Must I refer you back to your set vs. flush on the flop where you refused to fold and decided to gamble? What has changed that has made you ready to become a winning PLO player?

I played a big pot in a PLO game where I took a gamble. Weird huh? Ever played PLO? What if he was just repping the flush? What if he had the lone K of hearts and was trying to bluff? Or a set of Jacks? Yeah, I put my money down as a dog and got lucky, but who hasn't done that before? Flopping top set on a 3 flush board is a tricky spot, especially when you're at a table with far more experienced players than yourself.

That was only one hand. You're also forgetting that 1) before that hand occurred I had built my $200 buy-in to $800 despite the table being very strong, and 2) I have good results in PLO tourneys, like winning 3 in a 30 day period with fields of 200, 220 and 998.

Thought that would work a treat right? A gambler requesting assistance that would enable him to gamble consistently and feed the casino coffers? Well the first guy I spoke to sounded very excited by this, but my call was transferred to a woman in the hotel department and she was rigid and unwilling to consider the notion of looking after a gambler that wants to gamble for a week in their casino. Big fail vile wench. I sure as f*ck aint paying the $450 a night that she offered me. Any advice? Any other things I could say to make them want to put me up cheap? I already told them I wanted a room as close to the poker room as possible so that I the time I would need to spend away from the tables would be minimal... .
probably won't have much luck with room rates by just telling them you're a gambler. call the poker room and see if they get a room rate. sometimes they do so long as you log 8 hours or so a day in the poker room. still, the weekends will probably be super high rates in the hotel. once you've had a few drunk binges at the blackjack and roulette tables you should be set on free rooms though!!

I wonder what would happen if I emailed them a link to this thread haha. They'd probably offer to part for my airfares too Thanks for the tip mate. Am in the casino cafe waiting for some food and for a table to open up. Deepstack Monday, all tables have double the max buy-in.

I have shown everyone the best and worst of everything without shame, I'm surprised you believe me now to be being dishonest. Also, there are several players at the Adelaide Casino who have witnessed firsthand my consistent good fortune.

$900 guaranteed and the chance to revisit that strange place that I have such fond memories of is why.
really???

"Firstly, I was doing a completely thing back then. I was reckless, would tilt, and then gamble heavily in -ev situations".
- on your other thread you claim you are playing blackjack and roulette. Would that be + EV?

"I was destructive. I am not that way now".
- on your other thread you claim you are playing while drunk. Did you get that from DC videos? must have missed that tape.

"$900 guaranteed and the chance to revisit that strange place that I have such fond memories of is why"
- but it is -EV from health perspective and from financial perspective as you are "crushing" at the casino and wont die from a potential heart attck.

"I was reckless, would tilt, and then gamble heavily"
- kinda like the way you donked off another $1000 the last few days immediatley after your "self ban" ended.

NWB, its the same story over and over. You degen off a bundle, make a post how this time things will be different, bink a tourney or session, degen off a bundle.

Rinse and repeat. Its in your nature......

A thread that was one of the most awesome, has turned pretty sad. What happened to your degree? Your dreams of traveling? Replaced by gambling and drinking. And you're STILL talking about trying to control it.

Sad but true. Feel the same way, but I have to remind myself to look at the title of the thread:

BEAT: Lost everything playing poker, have become human guinea pig for drug company to play more

Despite peoples best hopes it was never going to be about a guy who wanted to clean up and get his life in order. Its about a sick degen who is addicted to gambling and alcohol and refuses to face up to it and quit. To see someone this young throw away his career, education, and life is sad.

Op busto? I am sure it's easier to post more when things are going well, and to post less often when things are going poorly.

Big disapointment for us as it appears thread may be as dead as his bankroll......well, it was an entertaining read while it lasted if that is the situation.

Hope OP is still alive, and not have succumbed to needless and poor-paying medical experiments.

Or perhaps he is a live pro going balla and making so much money that taking time to post is -ev?

Busto -350
Balla +280

odds imo

nice thread, the ups and downs in this were incredible. Wish I got so obsessed with reading strategy. The human brain is a creepy selfdestructing thing though, it can destroy you way before the body gives up. But I must say, I dont agree with many posters here saying he should quit poker. Giving up your dreams or your passion because someone else says so, should not be done lightly
