Actually you've been very repetitive, nonsensically so, without showing an ounce of empathy or understanding. (Not an attempt at insult). You also like to interpret and twist everything said to suit your own argument - that's when you manage to see past the thesaurus.


Yes Dunc, my uncle was a sex tourist, no sh*t. He didn't exactly hide it from anyone. He also had several businesses in Pattaya. Meale might know 'The Big Banner Company'

I can relate to this totally, but believe me that the grass isn't greener. Children give you a purpose and a meaning to life, and you won't find anything like the love/bond you have with them anywhere else. It's often true that we don't know what we've got 'til it's gone

That is exactly how OP feels about rice and eggs

Hahaha

When you have no family or responsibilities, and the only thing you have to do to maintain a roof over your head and food on the table is roll out of bed and play poker for a single day once every month (assumed something close to ~$200ev), that's pretty ***** liberating IMO. You want to talk about poverty? How many well off people do you know can afford the luxury of being able to wake up in the morning, roll back over and go to sleep til 4 in the afternoon simply because they feel like it? Most people can't do that without having to call their boss and make up some BS lie and hope they won't get fired over it. What about the luxury of waking up in the morning and walking to the beach and then just enjoying the perfect weather any day of the year? How many well off corporate guys in the UK can afford that luxury do you think? How about having the time to learn a new hobby or skill, to really dedicate yourself to something new and exciting? How about fully dedicating every waking moment to poker knowing with the utmost certainly it's impossible to go busto if he's smart. How many part time players who love to really try and make it in poker but don't have the time because of work and family commitments? OP, with the exception of having to work EV once a month, can spend every waking moment of his life learning to code, practicing a new language, reading and studying books, fk he can meditate for 12 hours a day if he wanted to and still have way more free time in the evenings than most corporate grunts do.

Yeah OP doesn't get the luxury of a nice steak dinner whenever he likes, but obviously he values time and autonomy etc. Oh but no he's living below the poverty line!!! Gtd he's happier than a lot of very wealthy people because he has security, ambition, and all the time in the world.

Ever heard of the guys who sell all their earthly possessions and move to India to meditate in a monastery being particularly depressed about things?

Very well put. This is the general point I was trying to make in the beginning - he’s actually in quite a privileged position. If he were unhappy then he would go back to America TODAY and work/save money to go back with a bigger life roll. The surplus things in life that some seem to value so highly obviously aren’t that big of a deal to him. I would personally value some of the perks you’ve listed regarding OP’s situation above steak any-day. And particularly important is that he isn’t trapped as some people keep making out - he can fly home RIGHT NOW if he wants too.

Oops, I must have lost my thesaurus

There’s also the factor of all things being relative. The man who eats steak every evening likely takes it for granted and doesn’t appreciate it, whereas the man who lives on a basic diet is likely overjoyed when that rare treat comes along. We can get used to anything, whether it’s rice and eggs or steak dinners.

Not fully expressing my points as I’d like to (I’d rather use the thesaurus) but you get the picture..

Another busto grinder who lives in Thailand defending OP. Hmmmm

How does a guy stuck in some awful cfp deal living on 200$/month have security rofl? If he has 2 losing months he’s gonna have to call his parents for a ticket home. Lets not even ****ing start on the ambition.

The rest of your post is hilarious. Lets paint a picture where OP has all the freedom in the world except money to eat but lets also forget the plethora of examples of guys who moved to Thailand, started a pgc with all the freedom and time in the world and suddenly disappeared. I bet it’s because they are all very successful now.

You are also literally the worst person to defend OP. You had to resort to shady app shenanigans and multi-accounting on Bodog to keep the dream alive.

I bet you own a lot of Che Guevara t-shirts.

Edit: for every question you asked me, ask yourself how many have failed doing all that trying to pursue poker. I’ll bet you anything the number is a lot higher than you think it is.

