my degen story could prob be like a book or hollywood movie
think rounders mixed with 21 lol
the base of story is getting into poker in middle/high school eventually get good enough to always win money from my friends at the time (played a little online as well) it was a lot of money i was able to turn my meager food allowance into a bank roll i was in high school buying gucci and thinking i was the **** eventually realize theres money to be made from this game so i end up playing at casinos underage hit a jackpot LOLLOLOLOL anyways i was in school and had enough cash to not have any worries word to lil wayne but i learned a valuable lesson to keep my bankroll and my expenses separate i was able to buy myself a car a closet of designer clothes eat 100$ steaks etc and eventually i learned that i dont always win so my bankroll cant support my lavish lifestyle end up getting in a **** ton of debt (damn credit cards) with no income coming in so i was borrowing more money to try and chase my losses (huge no no) eventually i end up getting a ****ty min wage job (taught me a lot and made me doubt my poker abilities) to rebuild a measly bank roll and through some luck i was able to recover a nice amount of my bankroll back eventually blow it all (literally lol)
all while still goin to school life pretty much consisted of school -> work -> poker with some eat/sleep in between was literally a grinder i end up dabbling in some business ventures and get back to poker this is pretty much the summary
point of the story is i went from a high roller to a budget grinder and i persevered through the tough times and climbed my way back up the hole now i have a good job and just play the occasional PLO/HE recreationally
