Yeah, no kidding. I think she'll be fine.

A few years ago I was a 10/20 grinder, and when I'd lose a bunch of bets I would go UP to 200/400 and play 3 handed with st1ckman and otterkopf with a 30k roll (and no backup plan/money whatsoever). I most definitely never considered moving down. Something tells me this isn't a thought merry (and most smart people) ever really entertain. Those smart people are usually the ones with money at the end.

LOL me some Elo degen stories, though I am happy to hear that you are turning away from the dark side. That you even still exist in today's game with stories like this is proof of what a great player you are.

Thanks fellas . I sometimes wonder how many people did the type of degen stuff I did and are still around.

What's even worse is that I was 20-21 at the time and intermittently living with my mom. When I won 300k in 2 months and then dropped 105k in one night I was staying there too. After that night I considered challenging her to hu4rolls.

I don't understand why anyone is excited that a 10/20 player played an overlong 2/4 session and lost the equivalent a buy in at one normal table. It sure beats moving up 3 limits to play a long session and spewing.

You're still my hero.

You'll likely make it all back in the next 3 days.

thanks guys in the vote of confidence, and yeah i do admit that during the session i was never even thinking of sitting at the 10-20 game because i felt i wasn't on my best game, but i still wasn't discipline enough to stop and go to sleep. but u made me feel better, and yeah i am going to set some goal so this will not happen any time soon.

ASU is good at losing games. They are definitely a better team than I thought at the beginning of the year, but we only have 1 senior starter, so next year could be our year!

When I log on using Firefox Scorcho is chewing real fast for some reason.

While I agree with your statement above, I would like to offer up my WSU Cougars as being professionals at losing football games. It is just a matter of time until they remove us from the Pac 10 and put us in the Big Sky league to Boise State can kick the **** out of us.

Just got a check, delivered by DHL from Singapore (from Pokerstars) and the return address actually had a person's name on it. Also, it was actually for the exact amount I cashed out for (usually it's for 26 cents more or something).

None of those things have ever happened before. Assuming it clears I'm happy because I got my check in 3 business days.
