Having a really bad downswing immediately after setting poker goals - Page 69 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Was thinking the same thing. How come it is suddenly 7K now?

Also regarding food expences OP, i easily eat for $500 or less pr month for myself, and then i dont put the breakes on alot. If i was really trying to cut down on food expences, i would think i could survive on like $250- $300 pr month.

I eat fresh berries with my granola for breakfast everyday like usually raspberries or blueberries. I shop fresh products for dinner almost everyday like steaks, chicken breasts or fish filets, fresh herbs, vegetables+++.

So its easy to eat very good on a budget less than half of the $1300 youre spending pr month. However it does require cooking alot at home and put in the work.

OP's food expenses are a joke. he spends in a day what most people spend in a week.

Also don't lend large sums of money to anyone, you won't get it back. Poker players seem quite reckless and naive when it comes to lending money to people. Don't be like that.

After. I spent a bunch of money last night on the flights and accommodation, but then I won it all back today and more.

Nah my bankroll was never actually as low as 5k for a long time. I told people that it was at least 5k but I wasn't sure on the exact amount. But it was a bit more.

Yeah I'm a lot more hesitant to loan people money nowadays than I was in the past, I'll tell you that. I learnt that the hard way.

Never make a loan to someone who you are unable or unwilling to force to pay you back.

Lending money to poker players is like playing 5/10/20 with a 3BI bankroll, probably worse, don't even lend friends money because it gets really weird really fast when they can't or won't pay it back.

It makes sense to me. When people ask about my bankroll I round way down usually. And he said he got paid back 700 from his friend and he got his final paycheck from work and he won 1k last night. So it adds up.

but he spent $850 on a holiday, spends $1.3k a month on food. not even including rent and bills, that figure probably goes up to $2.5k. any downswing, or even just a mild break even stretch, is going to wipe him out.

That's one person the world isn't going to miss. Shame about the collateral damage.

6,

If you want people to be able to follow along with your journey, just give a bankroll update each post like:

Start: 7000
Lost 300 2/5
Won 1300 5/10
300 first class upgrade for vacation
800 club bottle service YOLO
300 wagyu steak
400 kfc meals
700 rent
Won 1800 5/10/20
End: 7300

OP initially separated his living expense roll from his poker roll. He's now combining them. I'm too lazy to go back to see what the combination amount was. I vaguely remember the living expenses roll at $2500, but wouldn't be surprised at all to be wrong.

Never lend money to anyone you think you may have to persuade to give it back

Unless you hit em with the re-compress and tax that jug.

Math looks fine to me. Pretty sure last time he gave his bank roll he said "around x but I'm not sure how much I will get for my final pay check so I will give an accurate update next week."

Although since it's a poker thread I'm far more interested in how much OP has won since the PGC started and think what he chooses to do with his money is his own business. I don't think there is much more BRM advice that can be offered at this point and it seems a little gratuitous to keep asking OP how close to dead he is.

Kind of lame to poke fun at OP's physical appearance, one not like he stands out in a poker room as the weird looking guy based on that photo, two there's plenty of better material to work with.

WB,

Lol yes for sure, OP is just a totally normal looking white poker player guy and nobody would make a single comment about his appearance if it weren’t for the context of this thread.

Besides, the reason why this thread is getting so much attention is mainly because he brought his life outside of the poker table into it.

I think people should work with any and all material they get given - be that his appearance, his life decisions, his poker results, his finances, anything. If OP didn't want people to comment on his appearance, he wouldn't have posted the photo in the first place.

Easy. 4 chorizo y papas tacos, 1 sirloin egg and cheese taco, and 1 avocado refried bean and jack cheese taco. Also, can do it with just 3 sirloin egg and cheese tacos and 1 avocado refried bean and cheese taco.

Why would you loan anyone money? I'm assuming because you will want them to loan you money in the future when you are bust? Tell them to visit a bank for a loan. You are not in the lending business.

Why are people surprised at how "high" my bankroll is? If anything, I'm surprised that I've made 13k profit since the start of this thread 4 months ago, 95% of which I had a had a job as I was playing, and yet my total net worth is only 8.5k. I spent less than 2k total on a new phone and the trip to Sydney. The only other expenses are rent, food and drinks. And my rent isn't even that high.

I'm surprised at how low my bankroll is, given what I've earnt.

I was legit surprised that you weren't a fatass spending all that money on food every day. Not trying to be a jerk or troll here either. That you weren't fat in that pic was surprising after reading you spend $15 3x a day on meals
