First thing I said after I read the story was that he needs to cut those dogs up and eat them before I consider sending dough.

But thats joking, seriously though think alone to yourself for a moment. You sent money to someone with lap dogs.

Ok now that our heads are a bit more clear...

OP you just need more money, can't begrudge your feelings I know how it is to be in TL with a girl and on your motorbike you feel free-er than ever. But get home bust your tail at a job and at least come back with 6k, I think thats your starting point of "being serious about this". Many of my friends with kids in other countries do a 6 on 6 off type of thing. Is she going to leave you? I mean if she does, even better (sorry)...

Wow, interesting read.

You are way too young to get married. Don't let anyone push you into doing something you don't want to do. I don't mean for you to break up your fiancee, but what is the rush? Take a step back and focus on grinding out of this mess. THEN decided if you want to get married or not.

just a friendly advice.

Thanks for sharing, like to hear u went through something similar.

Good tip, it is something i could look into later, right now i just need to do what im sure i can make money from right now as i need it next week.

Great read and thanks for sharing this, yes selling stuff i bought her before and now selling is a bad idea. But if it's really necessary, we both ok about it. I hope i not have to sell things, but it's another option and an extra way to help us.

No, she gives all her money that she makes from work to me, i can confirm that as i see her bank and the bills she got from her boss. We live together, not separately.

Too much for sure in the first months i was here. Last time i bought clothes was beginning of august for our new dog, we bought it 2nd hand and paid like $10 for 4 clothes. Never bought anything else since then, only dog food for less than $10 a week and pay for their vaccins.

We barely have to spend money for taking caring our 2dogs, food and vaccins( finished this month, 1 vaccin is like $5-$10)




Im at 420 games today, running terrible but still show a profit. Will put in another 100 or more and call it a day.

And i would like to thank all the people who helped me out so far. These are the donations i got so far + $217 i got in paypal from cbayly12. For a grand total of $307. Couldn't be more happy about that.
These donations will help me out a lot paying for new visa in Laos, travel cost, rent, food, gas, motorbike payment, internet, phone, things for wash and that kind of things that are needed. I still have a lot of grinding to do for building a liferoll that covers like 2-3 months of my living expenses.
I believe i can do it. Hope to be able to move up soon. But have to withdraw like 100-150 tomorrow from my poker roll as i need to go Laos and money arrive in 3-4working days. So im probably still stuck at $1.5 hypers for some time. Hope to catch up my EV in the next days.

Special thank to alex too for willing to help on my game which is the best gift i could imagine.
Thank u all and i hope to ever do something in return.



Pics of room as requested itt (sorry the room is super super messy, but me and my gf dont' have much time for clean now and it has never been so messy before as now, me or my gf normally clean every 2 days.);


My working station



Gf sleeping...
Reason bed sheet is on the floor is coz our dog pissed on it last night and need to be washed in the morning.(washing machine 20baht)
Bad habit this dog, normally he never pisses on the bed, but when we not take him outside for 1-2 days, he will act bad.



Place for put our clothes for dry and keep some stuff.





Total cost of this place for those who are interested in living cheap in thailand;
3000 baht/month 6baht unit for electricity and 200baht water(overprized)
Bill is around the 4000baht/month ($130)
We have cable for tv, but no money for buy a tv. Aircon is new and very good. Have hot water too.

I use true move 3G for grinding and have my apartment wifi as a back up.
Wifi here is kind of unstable and laggy at times. My 3g is reliable, but had some disconnects past days which is unusual.

Btw i try the use my bicycle as much as i can for saving on gas. I bought the cheapest bicycle i could find 1 month ago for 900baht.

My favourite food here is banana fried and is just around the corner. She always gives much more than other places and is by far the most delicious place. I buy it every morning for 20 or 30 baht($0.75) and this is my food for the first 6hours. In the evening we go to market and cook some food at her work place as them have gas and everything for cook.
I drink street water at 1baht for 1.5liters and fill my bottles every 2-3 days. Today i bought coke as i felt pretty tired all day. Confirmed BALLER.

