graph only shows 1500 win but it was 2k not sure why its not showing 2k.



my Shakscope graph not opted in so that's all that's showing but the rest are all loses i think i won like 3 games from my last 26 or so



Not sure why i even bother when i keep Tilting so bad hmmm i played $15 SNGS before running it up and when i reached $500 than started playing $100 games ( i know i need 100 BI not 5) at one time my roll was 2k than for no reason i just get bored and start playing bad at $100 and Tilting like a idiot. i lost like 2k in maybe 1.5 2 hours all $100 games 20 Buy ins as i set a restriction to my account so i could not play higher than $100 but that didn't help as i was on a mission to burn through the whole roll shoving with like 34 off suit pre flop and just wanted to have Zero balance and go to bed... well i did at least accomplish that.

I'm just weird not sure why i just don't stick to playing properly instead getting bored playing these low stakes and start Tilting as 2k becomes 3 than 4 than 5 10k and so on but nope mental has to Tilt.

Umm 20 buyins, is this a joke?

Maybe you got superused

AKkingdom, who are you? This thread is not a normal BBV thread. Respect people here or get the ban hammer.

This thread deserves to be stickied imo...

Sigh... THIS!

Keep 'em coming!

He may have meant .02/.04 which would be 2000 buyins.

Hi, I am new to 2+2 but know about it and have read the forums in the past rarely... This thread has been the only thing to make me feel better, and my story is not that bad but... Hopefully it can be appreciated....

During the early 2000s I was at a private University and by chance I moved into a house with a few guys from Boston, but we were living in the south.

I had never met the roommate but knew him through personal friend...yada yada... these guys were playing high stakes poker on Pacific Pokerback in the day.... I slowly go into it... Then as the poker boom continued things just got crazy. The guys had another friend who was really good and was winning nearly 50k a month playing on 888 and he was literally cupporting himself at 19 with this. The guy came to our 'frat house' although we were not a real frat, just 6 college sophomores living in a nice house and living like rockstars. The kid paid our $2400 rent, bougth us food, bought all drinks at bars. I actually saw his cashout history as he was a stickler about cashout history and he was always interested in seeing people's cashout history to know if they were the real deal or another fish. He would not let others say they were winning players unless they could prove it through cashout history. he taught me how to play, life was grand, money was no issue, we all had accounts with over $50K in it... We partied like rockstars, bought girls things that we didnt even sleep with, and pretty much played poker for 4 years. We were pretty much GOD DAMNED IDIOTS about BMR but we didnt care, online poker would last forever, the internet was the newst thing to hit earth and why would anyone ever go to a casino again when you could just play on your laptop... How smart we were... I learned the game from these guys.... At the end of college, the poker boom had died down and it was around the time 888 and the others pulle dout of the American market. I never got into the FT / Pokerstars after the 2006 gaming laws and my friends always hinted at the fact of black friday was inevitable. The guy who was the star moved to Europe and now still supports himself through PS but I have no contact with him longer...

Fast forward 5 years to my blowing my liferoll....I am now aprox 30 ..

I WAS an all around entrepreneur, and still am, except this minute Im broke. but this is the story of how you spiral out of control...

I learned of bitcoins in 2009 ... I am very technical savy and can build a computer from scratch.... I began to invest into bitcoin infrastructure and build computers to mine the bitcoins... I am able to build a computer for about 1/3 of its retail value, so I am putting together $800 computers for around $250-$300 I invested nearly $4500 into the stuff, and i began to mine bitcoins successfully... life was grand, my girlfriend was proud... I mined a few hundred bitcions before I even entered the bitcoin forums and saw all the possibilities of the gambling and how bitcoin will be the future of the online gaming industry. I am smart enough to not gamble except NH Texas Holdem.... I dont play house games, i dont sportsbet... blah blah...

I deposited 100 bitcoins which were worth about $18 each at the time into betco.in I blew through the coins in 4 days with no BRM and hadnt touched poker since i played online in college...

So no biggie...$1880 is chump change and I am literally mining bitcoins still, making about 3-4 bitcoins a day... long story short for weeks I lost everything on the betco.in site. The btcontilt.com was created and I thought it was great. So I wanted more bitcoins and at this point I could only mine a few a day, so I bought $5000 worth and blew through that on the bitcoin poker sites.

Then I decided that i needed to mine more bitcoins so I convimced my girlfriend to let me use her $4000k and her $5000 line of credit to build more machines to mine bitcoins. At one point I had 23 computers running in my two bedroom apartment but had to down scale because the heat created was keeping out apartment over 85 degrees, my girlfriend said she didnt like all the noise... I recouped our her $9k investment into my bitcoins machines (computers) and guess what I did with that... lost it in a few days on the btcontilt.com to coolers and one hand for a250 BTC pot with a set of 8s and the board then came flop 10 8 K then Turn K then River Q. The guy had QQ... this hand sent me on life tilt as I was trying so hard to make my bitcoin enterprise work. I blew the rest.

I sold a few machines of the computers, still having about 25 computers, lost that $2k playing on btcontilt.com

The with only 15 machines, down about $15k I kept mining bitcoins and grinding the bitcoin poker sites with small stakes but in vain, as at this point I was just wasting my life because there is no way to pull youself out of a $20k hole playing small stakes btc poker...

I then convinced my girlfriend to let us overdraw her bank account for $4000 and max out her dad's $18k line of credit with Chase. I gambled away most this $20k on the sites and then I went out on my own to open two more credit cards with my girrlfreind's permission which are now also maxed out and the money was lost on bitcoin poker... what gives...?

