog, you’d be the Aussie Trooper.

Dude, that's ****ed up

Not sure what labor laws are in kangaroo land but I assure you fast food managers are not working 40 hr weeks in America#1.

It is also more difficult then people think to get such a position.

r.i.p this thread.

going to miss;
-the squeezes with 34cc
-3b UTG shortstack with Ace rag double suited
-overbetting just coz

I miss when the 6 poker thread was about 6 poker and not whether or not 6 could be a fast food restaurant manager.

Pro tip: he could not get that job, and if he could, he would be fired in under 8 weeks. Like Henry Rollins said a thousand years ago, (paraphrasing) the Burger King managers might not necessarily be geniuses, but those people are tough as nails.

6 is not pulling 12 hour shifts at Taco Bell.

KFC tho?

So lets see if i got this right, according to OP he is a crusher at live 1/3 and 2/5, but he wont play anymore cause he is afraid to go broke before Christmas?

LMAO, this is a freaking epic comedyshow.

If OP was slowly realising that poker isn't for him (because it's a life that sucks for most) and just decided to become a slightly winning recreational player and start thinking about what he wants to do professionally with his life I'd be so glad for him.

Sadly I expect new year goals to be grinding the nosebleeds (5/10) and making 200k online.

Ever heard of variance?

I know that I'm a winning player at 2/5 NL, but at the same time, I'm subject to variance when playing with a 2k bankroll.

Winning players can easily go broke if they're underrolled.

No, ive played several thousand hours of livepoker over the last 8 years or so- but i have noe clue what variance is.

If you really are such a crusher (as you say you KNOW you are)- how come you havent grinded up a bankroll for yourself then like other good winning players normally do? How come you needed to take a big loan with huge interest in order to keep yourself in action at the tables?

Matter of fact is that you are vastly overestimating your own skills. All i hear is excuses over and over again regarding why you dont put in massive volume, why you havent build up a roll for yourself and so forth. Empty words/excuses.

You are simply not connected to reality, but continue to live in your own fantasyworld.

OP,

Imagine if you actually had good spending habits.

Imagine if you didn't go up to Sydney and get drunk while spewing off stacks.

Imagine if you didn't buy a PIO license and use it twice. Or waste money on stuff unnecessarily.

Imagine if you actually dedicated time to studying and playing like a proper pro.

If you did any one, yet alone all of these things you would be in much better financial position right now.

I really wish the best for you mate but you've done almost everything in your power to fail. Why don't you actually listen to the advice people in this thread give. They have so much more knowledge than you do about your situation yet you continually ignore them.

I don't think you want to "succeed" or be a "poker pro". You just want all the benefits that come with those titles: freedom, enjoyable lifestyle, not having to "work", doing something you enjoy among other things. You want to get there the easy way and you are too naive and delusional admit it.

At the moment you carry no traits that a successful poker player has. You have no discipline, work ethic, dedication because all you want is the easy way and anyone who teachers poker will tell you that these are the characteristics that makes one destined to fail.

I'm not saying you can't do it, but if you don't develop as a person or change many aspects of you lifestyle in and out of poker, you likely won't ever exit this constant cycle of going busto, being slightly less busto, almost busto and then back to busto again.

This is what I was getting at with the Sydney trip not actually being free. Yes, the trip cost was covered by his playing and he broke even but wouldn't it have behooved him to stay home and grind the same hours? He'd have 1-2k extra in his roll.


Also lol at not knowing specifically where 7k went the other month when you have a net worth of 2-3k.

6,

Do you think highly successful people misplace large amounts of money (relative to their net worth)? Imagine if you had half that money, 5.5k sounds a lot better than 2k and your not scared money.

Winnings players aren't scared of variance, regardless of roll. Sack up and play daytime 1/2 or 1/3.

Exactly why paying back your loan to ensure you could only play on a 2k bankroll was one of the most ****** decisions you made in a sea of ******ed decisions. lulz. Now you can enjoy battling fitz on 5nl.
