Broke my laptop... - Page 2 - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

So what's a good on laptop for pine poker, since I'm in the market again? Not like I can't search myself, but it would be nice to see what others use.

My two requirements are big screen and numeric keypad.

Lenovo is king.

Why buy a new one when you will probably just smash it again?

Because my winnings allow me to buy another one, and another if I break this one. One computer destroyed in 15 years of online poker is not too bad.

Went with a chromebook this time with a big screen and numeric keypad but haven't played much. Just been to tired on the weekends and work til 2-4am throughout the week so the tables are not as good after my work hours.

All I use it for is poker and researching stocks, so I did not need all the bells and whistles, extended memory, graphics, ect.. that many have to have.

I'm almost 40, too old to rewire my brain. One computer screenin 15 years of bad beats is not too shabby. At least I did not take out a gun and shoot the thing...the kind of stuff you would expect a Florida man to do.

There once was a thread where people posted pics of their smashed computers or laptops. It was a good thread. I had a few unfortunate contributions.

I doubt the pictures are still live, but if you come across it and see all the dead links, you can use your imagination and maybe turn it into a graphic novel and then you can sell it and buy a new laptop. The former owners of this site are into publishing or something. Maybe it was pedophilia. I think it was both. But definitely the latter.

..

I vaguely remember that thread, I've been on these forums since 2010 but lost my log in information from my original account.

Only relatively recently started putting volume in online poker again....miss the pre-black Friday glory days on online poker.

Games don't ever get softer.

Are you improving and enjoying poker? That is the key question.

Usually I don't tilt much and keep my cool but not today. I can afford a new one with my winnings but 2nd guessing myself now.

Part of me just wants to cash out and quit online poker just because it is not profitable enough anymore and the games aren't getting any softer, I have been stuck at the same bankroll level for a few months now. Maybe I should take what little money I made and give up, this is just a sign that I.am just not good enough to make money anymore and weak players just simply do not play much online like they did pre black Friday.

...or should I buy another one and continue grinding away at the micro stakes in hope I can get some decent cashes.

if you have problems getting it in bad against 80% of 109 and down guys, you're terrible. That's how you tell. If you can't get AJ playing like aces on steroids against these guys... you know you should give up.