Also, I do have a job as a delivery driver for just a few hours a day making about $70 cash a day in a few hours,. all this money has been spent on living expensives and guess what else, bitcoin poker.... Luckily I still have my job, but since I was such a degen, I was too stingy to get an oil change because I NEEDED THE MONEY TO PLAY BITCOIN POKER, and I blew my motor DUE TO NO OIL. My car is now worthless except the guy at the junk yard offered me $3k because he said its for parts. Also, the electricity it takes to mine bitcoins is hefty, as I owe over $3500 in electric bills that I have opened in my name, my moms name, my sisters name and my dads name... At this point, when I can't pay the active account, I dont think I have any other family members who I can open new electricity accounts in.

Ultimately my girlfriend knows nothing of this and thinks I have about $50K in bitcoins. Ive kept the ship sailing by buying her nice things here and there...

I have no money, no bitcoins, no computers because I sold them. Bitcoin is at an all time high and I gambled all mine away. I cant pay my rent, I cant pay my electricy, I dont havea working car any more...

Luckily she is about to graduate from a a medical program and have a great life. How do I tell her? LOL, can anyone front me a few bitcoins? address 19sh9nZtfci6HEGuhWadUPz9wCDdD8X53U if your feeling generous.

Dont beg.
Provide pics of girlfriend itt and I'm sure someone can helpyou out.

1st post begging for bcoins... Yeah mate we wil start shipping you bcoins as soon as we mine them (ead douchebag, we have our own life problems)

Wow, ultimate degen begging for money...stfu and go get a drug front and slang your way back to the felt hoss...

great story tho

Ruo is that all you comment?

yes

Goodness, def not a beg... Ill even delete that part... haha, you guys are something else.... LOL all I can do is laugh.... yea because I was at wit's end until I found this thread, even contemplating suicide for a moment but obviously Im far from that, ESPECIALLY after reading this thread, and I sat up all night reading through all 300 pages of it. Its the best therapy in weeks. It made me feel so much better to hear some of the utmost pathetic stores. At least Im still in good health, mentally stable and dont live in my own filth.

I am so happy I found this thread because it shows me I dont even have it half bad....

I thought that the thread some people might offer some advice, but ultimately these past 24 hours have been the most uplifting 24 hours of my life and I think I will actually work up the courage to tell her so I can get this crap behind me, and the way I am going to break it to her is by letting her read this thread first, then Im just going to drop the bomb, and tell her to take me or leave me... LOL I know her well enough that after she reads some of the **** on this thread, she will only laugh about out $50K loss but expect me to work a real job to earn it back, which is the most logical way to do it anyways. God, she and I will have laughs for life about this thread, I think you really could make a book like that guy said about all the stories....

Thanks guys for the thoughts... and yes, get really upset because I asked for a free btc? LOl,****ing hilarious.. if you can get so upset that I asked for a BTC, you obviously have mental instability problems. ****ing odd, but ill def delete that part since it makes you guys so upset....

Oh and what the **** is that post that says post a pic of my gf's tti? You mean her tits? Or you mean her? Either way Im def not desperate enough to post public pics of her... I have way more respect than that

Goodness, it wont let me delete the part where I said you can send me btc ... its all pretty funny, when you think about it....

Because I went on such life tilt due to playing online poker... Totaled a car, gambled away a $50K investment that should have turned into $150K+ (And im not saying I should have won on the tables, Im talking about if I had just saved all the bitcoins, the 1000s of bitcoins would be worth so much... but I donked them off def a lesson of a lifetime but couldnt really pull my self out of the hell hole of depression and fear until I read this thread.... it allowed me to step back and compare my reality to other's and see how bad gambling can be for those who dont have mental stability

Its funny because I have learned from my lesson, as I was on track for an amazing investment in my life, which could have made me a young millionaire... oh BTC hasnt risen $0.10 to $75 over the past year or anything... and I totaled my car, and my girlfriend thinks I have all those bitcoins... def degen but not much longer... And honestly after reading this thread I doubt ill play NLTexasHoldem again.

I just got caught up in the old hysteria of the online poker boom, and thought that I could sit down 5 years later and pick up where I left off, obviously that didnt happen and obviously I dont know how to play poker or manage my bankroll and at least Im stable enough to give it up and realize I dont know what the **** I am doing when it comes to playing poker but that I do know what I am doing when it comes to investing, because had I just held my bitcoins and not got back into online poker, I would be living the dream with a bank roll I could travel the world with, transferring money through borders and around customs with out any notice... but I blew that so now I get to spend the next 5 years of my life working like a slave, digging myself out of the hole and proving to the people I love that I am strong enough to overcome it. But def a true degen story, as I literally gambled my life away because I just wasnt stable enough to control myself when in the live hands... I had the world but couldnt see the forst from the trees, now I have nothing but peasant clothes, a broken car, a maxed out electric bill and no idea how I will pay rent in 10 days, but obviously it will get paid... heh

cool, didn't read it all obviously, but yeah man - **** happens and to some of us more **** then other's, but live goes on.. Without that type of **** life would be boring. Man up and go rob some grannies!

oh ya real classy, what a ****ing joke, who is that worthless?

If anything, I'd armed-robbery a few of you poker degens in the parking garage when you leave the casino if I was really that desperate

degen gotta do what a degen gotta do....

I'd "get stark naked, climb a few trees, try to get back to nature and forget the poker" like King Niche did....

+1

All of us degen way more $$ than we can afford, it's our nature. The key is to rise back up and take a bigger shot than before. Variance has to work out in the long run.

No begging - instaban IMO

def instaban and delete those please.

Cmon guys wtf is this. I think there should be a rule in this thread that IF you post you have to add a personal degen story. This thread is turning in to ****.

Okay so here it goes

Cliffs;
Put my last dollar on online roulettes and grind it upto 1k to lose it in 5 minutes.