We not buy any clothes for like 2monthes, last time we bought clothes it was for my gf, 2nd hand clothes for 50-200baht a piece and this was only 1 time.
I never bought anything for myself that is not needed. In the 6months that im here, i bought 10 new clothes for 2000baht in 1 day and bought a fake watch in Myanmar. This is for real lol, im kind of person who really not buy stuff for myself if not needed. Even in the first monthes that i was spending so much, i just never bought anything for myself that i did not need. Im more than fine with that as all i really want is to be with her in chiang mai and play poker.

Seems a horrible way to live at 21 bro. I mean I will be moving to Thailand soon, but I will save enough so I can live a relatively decent lifestyle for the foreseeable future... you are basically living like a poor Thai who has no choice. But you could go home and get a well paid job, save for a year or two and grind hard and build a proper roll. Then next time when you come back out you won't have any money worries and no pressure to get results which will surely mean you can play better and make more money aswell. The stuff you are putting yourself through for this girl, knowing what the majority Thai girls are like... is just depressing to read.

Also, why the f*ck have you got two dogs in an apartment of that size? I mean get rid of them and that'll save you some costs already and they must stink the place out?!

[X] buy flowers for gf once in a while.

I lived in a place worse than this in china and that was the happiest time of my life. Doesn't fk matter where you live

"I sent $217 USD. I'm not judging you about your girl issue. It's not my or anyone else's business.

I was dumb with my bankroll once too. You cannot afford to spend money right now, at all!"

Then: " i would like to thank all the people who helped me out so far. These are the donations i got so far + $217 i got in paypal from cbayly12. For a grand total of $307. Couldn't be more happy about that.
These donations will help me out a lot paying for new visa in Laos, travel cost, rent, food, gas, motorbike payment, internet, phone, things for wash" Love you dude <3!

Seriously though, hope you'll make something happen for yourself. If you love your girl, stick with it and let the cards fall where they may. If everything goes bad with your fiancée I'm sure your family will help you back on your feet.

Stay strong and grind hard!

Looking at that Flower picture, I just can't get the image out of my head of you being Todd from Breaking Bad lol... don't know why. Personalities wouldn't be far off either.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the apartment (Apart from those dogs) I'm talking about having to count every baht, barely being able to buy decent drinking water, not being able to buy anything you want, not being able to eat out or go out at night for good time, not being able to sleep because you're worried about how you will fund this months rent.... it just all seems so... needless and not how I would want to live at 21. These should be the best years or his life, and instead he's grinding $1.5's S'n'G's every waking hour and taking online donations just to be able to eat & for a roof over his head while still treating this girl like she's a princess...the worst part is he if went home tomorrow she would be shacked up with another sucker a week later... that's what so sickening about it all. Do you think she really knows how bad of a situation he is in, or she just doesn't give a **** while he's still buying her stuff?

She is a big dog lover, i was ok with just 1, but she wanted to take care another one and got it for free, so they can play with eachother. It's all fine as she likes spending her free time with the dogs.

Yes it stinks here most of the time. I start to hate it a lot this smell. It pisses me off sometimes, cleaning their piss and ****. But i get a lot of love from our dogs and i love them.
The dogs are fine here and we bring them go to outside everyday and take them to places with our motorbike many time. But they need to stay in room for some time now as we both no have time for play with them.
Im not getting rid of my dogs or run away from here, they're part of the family and my obligation is to be here for them and my gf as that is what i want.
Just running away from hard times is not what people should do. Hope that's clear.

Back to the grind now and will post a graph when finished. After that will review my session, study a bit and go to sleep.

Saddest thread ive ever read, but a good read. Hope it works out for you! And people should really stop throwing insults at the girl/op, really ****ing stupid stereotypes of a person you know nothing about.

Wow what a thread not sure where to start with this.

I strongly believe its a mistake to fall in love with the first girl who lets you stick your dick in her but you seem happy with your decision so best of luck to you.

The one thing I really hope you will listen to is this.