No matter where I read stuff on this forum, it ends up being on Meale cheating

I'll spoon feed you it since you apparently didn't read anything. OP has 100 buyins + 12 months living expenses + $1k emergency fund. More than that now since he's being staked and doesn't need any bankroll really.

So OP has 12 months to figure out how to make $200/month. If he works 150 hours a month he has a year to figure out how to $1.30 per hour playing poker, being coached by an extremely good player who has proven many times over that he produces winners.

If OP can't figure out how to make $1/hour playing poker within a year, he doesn't have to call mum and dad to get a plane ticket home as he has an emergency fund.

Explain to me again how there is no security here?

I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Linus moved to Malta and stopped updating his PGC, guess he's busto too?

Keep telling yourself that mate. When you stop deluding yourself with these fairy tales of yours you might come to learn that it actually is possible to move to SEA, make lots of money, and fK bItChEs. Good night.

“I have no idea what point you’re trying to make” when someone says a plethora of examples of failed pgc threads where people moved to Thailand with a bag full of dreams and ambition and are likely now working for the man. Must be very hard to understand.

Linus succeeded yes. He stopped updating yes. In what world does that have any relevance to how many others failed? Ofc there are people who succeed. There are unfortunately a ton more who don’t. You should know. You got 11 of those threads where you desperately try to make people believe you’re a poker pro.

I understand that having to admit most people fail and you will more than likely end up like them is hard. But that’s the consequence of bad choices.

We can re-visit this all again in 6 months. I mean at this point it’s quite obvious how this all will go down. OP has all the motivation in the world. Then goes on a downswing which is inevitable especially winning at 2bb/100 on Bodog at 100nl. Lol. Stops updating his thread and we forget he ever even existed. Then some other moron with similar goals and dreams creates a new thread and we do this all over again.

I can't believe that you can't see past your own BS/how limited your perspective is. It's like you're on some kind of vendetta. Any good points you might make just get mixed with and overshadowed by BS.

So what do you think OP should do with his life? Go back to America, get a job, buy a house, find a wife, have kids and live happily ever after? Do you think that won't still be a possibility if OP's current plan doesn't work out?

how far did u make it in poker riggins?

OP can and should do with his life what ever he wants. Whether he starves to death or manages to put a few vegetables on his plate daily it means nothing to me as he means nothing to me.

But all of this started when I pointed out how obviously sad and bad his choices are and it’s not like 2p2 history doesn’t agree with me yet his response was “all the haters are jealous of my life” yet his life isn’t worth bragging about. At all. Then of course somehow you trigger a few nobodies who once did what OP is doing and/or want to do what OP is doing now and here we are 40 posts later still saying the same thing.

I’m doing more than fine in both life and poker. Thanks for asking.

You tell your wife yet you want out?

Again, some truths mixed with BS and you end up just not saying anything relevant or valid. What is actually wrong with you?

And if you don't care whatsoever about OP then why do you have such strong opinions about what he's doing? I mean what's even driving you to keep posting? And please don't come out with some spun-up answer intended as an insult because your insults are totally wasted on me and totally boring. Objective fact rather than self-defence

Ooh the irony.

I help people. Rather than being a sick **** like you and encourage people to destroy their lives I try to help them by being honest with them.

There’s something money can’t buy. Honesty.

You are totally deluded if you believe that a single comment you've made in this thread could help anybody. Totally deluded, I mean, that's insane.

A deluded, narrow-minded honest person can only spout deluded, narrow-minded words, however honest they may be

"I try to help people"

Man, you literally just make it up as you go along

LMFAO. You've been eating my ass since I started the thread. Either you just love the taste or you are a masochist of some kind and love that you hate it.

Anyway...Merry Xmas to all my digital pets.

Played Dota 2 for the past 36 hours, and going to a $7 buffet tonight with my thai sister. I'll take pictures. Not rice and eggs for a change.

Going to grind until the new year starting tomorrow then take a 5 to 7 day break after the new year to refresh my mind and break some muscle memory habits that I've developed while grinding.

If you continue playing more Dota 2 you’re going to be eating sleep for dinner.
