Having a really bad downswing immediately after setting poker goals - Page 419 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I was trying to reply to a post on page 1. I now see there are 418 pages of posts on this thread, and that post is 18 months old. So yeah, I probably should have save myself the effort. First day here, just learning my way around.

Cheers.

Our dark prince has abandoned us to post on Reddit.
Its juicy af but also quite depressing.
It sounds like he needs to come back to poker and get out of the house far away from his abusive drunk wife.

Poor guy needs some help seems he is really deteriorating mentally since leaving poker, punting might have been the best thing for him.

I'm a 25 year old guy. Married to a woman who works 40 hours a week. I feel like a piece of **** in comparison. The only thing that makes me feel better is the fact that she's an alcoholic. She's drunk right now lol. So seeing her flaws makes me feel less bad about my own.

We borrowed money off her dad a few months ago and we're making weekly repayments. He is also struggling financially, and I think this causes my wife stress.

For this specific bill, it was around $300 and came with a $40 late payment fee. That's why I wanted to pay her dad 2 days late: to avoid throwing $40 down the drain.

LOL

I read the first and last page of this thread. You are 25, you are wasting your prime years. You can still make something of yourself. I once though, albeit for less time that I could be a wining poker player, but if you are borrowing money to pay your bill and your wife has a full time job, you are just being a burden to your wife to satisfy your own wants.

6b doesn't come off any better. Unsurprisingly all his poker pro leaks are still there like being lazy, entitled, having every excuse, and asking questions but not wanting or taking advice.

She seems awful but he knew this prior to marrying. 6b, how do you let your wife get drunk multiple times/week (or ever) playing loud music and passing out with your mom at home at midnight? The **** is wrong with you?

This thread's absolute gold: "Am I a pos for asking my wife for money when she ruined my night's sleep?"

Also, his wife causing him to default on a loan by not giving him money to pay it off...while they are married...is probably worse than her getting hammered every night. It affects her just as much as it affects him! Neither one of them seem to be smart enough to understand how marriage works.

Have you ever filled up your car with fuel without having money to pay?

I'm an Uber driver in Australia. I'm out of cash and also out of fuel right now, but I'm expecting my Flexipay to come in in about 8 hours. I'm thinking of filling my car up with petrol, then walking in and just telling them I have no money right now but I'll pay them tonight.

Has anyone ever done this? What are the consequences? Will I get into any trouble with Uber, the car rental company or the law?

****ing hell

What's better is all of his replies. People are explaining to him that taking something without paying for it is stealing, and wrong, and he keeps going "YEAH BUT I'LL PROBABLY COME BACK AND PAY LATER, IS IT STEALING IF YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM BEFORE PAYING FOR SOMETHING???"

Also interesting how his girlfriend has changed for the worse since getting married. Everyone was telling him that she was only marrying him to get citizenship, but he didn't listen and went along with it. Now she's treating him badly because she got what she wanted from him. Although I didn't expect things to go south this quickly.

After reading through some of his posts on Reddit it's hard not to feel a bit of sadness/sympathy for his situation but then I just remember the complete lack of humility he showed during his time in this thread.

I don’t see how I could feel sympathy for this kid.his mom is giving free rent and he won’t even make the effort to engage her in conversation. When someone invests half of their life taking care of you, then continues to care for you when you are an adult, you need to show some respect. You probably mean everything to your mom even though you don’t seem to appreciate her at all. Sure when I was in my 20s I didn’t want to hang out with my parents, but I remember my mom crying on the phone once because I didn’t want to see her once when she was in my city and I hadn’t seen her in awhile. Least you could do is make 20 minutes to talk to her

lol look at all the posters insta back in this like a school reunion! We should all meet down under sometime and celebrate the epicness, that this thread is!

And where's the CEO-guy aka BFF when you need him!? We need a loan really bad now to get out of this mom-wifey-uber-nonsense and back to crushing the soft livepokerz (where we belong)! He must still have his MSOffice and PIO-licenses. Dluo, can you get in contact with him ASAP pls!

All jokes aside, how unthoughtful of him ask these questions on a random internet-forum?

Come back to 2+2, mate!

It's really ****ing cowardly for someone who is not diagnosed with any mental illness to make poor choices and blame mental illness for them. There is obviously a possibility something actually is wrong with 6b, but he won't see a doctor for that.

What illness does he claim? Did he PTSD himself?

He addresses this in a random post I came across. "Doctor costs $150 and my insurance covers up to $75 so I can't do that.". There's a near zero chance that he has a mental illness beyond making awful decisions and a refusal to grow up. Can't be living life as a "normie".

He DID see a doctor, who told him there's nothing wrong with him after one session, don't you remember lmao? The thing with this guy is, he's making stuff up/exaggerates a lot and it sure as hell was entertaining ****.

If I thought I actually had a mental illness, I would uh, work the extra ~5 hours needed to afford to see a doctor and get treatment. He is not doing this because he has a schrodinger excuse until such occurs. Anything he imagines could be wrong with him as long as he never gets in front of an actual doctor! It's probably not lupus though.
