I once turned $50 into $6,650 in 2.5 hours. I then turned those $6.5K to $22K - two weeks later I lost it all. Had I only stopped for one second and thought about all the things I already knew about bankroll management, I would've had a lot of BI's to lose at 1/2 and live off poker for da rest of my life (because of currency differences between the US and my country)

I don't give a **** if you believe me or not, I've got the room history and hand histories, but I'd really, rather not make you believe me.

A couple years ago around this same time I was absolutely BROKE, and no more student money coming until like 2 months later. I was expecting to have to pay rent in like a week ($800) and I literally had about $65 to my name. So I got this great idea to go play the $50+10 multi at the local cash casino on a friday night. If I won, I could pay my rent, buy food, etc. until the next student check got to me.

So I go and Im playing my absolute A game. Making body language/tell reads and whatnot. Soon I'm the chip leader. Then the final table rolls around. Down to the final 4, where 4th takes about 450 or something and 1st takes $1800. And these guys are ******ed. So I think 3way went on for a long time and someone suggested a chop and I took it, even though I was the overwhelming chip leader. I think I took like $1100 or something. Immediately I went and sat at 1/2 and broke even. Paid rent. Bought food and cigarettes. Got a job the next week.


I've learned proper BR management since then, but man was I happy to be able to pay my rent.

We don't want happy endings ITT. At least tell us you got herpes that night or something.

LOL

or crabs FTW

I tilted again earlier today (disgusted with myself), it was worse because I was 8-tabling the DoN's at the time, so I couldn't just leave. I ****ing ended up losing 10 in a row. TEN! My face was red, shaking with anger etc. And this is just on the $1 DoNs, I don't even want to know what I'd be like playing higher stakes.

The only thing stopping me from being a degen, is that I know I'd be a degen and donk off my whole BR if I moved up in stakes, so I keep myself to micro limits ALWAYS. There's only so much you can lose in a tilt session at micro (its quite a lot if you try hard enough like I do sometimes )

The last tilt session I had, ended in my converting my FPP to a T shirt, cos after losing like $60, I figured stars had virtually taken the shirt off my back so I ordered another one

True? Or trying to keep the $ coming onto these sites to compensate for tha rake that goes off?

i was playing $3 blackjack at the casino last night. won $17. bought an oreo blizzard afterwards.

figured it out on my 3rd deposit... standard

Sick barg!

how does this **** make me lol?

shut up, you

lol

Right after the UIGEA i lost like 10k+ at HSlHE after being a succesful SSLHE grinder for over a year

then... I deposited 1k at WPEX and ran it up to 10k and then lost it playing 50 100 LHE 3 handed

right after this I deposited 1k at carbon and ran it up to 10k again and then lost it at 25 50 HUNL.

Then was broke for a year

now grinding again...

just writing this makes me realize how much I suck at life lol

About a year and a half ago I was in school and had about $100 to my name, with rent due in like 3 weeks or something and no more student money coming. So I thought heh, I'll eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the next 3 weeks and grind NL10 and 25 and cash out a few days before the end of the month, hopefully paying my rent and buying better food and stuff. So I buy a couple packs of cigarettes and deposit my last $105 (50% reload bonus) and I grind away playin the dime.

Monumental days at the dime, and I'm crushing. And within 2 weeks I'm up to like $600. So like a 3 days left to go before the cashout day and I'm thinking hmmm..move up to the quarter and grind out my rent AND a continuing bankroll ahhh uhhuh oh yeah.

So after another monumental day at the dime and making like $75 in a few hours I sit at a 25NL HU table and this guy sits down. And he's a total fuquing spewtard deluxe with like 94/85 stats and he immediately loses two buyins to me and reloads for $50 (double buyin table). He's 3betting and opening relentlessly and I'm licking my chops at my good fortune to have such a total moron with probably an unlimited bankroll to lose sitting next to me and it's all gonna be shipped my way.

And I lost to a couple river suckouts and he called a triple barrel with bottom pair when my combo draw missed and he's back up two buys, we're both sitting with about $100.

And then the monumental hand. I get it all in pre with AKs vs. his AJo and he spikes TWO Jacks by the river and boom, $220 pot goes his way. So I leave and am happy with the fact I can pay my rent right? No, WRONG. I reload 50. Lose it. Reload 50 more. Lose it. Reload 50 more. Tilt it away. One more, then I'm quitting. BAM. One more.

And after about 25 minutes of total tiltmonkey spewtardish destruction, I check my account and I have $69 left.

Soulcrushing degeneracy, my bankroll is gone, my rent is due in a week and Im down to my last 3 slices of bread and my peanut butter is almost all out. By 10 am the rest of the $69 was gone from tilting at the dime.

Sigh.

one time i was sitting in my house on my own i had just split up with my gf who was a crack head but she was nice.. the room was dark i was surrounded by bottles of piss half eaten sandwiches i even had a crust behind my ear i was quite sad because i was busto and heartbroken i thought maybe we would make it work and she would be my main squeese anyway she left me for a crack dealer..so at this point im feelin like ten dewey heart aching empty busto feeling and linger tilt from stacking off with a flush draw because some crotch monkey over bets the pot and i run into the swinging blade and throw up 2 clanging bricks and I just punch my ****in monitor almost put my fist through it and then i kicked my coffee table but not like a regular person no no no..i have to hit it as hard as I can with my ****ing shin!!!! wtff was i thinking im not van damme or some **** that hurt so bad i collapsed in agony and started crying i just laid there whimpering in agony sobbing and eventually the pain eased off but i had blood running all the way down my leg..i just laid there on the carpet for 2 hours staring into space i even knocked one out while laying in the recovery position i felt so lazy like a lazy slob and i smelt so rank like chinese food in a dumpster for days..i eventually get up im wearing stripey boxers and half of them is up my ass ive got my ass cheek showing but i dont care i sit at my pc and watch some 200/400 on betfair wishing i was in the game..i kept sitting at a table hoping i would have cash in my account i actually prayed to mary magdagascar..i check my emails and boooom titan poker have put free money in my damn account!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooooooooooooo..it felt like a blessing.

I rolled up some green leaves and sold them for joints.

Made $85, put it in my bank. Deposited that $85 onto poker. Made $345. Cashed out. Bought some real weed sold it for 6 months. Loaded 1k on poker. Played $10 rebuys - came in third.

Cashed out - bought some coke. Flipped my $3000 worth of coke into $7000.
Loaded $2k on poker won $700 only.

Now I have a $2,700 bankroll. All my bills paid with some cheddar in the bank.

[x] big hemmaroid

This is the greatest story ever. I shall always keep grind on the mind.

niche=degen

did Niche actually have to post a story? A simple "in" would have done

5k to 350k in one week on UB to busto the week after....


actually this wasn't me but a good friend who i'm not gonna name. he's still around though.

HOLY CRAP!!! and did he get most of it back after teh "superuser" story broke?

no lol it was like 3 or 4 years ago and he lost most of it back to green plastic

he took that 5k to 100k in one day (same 5k to 350k that week). all heads up cash.
