thx man, I definitely need it.

The thing is I'm graduating soon and i must start preparing for technical interviews (first one is with google phd track, gotta review/study TONS of material for it) but I just want to win back a few thousand before i take a break from poker, just want to feel a bit better before I stop... I'm feeling very depressed and can't prepare while on such a brutal downswing. But even after I busted my account, I'm still getting brutalized and busted a few deposits too, which makes me even more depressed.

Sorry for ranting, can't do it in real life, no one would understand.

Hope you turn it around, CompEng. But you should really try and let poker affect real life less than it sounds like it does.

Think about it this way; you've won a lot of money and will continue to do so (practice some game selection and maybe move down for a bit), you are soon to have a degree and if you're applying for a phd, chances are that you're pretty effing smart...what more can you want, really?


Never heard about Google PhD before, can you elaborate a bit on what it is and how it'll work if you get it?

in b4 ban

lmao jfc

you're right that I shouldn't let poker affect real life, and I usually forget about it while I'm out with friends etc, but when I'm in front of my laptop I just can't do it. I look at my EV and then my actual $ and I say to myself, ok I should catch a break at some point, come on let's do this. Just to get ****ed in the *** again. Now I passed my weekly deposit limit on stars, so I'm gona have to take a break whether I like it or not. Thinking rationally, I'm actually glad there's that limit, I need a break from this.

I'm getting my phd in computer engineering next spring (I'm 28). Google have some jobs specifically for phd's, which are more research-based and intellectually stimulating. But the interviews for these positions are usually very tough. Very smart people get rejected regularly.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Funniest post on 2+2 EVER

Ty Ty. It took me about 2hrs to summon up the balls to post it...


But when I did. I felt awesome.

lol i hope the greens won't be to harsh with you cause it was very funny.

Glad I got to see it, spilled my drink all over --> i mean literally. Usually I don't believe it when people say this, but it really made me drop my soda all over the floor

I don't believe you, bro.

its very hard don't let poker affect our real lifes. i suffer w/ this a lot... i assume i can't control this and many things in my life happens due my lucky on poker (if i win big i will be happy person, if i lose i will be nervous etc). i hate being like this, i lose many chances, many days due bad days on poker

i guess this happens w/ me because i play underolled everyday, so it affetcs me a lot if lose 10buy ins in one day. i am thinking to solve this problem w/ meditation or/and yoga, something like that.

btw today i am happy.

talking about compeng, flips etc, i thought ''why not?''

I feel like we should pay someone to regularly post pics for HHs. Runsick's and urubu's delivered

dr.runsick, where did you find the pic of the korean popstar clapping?

Man I just found it in google images. Way easy to find solid gifs there.

If anyone here knows how to make gifs, get in touch with me. I have an absolute cracker that could be used on 90% of PLO hands and would never get old...

Thankyou sir. Appreciate it.

I will endeavour to keep the quality high. I probably won't go as x-rated as that next time, it was fairly well recieved, but I can see why the greens wouldn't be happy.

Im sowwy

This is a simple tutorial for making gifs if you are using Gimp.

I feel like this post isn't on 2p2 anymore

There's a reason for that.

There were only a few people fortunate enough to witness it. Let's just hope that the story lives on throughout 2p2 forever...

I'm such a station.
