Anyone who wants to come into this thread and give me advice consider this, my blood pressure is 108/62 with a resting heart rate of 60(tested last week). And I have a near genius level intellect. I'm smarter than you and I'm going to live longer than you.... I don't want your stupid advice.

I am happy not holding a candle to you in gambling, I have no desire to be a degen. I'm a low level beginner and I know it. I'm sure you are way more skilled than me. I like using bankroll management and working my way up. I wouldn't play you heads up as I'm sure you're better. It's - EV. So not smart on my part would it be? Still I shouldn't have posted, especially in the way I did. It was ****ty of me, no excuses.
I have a good friend that is a degen and lost his house to it and there is no long term way to win without bankroll management. He's very talented too but always ends up broke and he's had several six figure scores. He just can't help himself. It's sad as hell to me. You seem very similar to him.
You know you can have incredible self belief and still limit risk at least somewhat right? They don't have to be mutually exclusive. It doesn't have to be all or nothing all the time. It's just being smart about it and that's what I meant about learning. But it's your life man and all the best. I hope you win millions and make your mark. I'll be the first to congratulate you and sincere apologies for being a jerk about it.
you admit to not being able to beat me heads up. im still challenging you to a $500 math test smart guy.
dont project your loser friends problems onto my life. we are not the same person.
thanks for the apology and good luck with everything.

I think sweetswing1's question on did you learn anything is a legitimate one, and I also hope you learned something. It may not be running bad with AK vs AQ, but in a tournament you pretty much always have to win a flip or hold as a favorite, usually multiple times, to make the money.
he didnt ask if i learned anything he asked

So do you regret not selling any action or have you learned nothing?
do you see the difference there? and why are you upset about actions i take in my life? seriously, whats it to you?
can any of you people read??? why in the hell are you explaining the nature of a damn poker tournament to me??? like do you think i don't realize the massive short term variance involved in tournament poker??? I have to always win flips in tourneys??? what???? i thought if i played well i was guaranteed a trophy????????????????
GTFO.

but i do wish i could find one person i could trust to park a van or RV next to the commerce and move it periodically because im unable to learn how to drive due to autism. and then rent it to me for like $150-200 a week and make sure i sleep in it both unbothered and alone. but im worried of being setup for a robbery, even though id have almost no cash on me and it would all be in the commerce bank or my regular bank. (they would kill me for my ATM card). the cost of $500-700 per week for a hotel is eating up about 100% of my profits. though i am earning $32 an hour so far for the first 30 hours ive been logged in while in town.
imagine what my roll could be if i wasnt spending over 75% of my income living out of hotels since i dont have ccredit and proof of income to rent an apartment nor can i afford to take 6 months out of my roll upfront. plus im too afraid to be in a roommate situation. i would never live in anyones house i dont know only if i had the entire place to myself with NO other tenants, not even the owner.
being able to grow the roll would be far easier if the $100-400 PLO $1-2 blinds would quit breaking up. everyone wants to RUN once 1 person leaves, why so much fear to play shorthanded? dont u know u get a LOWER DROP? this is the easiest game to beat in the entire place, and the drop is low just like $40 NL. i sure couldnt afford to play $300-500 or $500-1500 NL to beat the rake, because ive been playing no higher than $1-2 for the last 15 years
hmmm gl on the sleeping situation, anyone charging you 150/week to live in a van would be ripping you off. but yeah i understand how you feel. id rather sleep in my car than rent half a room i have to share with some random weirdo. i did that before and i didn't like it. living in the tent was better.
what are your plans if you go broke?

he was recommending sticking to the $200 buy-in game instead of jumping in the $300-$500 game which is what I was doing.
