In Darth Vaders voice-“Luke my son, you have not yet felt pain.”

I hope you rest well knowing you've violated the ten commandments in an attempt to remain financially solvent you false worshiper!

So I lost JJ to Q4s all-in pre-flop for 300 BBs today. (I limp, Q4 makes it $25, 2 callers, I make it $125, Q4 makes it $225, I put him all-in for $280, he calls, Q-high flop, easy game.)

I’m done for real now. A long-awaited DOWNSWING of $1800 this week emptied my bankroll—I’m out of money!

I finish my “career” with a win rate of 19 BBs an hour in 250 hours of play.

You have felt pain. Now you are finished. GG

were you pulling money out of your bankroll for family expenses?

Yeah. Every time my roll got over $3,000 or so I'd put $1,000 of it in our joint checking account for expenses.

$38/hr tax free is better than 90% of the jobs out there... why quit?

I have no idea if this was actually me but definitely sounds like I hand I would have played

True win rate for a crusher in this game is probably closer to like $15/hr. Maybe $20/hr if not tipping and you are ok with everyone hating you.

UPDATE: I'm six weeks into my new job and I've remembered that real jobs ****ing SUCK.

Based. When spread limit live pro again?

very sad ; and in China they wager their own heads.

UPDATE: quit my job, switched to a part-time no-stress job that will leave me more time for THE POKERS.

Good luck!

Hopefully the part time covers your expenses so you don't have to depend on the pokers. Poker is so much more fun when it can be relatively stress free.

update: Best session yet! Bought in for $300, cashed out 8 hours later with $1883. I can’t even pretend I played well, this was just the softest table I’ve ever played at, and I ran very well. THE HIGHLIGHTS AND LOWLIGHT:

Up $2500 through 5 sessions of $1-$2 in my glorious return

Let’s not talk about Thursday. That wasn’t fair. One guy gave me the “I know I’m beat but I call anyway” speech when I was bluffing, what the **** is that?

Made another $350 today, which included this WTF hand, a real masterclass by all involved:

Raise Ah4h UTG2 after a limp. Guy in MP 3-bets to 36. All fold. I 4-bet to 96. MP Calls. Flop 9d8h4c. I bet 50. He raises to 150. I reraise to 250. He calls. Turn 5x. I go all-in for 61 he calls. River 2. I table my hand and MY HAND IS GOOD!!!!!!!

You are the first person ever to have ace high flush draw vs smaller fd and win with ace high.

Amazing bro.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?

Had to be a JT, but yeah. When he called my reraise on the flop I sure didn’t like my chances of winning unimproved!

update: I’ve now had seven straight winning sessions over the last two weeks, having won about $5,000 in that time.

My overall stats are now 23 BBs an hour over 292 hours.

Moreover, in the life news, my part-time job that I got is basically the most enjoyable job I’ve ever had in my life? It’s at a foggy day care, so they basically pay me to play with dogs all day? I’ve never been so happy?

Sounds like games are good and you are running pretty good at the same time. Great combo while trying to build that bankroll up!
