Bumped into a guy I went to school with at a local casino. He was a quiet kid at school but I heard that he was secretly a huge degen.

I get chatting to him during the daily donkament and he tells me that he spun his $2k deposit on Stars upto $144k then spewed it all away, including losing 60k in one day. I didn't believe a word of it as he is known to talk a lot of bs. So I asked him for his screenname so I could look him up on PTR when I got home.

This is what I found: http://www.pokertableratings.com/ful...rch/FakeMonies

So turns out he wasn't lying at all (if that is indeed his account).

1. Join the army - Joining the Marines will beat some discipline and order into your worthless Degen ass, also the pay/benefits isn't bad at all.

2. Leave the country and start off - Because of the massive debts and frauds you committed you will probably not want to come back for 15 years, unless you want to get arrested on the spot. Sign up for some English teaching program for a Asian country, China/Japan/Korea. Teach English, eat good food, bang azn girls, play online poker, live the life.

3. Sell drugs - Dangerous but profitable, just don't start doing the drugs you're selling unless its weed. Also be prepared to spend time in prison if caught.
I can assure you the military will not be taking anyone with over 100k in debt and bankruptcy issues. Anyways good luck STL. I know your dad kicked you out, but there's no possible way he will let you move back in if you go get help for your gambling addiction?

There were little kids who wanted to play but never got to play because I was hogging the machine. The thrill of the claw grabbing onto toys and excitement of picking up the toys were sicker than betting table max and staying on hard 13 against the dealers 7 in blackjack. The amusement park closed and there were a couple of employees who were "cleaning" around the machine (I was told that people complaint because no one else got to use the machine) to keep an eye on me. When I was out of tokens, I pulled out a wad of $100s and one of the employees immediately came up to me and asked what kind of toys I wanted out of the cage. I told him that I didn't want any but I just wanted to play. He took out 4 toys from the cage and asked me to leave.

- parents take over finances and send me to psychologist, relatively stable now at 25k debt

First note, that the thing with BJ is it makes you feel good when after a loosing session of poker, with two BJ clicks you can win it all back again. Which is a trap, obv.

Back in 2005 the whole pokercraze started getting going in holland. Party was giving out free bankrolls and ik signed up multiple accounts just to play with that. I took a few of those 50 free rolls over 1 k, played limit 50/100, lost it all, did it again, etc. I was hooked at the possible of making that much money with so little effort. I decided I could be a consitent winning player and started depositing my monthly student stateloan into the online pokers. Dropped +500$ a month, that for a few years. I'd play serious poker and win a few buy-ins, get subsequently badbeated in the face, after which I try and win it back with 500 a hand BJ, and fail imo. So I have 10 k of losses but figure ok im at uni Ill make it back.

Then I started a poker website that gave out free cash to new players, getting paid by the rooms for delivering depositing players. Was good stuff really, I felt rich and entrepreneur. I made 12k that way, which covered all the state-debt I had run up untill that point and leave some. Unfortunately, the rooms changed rules for referring players, so I took the website went down. The ****ty thing was that as an roomaffiliate I got paid through my pokeraccount on partypoker. Than the obvious degen thing happened. I got major-league drunk and thought I'd make a few extra k's on blackjack before I'd cash out my websitewinnings and pay of debt.. Obviously, in a terrible sesssion I dropped 1 14k on blackjack dropping 500$ a hand. I was sitting behind my computer, wasted, and in a few minutes it was all gone.
I felt like **** and promised myself never to play either poker or bj.
Next day, I talked myself into winning it all back and them some and withdrew 6k out of a studentbankloan (sick interest btw) to play with. It was gone in two weeks. FML.

Did not play poker for a while. I went on holiday, after which I went on a university exchange to a university in the UK. There I bought myself a pokerbook, and told myself I had all the time and patience to start learning poker and bankroll manangement to win back all I had ever lost. DIdnt work out. I blew my money each month so bad I wasnt able to go out or cook proper food, I was on diet of bread and water, watching highstakes tables at fulltilt and whacking off to highstakes.nu on my crap laptop, untill the next government paycheck came in. At one point I took that up to 8 k, after which I got on tilt and BJ'd it all away, again. I was busted so hard but I needed rent money so I called my parents and made up some lame excuse why I needed more money. They transferred that, which I gambled obv, after which I called my sister with a similar lame excuse. Pls give me money.He did that, I obviously donked it off playing way over my head trying to win back rent money and the money my parents gave me. I finally BJ'd the last few bucks and was out of options. I was shaking and smoking sigarettes continiously. No food, no money, and the rent to pay in - 2 days.


