Why does hiding behind anonymity make anything he says less true? You want him to show his face so he stops saying things you don't agree with.

Lol, just comedy gold again. Let's unpack this a little bit...

Environmental factors: You live completely rent free at your mum's place and you have a good support network that you can fall back on financially and emotionally, despite continuingly making awful life choices and not progressing in life. In reality the opportunity to fetch money off of your loved ones to get yourself out of the hole should be far gone by now. You should be thankful for what your environment has been able to provide you. The only environmental problem you have encountered is that you caught COVID and had to isolate for a week or so, but that's not any longer than the numerous vacations you've taken since starting this challenge and you were able to just play on the apps in the meantime, which you did and where you ended up punting like your usual self.
Luck factors: You've been running like a train, to the extent that some folks itt (although not the greatest of minds) thought you were fabricating hh's. This is definitely not a factor of importance as to why you're near busto right now.
Made decisions: I'll let you fill in the blanks. Hint: The ol' Brisbane Poker Festival. Hint: 4rolls. Hint: tinned seafood.

Because everyone has a right to face their accuser.

Otherwise he can just say whatever he wants and there's no consequences if he lies.

you're quite familiar with not having to face negative consequences in life so what's the big deal?

I actually agree to an extent, plus it makes some of the made statements non-verifiable. The fact that 6bet exposed his identity, opened himself up to the judgement of the entire forum and manages to deal pretty well with everything that's thrown his way is definitely somewhat admirable, I'll give you that 6bet.

No, you just don't want him to say harsh truths you don't agree with. Anonymous people are at least being more honest with you than people in the real world. Real world people like your wife, your mom and your "friends" are enabling you to continue being a broke degen at 28 with multiple failed college degrees and pizza delivery as your only job experience.

Look regardless of whether you guys are right or wrong, I don't see me discussing whether or not I'm a failure / how much I f**ked up to be a productive conversation. Especially when I'm in the middle of a poker holiday and I'm grinding the lowest stakes at the casino right now, as I'm typing this.

It's like telling an alcoholic one week into their sobriety what a failure they are... How about saying something supportive when they're actually doing the right thing?

You have beautiful eyes and you never punt.

It’s never too late to start making good decisions 6Bet and I think grinding the 1/3 is a good one. Keep playing your game and grinding the low stakes cash games and I’m sure you’ll be successful.

Are there any tournaments left or is it cash from here on out?

You're only grinding 1/3 because you don't have the money to play bigger.

It's weird that you are so open and honest when you **** up yet all you want is support and positive words, not the truth.

Lost 1k at cash games today. I'd post the HH but I made a questionable play in a huge pot and cbf'd listening to people who are heavily biased against me criticising it. I want more positivity in this thread. So yeah it is what it is. Just gonna have a drink, go home and cool off. I won't play when tilted.

Is a glass half full or half empty?

It's both.

The truth looks different through different lenses.

And I can't be f**ked dealing with people who look at me through the lens of: everything I do is bad.

It's up to you whether you post it or not.

I want to know how a self-proclaimed crusher, who calls himself a table captain and everyone else a fish or sh*t reg, goes from $10k to almost broke in 2 weeks.

I'm a recovering drug addict and what made me sort my **** out was people who care about me telling me that I was being a ****ing idiot. You need harsh truths not sugercoated bullshit

A few days ago I commended you for not going to table games during this trip and the fact you've stayed away while losing money and talking **** in this thread is a big accomplishment and a positive sign. Right now you look through the lens of "I don't want to take responsibility because I don't want to put in the effort to fix myself, my situation in life, or give up my addictions.". But you've got to be honest with yourself some day.

I don't think there are many people ITT who think everything you do is bad. Most were praising you when you were doing the sensible thing and grinding 1/3

FYP

exactly, but when most of your decisions in life are terrible ones that is what others are limited to comment on. it's not rocket surgery. 6bet, have you thought about maybe changing for the better? the comments will then turn positive. people are trying to help you see the light... unfortunately, one of your many similarities to Paisting is that you don't want to hear it.

So that's the satellite money gone. How much is left? The bit of money you won from swapping action with friend?

Hope the holiday is going well nevertheless!

Congrats on the recovery!

Unfortunately, aside from your recovery there isn't much else positive to comment about in this thread.

6,
yea lots o piling on over the last few days which is definitely not great for your mind set. If you take a step back and look at things from a fresh perspective you will see that in fact you have made more than one suboptimal play, and the way this thread has evolved people are ready to pounce on just about anything. The good news is I see that you have made at least one fantastic decision. That is to not play while tilted. Great job! Seriously.

Tomorrow is a new day. Do your personal best to make great choices and good things will happen. Hang tough, play well, DONT FORCE IT, work hard.

Good work using everyone's first name mate. What a f*cking w*nker

The exact same statement, framed in a positive way and a negative way


Positive: I won't play when tilted.

Negative: I have no money to play with.

It's not constructive to support your thoughtless gambling habits either. You have to be doing "the right thing" first before you can judge whether people will be supportive of you in such circumstances. In fairness, they not always will be (some people questioning you selling the ME ticket was pretty ridiculous), but you haven't been doing the right thing enough to really test if you can count on the thread's support.

The example of the struggling alcoholic trying to quit drinking and being met with little support falls flat on it's face when you don't recognize any of the issues you have yourself. All you have to do is accept that although you may have enough ability to beat entry level live stakes in the long run, you have huge leaks in your money management (playing severely underrolled & over your head spending habits, just to name two) and mental side of the game (emotional instability at the table and poor impulse control, just to name two), which you need to address. I'm even leaving out the obvious leaks you have in your technical game, which have been pointed out in a thoughtful manner endless times itt. As long as you don't put yourself in a vulnerable spot to learn from the obvious mistakes you're making and ensuring you progress towards the goal you've set, which would be "the right thing" to do, people are not gonna sympathize with you. I'm actually quite an empathic person, but if I haven't seen you do anything with a single good piece of advice in hundreds of pages of text, there's little left to do than to mock your continual ignorance. Just put yourself in a vulnerable spot and admit that you're not as big of a crusher you thought you were, that you have especially off-table issues you have to deal with if you want to make something of yourself, and adopt a learning attitude so you won't repeat this endless cycle of making some money and then going broke. People will be much more forgiving to someone who's made mistakes, admits to making mistakes, makes mistakes again and actually tries to work on fixing them in a meaningful way, as opposed to someone who already believes he's the dog's bollocks, even though in the grand scheme of things he's earned f*ck all in his poker career.
