Top posts itt. But seriously though, did op starve?

No, he's eating well:

He can always use his girlfriends phone to order pizza and then pick it up himself.

I shouldn't laugh because I've been that busto guy on many occasions but then again I've never bought an $800 phone for a gf when I am a pro poker player with a bankroll smaller than the average Pokerstars play money player.

Man if OP just kept his job and could contain his shottaking to when he showed a profit @ 1/3 he might actually have had 10-20k in the future.

Anyways OP is pretty talented compared to myself, and created a pretty entertaining thread, so GL with life, fixing some leaks and getting a bankroll again.

If OP kept his job he would initially maybe grow a bankroll, but with gambling addicts it's just inevitable before they get an itch and have to gamble for more money. He would just torch 10k on the roulette while drunk.

Make 6bm great again!

OP have gone dark from 2+2 for over 3 weeks now, so i guess he is really in bustoville and isnt coming back for a while.

Common OP, it's much better to admit you busted so you can start again with a fresh mindset... Avoiding your thread is only going to play on your mind in a negative way. Man up and accept much of the criticism was correct and improve as a person

The only way of having a reasonable idea of what's happened is by asking anyone who uses 2+2 and goes to the same casinos as OP.

If any1 wants to chuck in for my uber there and back I will go look for him. Uber cost: $40aud roughly. $80 total

Man, so I guess it finally happened.

I had great times here ITT in the beginning, tried to provide advice and confront OP in every way possible. All for nothing.

Well, actually it provided countless laughs and functioned as a constant reminder of how one should try to be honest with themselves at any time.

No disrespect to OP, but this journey gives such a beautiful insight into the poker struggle, with little to no filter.

I'm sure he will return to this thread one day to update.

But for now, I believe he's in a 'better' place. Working 9-5 shifts for a boss who's ''way dumber than him'', with colleagues that he talks **** about behind their backs and a constant urge to gamble it all up, dreaming of Vegas and beyond.

Go gentle, 6betme

Fixed. If he was actually a poker player, it could've worked out. But he wasn't so he was destined to fail.

Spot on

Thought I would just give everyone a slight glimmer of hope for their Monday morning. I am a Perth Crown grinder and am going across to Melbourne Crown where 6bet plays for a few days in about 4 weeks and will be very frequent there. My priorities will be Finding 6bet > all else. So if no sign before then will update with my findings!

Remember to order food from Pizza Hut.

I hope OP still has stacks to donate by that time.

I imagine in 5 years time this thread will still be bumped in similar fashion to the durrrr challenge in the hope that one day it will be revived.

Possibly, although not that many people knew about this thread. It's like OP just disappeared off the face of the earth. One moment he was providing regular updates; the next moment, it was like he fell off the proverbial cliff.

Busto as predicted obv.

But does his girlfriend's phone still work?

Can we downgrade him to 4 bet me?

Just got done reading the last ~10 pages of this thread. So there seems to be a lot of questions and a lot of rumours about my disappearance, so I'll try to answer everything now.

Why did you disappear without telling us?
Honestly, I never planned to disappear. It just sort of... happened. I woke up one day depressed as f**k and decided that I just didn't feel like going on 2p2 that day. I wanted to be left alone. I didn't want to communicate with anyone. The next day, I felt the same way, and this continued for several weeks. I isolated myself from almost everyone, even my real life friends and family. I began to wake up at 5pm every day and just play Oldschool Runescape on my laptop until 6am and then sleep. That was my routine.

Did you check 2p2 whilst you were gone?
No. I didn't check this thread at all. I honestly didn't even have the energy to read it, even if I knew that I could log on without anyone knowing. I was depressed and I was also too lazy to even attempt to solve my problems, so I just avoided them. I avoided all my responsibilities.

Did you play any poker during that time?
Barely. I played maybe one session per week, if that. I just lost the motivation to play poker. I found a new addiction and that was a game called Runescape. It consumed all of my time.

How did you survive with no money?
A lot of coincidences happened which worked to my favour. An old friend who owed me $1200 finally decided to pay me back just when my rent was due. My tax return came back and I received $650 for that. It was a miracle that these things happened just when they did. I put myself in a horrible position with basically no plan to survive financially, but things happened to work out for me and I managed to survive almost 2 months with no income.

Are you still depressed?
No. I'm feeling much better now. I just went through a phase of hopelessness and low confidence. But now I am ready to get back on my feet and kick a** again. I've already started by fixing my sleeping pattern and quitting Runescape. I am more energetic and enthusiastic about life now than I was a few weeks ago, hence why I've decided to rejoin 2p2.

Do you plan to get a job?
No. Not in the near future at least. Only if and when I absolutely have to.

What is your plan for the future?
Fortunately, another miracle happened recently: one of the members of 2p2 who I know irl contacted me and offered to back me to play 1/3 NL live. He is very knowledgeable about variance and is willing to effectively risk a 4 figure amount of money on me, provided that I stick to the agreement, which includes things like being organised, being punctual, not playing when drunk, not playing during degen hours, not making any spewy plays and not jumping stakes. Any profit that I make is being split between me and my backer. I am going to make the most of this opportunity as this is potentially my way out of the mess that I'm in. I see this as a fresh start; a new chance for me to build up a roll and succeed.

In addition to that, I have another friend who is coaching me to beat online poker. He's a winning 200nl player. I'm currently playing 25nl and he is coaching me for 50% of my profits. With his help, I hope to eventually move up to 200nl.

How do I know that I won't make the same mistakes again?
The short answer is: I don't.

The long answer is: I am going to be much more rigid than I was in the past, with a very specific schedule that I stick to. There will be no more "I've had a few beers but I can still play fine" or "it's late at night but I'm a poker player and my schedule is flexible". I have accountability now: I'm accountable to my backer and to my coach. We have agreed on set times that I will grind. Both of these people are highly successful and their support means a lot to me. Both of these people are also more than willing to end the contract with me if I f**k up and don't stick to our agreement. So I think there is sufficient incentive for me not to f**k up. I have much more to lose this time.

And we're back!

Oh ok, so basically everything you have proven utterly incapable of doing over the duration of this thread. Lets play a game of trying to figure out who the hell was ******ed enough to stake you?

Also how did you survive 2 months on 2k?
