Hick #2, who has been in the game for a few hours now, is still asking the dealer if it’s on him when it’s like 5 spots away.
Mult Dealers and players hv explained how the action order goes , but he still asks.
Ive heard, “is it on me” more than a dozen times. Some how he never knows how much the bet is either.
I’m loving every minute of it. This can’t b real.

Please tell me you didn't quit before they did. You should be taping your eyelids open if neccessary.

I think the raise on turn or river is fine based on your assessment.

But you shouldn't have quit the game if it's as juicy as you claim.

Gross.
Aces full of 7s loses to quads.
A7573
2/5 and dude had $500. It was funny because I’m thinking I’m taking him to value town. He is thinking Vegas and the ****ing Mirage.
Takes me from $1k to $500.

Very next hand Aces again!!! No shitz.
Get $200 in pre when I flat the 3bet all in from short stack. Trying to get whale in by just calling. Going for max value. Whale limp/calls the $200 lol. Initial raiser calls.
4 ways, who cares. I want it.
Flop pretty clean 10 8 3 ish.
Check to me and put the rest $300 otf. Whale gambles 67o for runner runner 2 pairs.

That was the most fun hour I had in a while.
Quads was funny.

Why such a short session? Did you quit out of tilt?

You had a whale sticking $200 in pre-flop with 67o and calling it off with a gutshot. Surely this is a game you want to play in?

...yet less than one hour later you quit because of the same reasons you were loving every minute of playing this table. i would've stayed until every last hick went broke or went back to Broke Back Mountain! in hindsight, would you agree that it was a mistake to rack up?

...

as others have previously commented it seems you're adverse to losing days... but in the post the following day you claim to haven't had as much fun as you had losing $1k in an hour. you're so inconsistent with some comments that it is hard to believe you are practicing #fulltransparency when it comes to your feelings. it's ok to admit you're fearful of losing your roll or whatever it is, you know that right? not only weak individuals show (negative) emotions.

hop back on the saddle and get on the grind at stakes you can afford! terrible bankroll management is the enemy of balanced play.

@mastaaces, “Had fun losing 1k” was sarcasm.
“Quads was funny” was sarcasm.

The roll is weak: I’m taking my chances here and there w spewing whales and hillbillies from the holler. Can’t take punch after punch at the moment. Duckn and weavn to stay in the fight.
I’ll hv more hours this month than last. Next month I’ll hv more hours than this one. Lfg. Keep showing up. #noquit #karatekid #teamAiden #fulltransparency #sayicant

This is why it's important to have a job, or some other income to supplement playing Poker.

With that mindset, you're now the scared money at the table.

One thing is for sure w these stakes, nothing scares me. Lol. I’m buying in for max and playing anything, but scared lol.

So I shd get a job that supplements my poker job? Makes zero sense to me. What u shd b saying is get ur ass in a poker seat and stay there as long as possible. Nah, im cool w just poker and being #semiretired.

Nobody will bother recommending the bolded because the chances of that happening are basically 0.

If you're asking me, what you should be doing is ditching the poker fantasy and get some full time work. You have some creative talents which are going to waste.

If you wish to prolong the poker fantasy then a halfway house option is to have something to supplement your winnings / losses in Poker.

I did also say that in those hugely fishy games which you recently got destroyed in that you should not be picking up your chips and walking away because you lose a few hands. Those are the games you want to be in and the players you make money from. Although history has shown that you'll take the opportunity to quit the minute you can book a win for the day just to post about having a win.

At least those 'hillbillies' from the holler don't have to get on their knees and ask another man to work on their own property ...