Really I hope you have a long think about where this is going as its a big mess waiting to happen. I know that's why people enjoy threads like this but I am not one of those people who take pleasure out of watching others fail. You know who you are, what a terrible way of thinking when you gain enjoyment out of other peoples misery.

One more thing, I strongly suggest you have a good read of the readers submissions on the stickman bangkok website. There are literally hundreds of stories from people who have got married to Thai girls and then things have ended up real bad. You could learn a lot of info there as you seem very naive about what you could end up getting yourself into.

Thanks for taking the time to tell us your story STTranger and I look forward to following your thread.

**** off you ****, welcome to the internet.

ill ship op $5 for each of the 3 dogs he kicks out on the street.


Also for everything you have done for her, she should be the one down on her knees sucking your little roger while your posting pics ITT charging people $1 each for the photo.

Confirmed, baller.

That's an idea if you want to make some extra money am sure we can come up with some stupid challenges for you to perform for our amusement.

I will pay you $10 on stars if you upload a video of yourself eating one of these things in one bite.

I have tried once and they are real bad but if there is enough interest you could probably make some $$$$$$$$$

I will pay you $10 on stars if you make a video of yourself eating one of these things in one bite.

After actually reading that novel of an OP, I think gf is a lot less shady and OP a tad less naive than I and most of the thread thought/think. OP is still going way too fast and needs more exp before thinking about marriage. But I think the chick trying to push things so fast is more a function of gender roles in that country than a con. Girls just arent gonna get what few middle class jobs exist so theyre prob taught from a young age that getting married and not being a burden to the fam is their goal in life.

OP id be down to buy part or all of your action if you want to give 3.50s a shot. You also have Awice offering help which Id strongly recommend you accept. But more than anything you need to slow the extravagant spending down and invest in poker. If you want to have the ability to financially support her ina year or w/e you need to sacrifice some stuff now. You're not treating her like a princess by buying her all this **** (assuming a long term thing) youre costing her the chance at a good stable life in the future. Explain that to her. If she's truly not out for your money she'll understand.

Post less emo stuff and more poker related stuff. How do you have your tables arranged (stack, tile, etc), what HUD stats do you use? Whats your study routine?

Finished the day very strong and very happy about that, here is my today's graph



Also made a 1605 score in the high orbit, should be top 10 i think. Still need to be updated.
Started the day feeling really tired, i really need some good sleep today, so i can play more tables as my focus was lacking today.

For those who are interested or not believe i could beat higher stakes...




I play stacked most of the time playing 8-16tabling hyper 6max atm. Tile my tables at end of my session when i reached my last 6.
I put tables aside when i reached HU or tough bubble situation.

My HUD stats are;
VPIP/name/hands
PFR/3bet/foldto3bet/limpcall/sbsteal/bbfoldvssteal

I try to mark some hands while im playing that i have to think twice about it. I like to review after each session for like 15-20min. Use wizard and nash and adjust the ranges a bit according to the information i have.

Im off to bed now, good luck all !

such a win right there, **** boss!

you are surprised your dogs piss in the apartment if you don't walk them for 2-3 days? are you ****ing kidding me? dogs need to be walked 2-3 times A DAY. shame on you. give your dogs to so. who really cares about them.

also, what language do you communicate in?

so you want to hide your identity but dont give a fk about posting tons of pics of your to be wife on the webs? good stuff bro

Pretty quick turn around

vlaams obv

Mainly I had some margs w lunch and forgot I said that but I meant not to completely get backed because needing to keep some kind of roll online helps keep you in check. And Id be more doing it for fun so Id have his interests in mind more than a stdrd backer.

Looks like he's played those and higher before w success so mainly he should just try and slow the leaks from his roll.

Nice day OP.

I do same as you, stack and then move at bbl. Do you manually mve or use TN hotkeys and controller keys? Ive never thougt about tiling when i get down to 6. Thx

My hud is pretty different but for these stakes I think yours is good. I might add overall stl%, itll help you determine whether people are positionally aware or just raise the same from each position. Also one of the better indicators of overall skill and one that converges relatively quickly.
