That’s a tough one to take on the chin bro. I’m glad you’re handling it well. Best time to roll up and keep it low key for the next few days.

Also love the volume 4K hands in a day beast! Keep up that mentality. Good luck bro even though I know you will be fine

Yikes man ya that one has got to sting a bit. Also not much worse feeling then leaving the casino with empty pockets after getting it in as such a massive favorite. Good luck on the grind moving forward, just gonna have to keep on crushing.

Also wtf at getting stopped again at the border man, what type of car do you have or do you just look super suspicious lol.

yeah, I've considered it. probably would've done it last night if I had any money left


yeah bro, it honestly really stings. I laughed it off at the table, told the dude nh I would've played it the same (which is true - I actually had this exact hand happen in reverse a couple years ago at 2/5 and I only remember because it was the biggest pot of my career at that point. Got it in for 1500 otf KK vs AA, but I didn't bink), but I feel like ****. 6 months rent riding on one ****ing card. I know I shouldn't play 5/10 if I can't handle an lol 4k loss... but 2/5 is such a god damn rake trap at commerce. ugh poker is so frustrating.


9/10 times I walk outta there with 6200 in my pocket. last night I took a nice hard ****ing by variance and left with 0, but it still feels better than all the times I walked out of the casino having lost and having played bad

it's a beat up chevy cobalt, a pretty common car. I'm a 23 year old white dude with long hair and a beard, so yeah besides mexicans I'm the border patrol's main target. everybody else in secondary was either mexican, black or if they were white they had long hair and/or a beard. one clean cut 40ish white guy got flagged for secondary and I watched as they apologized to him and got him on his way within minutes, no search.

Ya playing bad and going broke then leaving the casino is pretty much nut low point, I have made a hour drive a few times back home feeling this way and man that one of the longest hours of my life.

Also the border **** still seems crazy, and that guy not remembering you would be so tilting. I wonder if he was saying that to annoy you or just is a complete and udder scumbag to so many people he can't even remember.

I am also a member of the 2 outered for 20% (or more) of net worth club

Not fun, sorry to read. Sleep it off and grind it back m8

Thread Needs more coke infused stories and less poker, poker is just depressing :'(

oooooh yeah, been there too many times too count tbh

yeah idk, either one seems reasonable. He asked me what time on monday it happened then made some comment that he never remembers anything he does when he's on overtime. which in hindsight sounds like a veiled threat

to be fair I got 6 outered. not even that bad of a beat, just sucks to take it for such a massive pot

grinding it back today. once I bink the sunday milly I won't even remember losing that pot

+1 except drugs r bad (but they make for such great stories )

what do you guys think about the sizing ott and otr? maybe a little bigger ott and a little smaller otr? also what do you guys think about overbet jamming blank river (2x pot)? that was the plan

pretty standard 30x pre, min bet -> gii otf with a pair and a backdoor flush draw

if you aren't 30x'ing pre at least some of the time, then you aren't balanced and suck at the poker. this guy is obv more pro than you. next level.

for real though you can(and maybe should?) just gii pre. no one ever 30x opens then folds pre in my experience.

definitely considered it, but I figured if he misclick typed in $60 instead of $6 he would be more likely to spew post flop and give me his stack, and if I ship he can still get away from some hands. oop I definitely at least min click it back at him pre

lol I know just messing, think its quite funny though I feel like normally it is the other way around. I have heard lots of stories about some drunk guys kissing another dude and what not all ****ed up, just find it funny that it happened the other way around this time and the way you described it was just epic. I honestly use to love visiting the strip clubs as a younger lad, I had probably visited at least 20+ strip clubs and maybe gone 60+ times when I turned 18 and I honestly do not think I have gone once since I turned 19 ( 29 yrs old now ) lol. The things I could do with that money now makes me cringe thinking about, also remember being near blackout drunk once at a very nice gentleman's club and trying to convince this chick in the champagne room to give me head an then her having to dance for this rapper at the time who all the strippers hated because he never actually spent "big money" in the club.
What I would give to be 18 again.

I'd never really gone to strip clubs before in my life til about 6 months ago. Matched with some Tinder bird who was super cute and also danced, so went a few times to see her. She asked to borrow $400 because her dayjob ****ed up payroll or something and she had no money, safe to say, that money never came back. And all I got out the exchange was multiple blue balls.

Fast forward a few months, the **** I could do with $400 in a Thai gogo is absolutely ridiculous. Hotter girls, girls who will actually make out with you too!, and OFC they'll **** you for much less than $400.

The west seems like the biggest scam. I will never leave Asia and I strongly urge OP to come party here as a matter of principle!

Haha ya sounds like you got played big time man, yikes. I also felt this way once I went to Canada for my friends birthday and learned that not only do you not throw money at strippers like you would in the US & also that a lap dance was only $5 (near me its $35-50 a song!) but you could also touch the girls (boobs & ass). I also learned that nearly every single girl that works at a Montreal has implants. Also like you said you basically paying heaps of money for blue balls anyways, it is just brutal.

where are these drunk straight dudes kissing other dudes? that sounds like a party


ouch, sorry to hear about the blue balls lol. $400 can be replaced (you knew you weren't getting that back ) but the pain of blue balls is with you forever. or at least until your next nut. seriously though, idk how people who do scummy **** like this live with themselves

what's the action like out there if I prefer my dudes without tits?



I hate this spot vs a fish. against a reg I'm ripping it otr to fold straights/maybe low flushes, but against a fish I'm getting snapped with those hands and probably even weaker hands too. so I played it safe and called

I imagine there's a decent enough selection? I'll wingman ya at a gay club if you come visit.

haha I'm taking you up on that.

just dc'ed with middle set otf against a fish who min clicked it back wasn't even ignition's fault, stupid internet cut out. tho it's my first dc in 3 months so I guess I can't be too upset compared to how it used to be

I'd be furious!

honestly had so much worse happen I can't even be mad. had a few dc's with nuts or close to it and a lot more money in the pot. this time I had $18 in there. one time at 500nl with close to 100bb already in the pot and 100bb behind I dc'ed with the nut straight. bitched and moaned at ignition and got like $400 in tournament tickets for it, but I was ****ing pissed. and that time it was 100% not my fault, it was back when ignition was having all kinds of dc issues on the daily

Ahh true, nice. Yeah that's good they helped ya out. One time with my previous agent, a friend of mine had AA in a 4bet pot vs a whale who had just donked pot, and one of our admins logged into the account at that exact moment, which logged my buddy off as he was playing :') Absolutely livid he was :") SHouts dryath

I was playing 10/20 a few years back and was deep with some fish i think 6kish eff
he 3 bets me i 4 bet aa he flats. A73 r he pots into me i call turn was like offsuit 9 he pots again i call river was a king he shoves and i timed out/disconnected

I nearly lost my ****ing mind. Still stings a little

Did you disconnect or how does that possibly happen?
