Hey man,

Sorry to hear about the poker setbacks. I'll echo what others have said and suggest you stay away from poker at least while you're in school and don't have steady income. I think you're chasing after this fantasy of being a winning poker player, and I can tell you from experience that it's not as fun as it sounds and it's a grind like anything else. I play for a living and if I had a choice between the grind and another job that I was passionate about but made a bit less money, it wouldn't even be close.

Good luck in school,

Rav

MAYBE YOU CAN SELL SOME ORGANS FOR MONEY.. HOW MUCH DO THEY GO FOR??

You're the expert, tell us how much you sold your balls for?

not man boobs????

OP,

The haters ITT are the people who want u to continue 2 play so they can derive some sick pleasure from your degeneracy. And they are the same people bumhunting u at PLO 200.

I am coming from a good place when I say to you that you are a bad poker player and have none of the qualities necessary for success in this business. Here are just a few facts that are based on your own performance: you are compulsive, impatient, and undisciplined. Any debate on that? Ok lets move on. In addition you play when drunk, on tilt, over your head, and poorly bankrolled. You make bad plays, chase losses, and do not know when to stop. Other than that, your game is solid! Given these facts no amount of books, DVDs, DC videos, coaching sessions, or Phil Galfond sweat sessions will change it.

From the “Hustler”, George C Scott to Jackie Gleason “Stick with this kid, he is a loser”. That maybe harsh, but is not untrue. It’s the frog and scorpion analogy (it is in your nature) and you are a degenerate gambling addict. It’s is simple as that. And all the excuses and rationalization can’t change that fact.

What is disappointing is that last paragraph is just a bunch of excuses that you have posted everytime you lose. I wasn’t thinking, I was reckless, I took a shot, blah, blah, blah. And then you go on to try to justify that you are a good player with a few BRM leaks. Cmon dude, thats BS. If u r going to try to BS us, please be a little more creative than that because “it insults our intelligence (godfather)”.

Lastly, I can certainly tell that based on the last paragraph you are clearly going to play again and degen off your remaining bankroll because u have not come to terms with the fact that u r a gambling addict. Maybe not today, but soon. Very soon. The 6k (or so) that u have is burning a hole in your pocket. U r probably thinking about playing right now. U will go down to the casino (win, lose , even), but playing 2 hands in an hour just wont cut it. U will redeposit online and play micros for a little while, get bored and then start 3 tabling at PLO 200. Oh well, and so it goes.

Peace out….

LOL.. degens trying to help degens.. makes me sick

Dooshes gonna doosh

I think he sold his for bout tree fiddy...

Even before the spikes and the plunges, this graph was consistently going downhill. There seems to be little evidence that OP is capable of playing winning cash poker over a sustained period of time. This isn't to say that OP has no skills or no ability to play winning poker in some fashion (entirely possible you simply run good for short periods). But I'd recommend that OP give up playing cash games. You seem to have no tilt control, my friend. Online cash is no place for that. I don't have a problem with people who have fun blowing their money playing poker as long as they have the money to blow and they enjoy themselves. You don't seem to fit the profile on either count.

If you can't give up poker, stick to micros and small tourneys, OP. You need a poker buddy. Someone in your RL to talk you off the ledge when you want to take one of these crazy shots again. Or someone you can have on hand during a crazy shot who can get you to stop when things turn badly. Just keep in mind that not being able to control YOURSELF is a huge problem for a poker player. A deal breaking problem. It doesn't matter if you have other skills which benefit you because this one flaw will eventually get you every time.

I am his Gambler's Anonymous sponsor...

He can turn to me when times are bad...

I'm a huge degen and can relate.. I will talk him off the ledge, unless I myself am on a tilt festival at that time..

You sold yours for a $1k NL challenge.


You are a wannabe degen. Won't even accept your own challenge. That's not a degen...it's a pussy.

pwned.

If our match can raise $100,000 for Japan Relief, I will play you...

Can we get a sponsor?

lmao

Btw Kingfish, this thread is about NeverWasBeen and his poker and personal struggles...

Must you hijack every thread for your own purposes?

Let's keep the focus on NWB..

Thanks..

back to back posts from king fish and nomoneyhu. thread is officially dead.......

Is this serious? So the Australian chapter of Gamblers Anonymous recommends PLO 200 and posting on poker forums as a form of therapy????

Guess whos back losing money?

So how much did he lose??? And who is bumhunting him???

So much for:

"I will likely extend my self-ban to allow me to concentrate on my studies"
"I with drew the remaining $800".

The Dudes gonna sell a kidney soon.....

Chill haters. What steaks he on? How many tabs?

I just looked him up on poker table ratings and see he lost another couple hundred dollars today at plo omaha. in 23 hands !!

I agree that he will be selling a kidney soon-- this started as a feel good story and is going to end tragically. I just feel it coming.

Countdown to the next medical experiment....

Well, it started as a beautiful degen story, actually. It slowly morphed into a somewhat feel-good story, but it seems to have circled back to the starting point again.

Which is fine, it's his life, but we need honest updates, NWB! Don't leave us hanging, man.

Are those all the hands he played? I am surprised he didn't start another account for the degenning....although I appreciate his loyalty to this thread's entertainment factor.

this is painful,
feels just like the Brandon Vedas (ripper) dude who OD'd on drugs while chatting on an IRC channel (except not as bad obv).
Everyone knows he's gonna lose it all but noone can stop him.

anyone have his home-adress? RagingBull?