I decided to confess to my parents that I had spent my exchange semester blowing their money and stateloans on poker and BJ. I knew they have money and would bail me out (moral hazard imo) That phone-conversation was the most horrible moment in my life. My mother immediately flew over, I met up with her and was so ultimately embarressed with the fact I had not lived up to expectations and was just an idiot addict who blew money and lied to family. She talked to me and said she understood I was addicted and that they help me out. They took over my finances.

That was the best thing that happened to me. I owe my parents forever for
taking me out of the mess I was in, sending me to a psychologist and checking up on me. Im in charge of my own finances now but stayed clear of poker ever since. Thing is, its still something that attracts me on such a pervers level. I'll allways have a weakness towards gambling and poker, which is probably why I lurk these forums from time to time, to get a glimpse of the life that might have been.

I study financial economics (mildly funny considering previous bankroll management), and ill graduate my masters in june with about 30k euro's in government debt. Which is bad, but ill be able to pay interest and my life is not a trainwreck.

my 2 cents,Good luck to all the degens who want to get out
Not sure why I'm reading this on a poker forum. Seems like you'd be well to stay clear...

You got a point. But leave religion out of this. There is more to the US economy collapse than spending on bombing the **** out of foreign countries. $700billion of our tax dollars went to the banks, against our votes, while they already only steal money and provide nothing useful or tangible to society.

On my first trip to Macau I brought HKD2,000 (the equivalent of US$300), lost 1500 in 3 hands of Baccarat and turned the last 500 into 3,000 playing baccarat, leaving me with a 1,000 profit (US$70). About two months of excessive spending later I was broke and only had HKD2,000 left so I went to Macau with it, I lost 1500 quickly and bet the last 500 and turned it into over 10k before losing 4k I spent the other 6k so I ended the trip even. About a week later I only have HKD1k left so I bet it all on Arsenal to win in the first half and they do I more than double but if they I they had lost I would be completely screwed. I then start playing Baccarat online turn US$100 into US$300 start playing poker turn $300 into $450 before tilting it all away after a bad beat. Then I spend the next 2 months using my credit card to cover my expenses because I'm broke my family then sends me 11k (US$1,400) to pay back my credit card debt I go to Macau I lose 5,500 very quickly bet the remaining 5,500 on banker everyone at the table bets a lot on player but I end up winning I keep playing and end up with a 10k profit that I spend instantly. A month later I go to Macau with my tuition money HKD40k (US$6,000) I lose 5k in a few minutes bet another 5k the player shows 8 but I win with 9 then I turn my 40k into 65k. I lose 5k sport betting over the next few weeks then I use 95% of my net worth (including tuition money that I delayed paying by telling excuses to my university) to buy gold on a 10x margin right before the Japanese earthquake I lose 40% in a few hours but get it back, gold keeps going up and up I bet US$200 on Liverpool and I turn the US$400 into US$1,000 playing Baccarat over several days I spend money like crazy because gold keeps going up and I have US$1k online then one day I get cheated for the equivalent of US$200 in a bar I think 'I'll get back the money then cash out my Baccarat winnings" I end up losing the whole US$1,000 I'm broke once again I use my 2 credit cards to get cash and buy HKD100,000 of gold on a 10x margin a day before the death of Bin Laden is announced I then lose nearly HKD80k over the week after Bin Laden's death but it recovers I restart playing poker but read stuff online so that I kind of know what I am doing I win $100 in $1 tournaments and tilt it all away plus several hundreds extra in $5 and $10 tournaments. Right now I have 2 credit card bills with a ****load of interests to pay back as well as my tuition and I'm running out of excuses to tell to my university but I can't sell my gold because the losses are still quite big anyway that's the story of my life over the past few months I'm thinking of going to Macau and bet 100k on a hand of baccarat once gold gets back to a decent price.
