Update 3rd day clean

Btw Dallas +2 vs redskins because surely the dak man was not the whole team and they can play a game without being pi ss poor....

Ffs, I typed up a super long story and hit 'back' by accident.

I'll skip the rest of the story and jump right into it. I was playing poker with the guys I played with before my buddy Jack introduced me to. Half of them were drug dealers, the other half... drug users? Lol, anyways, nice group of guys.

We were playing 5/5, I bought in for $400, which was all I had on me. We're playing 7 handed, very first hand I pick up AKss in the big blind. Every single person limps, and the SB min-raises to $10. I threw in $75, tilted he min raised so the table would go around again, taking forever. Everyone folds to the SB, who proceeds to basically min-raise.

"For **** sakes," I thought. Coolered already? Doesn't matter. I shove, and before I can announce all in the SB yells "CALL!!!!!!"

He slams 55 on the table like they were two black aces. The flop comes 845, drawing dead to a chop. He starts yelling again...

"No ace!"
"No ace!"
"No king!"

"Dude, I'm dead..."

The turn was a blank and he is ecstatic. "YES!!!!!"

I was tilted as all **** that he was cheering no ace when I was dead. Even more tilted that I swore he had KK or some**** when he snap calls the shove and slams his hand down.

Down $400 and tilted as ****, I get someone to drive me to the liquor store, as I'd already had a few today. I head to a bank to pick up more cash, and figure out my limit is $2,000. Head to the liquor store and pick up a ton of booze.

I lose $1,500 pretty quickly, no one is folding, and one guy is just steamrolling the entire table. I start pounding back tequila, and win up to $4,000 from my last $500. We've been playing forever at this point, and we're down to three handed. We decide to switch to $5/10 at this point. I build my stack up to $5,000. At this point the third player quits, me and this big dude are heads-up, and I'm drunk. At this point it gets ******ed, I run like absolute dog****.

I lose $2,000 when I pick up KK in the BB. He limps, I raise to $60. Flop is K58. I bet $100. He calls. Turn is a 3c, bringing in a back door flush draw, and I bet $250. River is a 2c. I bet the pot, and he calls... with 69cc. Hit runner runner flush. I am pissed and getting drunk on raging tilt. I made a remark about him setting up the deck because he dealt. In hindsight I'm super lucky he didn't take it too bad, the remark was def over the line, I don't think he was cheating. Plus he looked like someone who would stomp me out on a bad day.

He tossed me the deck and said I can deal it all if I thought he was cheating. I start dealing all of the hands. I go broke when I get it all in on 910Jss, I had Q8, and he had 78 of spades. Turn was a spade. I borrow $1,000 off of Jack. Lose it. Another $1,000. Lose it. Another $1,000. Lose it alllll. I get $3,000 on credit, Jack vouches for me.

At this point everyone is drunk as ****, and I offer to rotate dealing, I hate dealing. He doesn't want to deal either. I shuffle, he cuts.. I deal and look down at QQ. I raise to $50. He 3bets to $150. I 4-bet to $650. He thinks forever when he offers me a deal. He said he is going to fold, unless we can both put in $1,000 and deal out the board. I have never heard of this before, and it confused the **** out of me. He said if we don't do the deal he's gonna fold. I accept the deal.

I flip up my QQ and he looks embarrassed as hell, doesn't want to show. Whatever. The flop is K77. He tells me get ready to take it. Turn 4, river 4. I look at him and he looks ready to just muck it before he yells "OH, ****!"

He sheepishly turns over J4. Jack ****ing four. At this point I have no idea what I'm down, like $7 or $8k and I feel visibly flustered. I tell him **** it, I'm done, this is bull****.

At this point I owe the guy $1,000, because I had $3,000 on credit and lost a grand the first hand. I told him I would pay him first thing tomorrow, or even tonight if he had EMT. He told me to just wait, and asked if I wanted to do flips. I say **** that, I'm down a ton, there's no point I'll only get angrier. He offers another deal. One flip for $5,000, and I start off with AQ of spades. Simple enough, but I'm getting drunk and don't realize what he said at first.

I decline, but then I think what would Phil Gordon do. There's no way even that nit would ever decline a flip with that much equity. I accepted then. I get AQ of spades, and we have one of the women there shuffle, cut, deal. He has K8, and the flop is QKx. He holds.

Hoooly **** what the **** am I doing with my life, jesus christ. Ugh at this point I'm literally just slamming tequila. I ask Jack if he knows where to get blow, and he points to the guy right next to me. I ask him for a ball and tell him I'll pay him tmrw asap.

I must have looked reeeally pathetic or something, because he told me to "just have it bro," as long as I shared it. I told him nah I'd pay for it tomorrow, and he said again that it was free, as he was up in the game. At this point I felt like a bill perkins level fish, even though I felt like I ran like dog****. I owe this guy $6,000 tomorrow.

Just then the big dude offers another flip. For $10,000. Same deal, I get AQ of spades. I decline. I'm just down way, way too much. The big dude I lost to, Josh, flips someone else. Josh loses. This gets the degen juices flowing.

I start looking for some cosmic signs around the room. A sign straight from jesus christ himself to get me mostly out of this ****ing hole. The hottest chick in the room was wearing a tank top with a heart on it. That's it, **** spades... it's all about those hearts. I tell him if I get AQ of hearts he has a deal. If I lose I'll pay him in bitcoin before I drive off a bridge. That got some nervous laughter.

We set it up, and I'm dealing this time. I get AQ of hearts, shuffle, cut, deal. He turns over 99. Pocket ****ing nines. The whole night starts replaying in my head. I feel like the whole time I've been looking for degen signs that this guy is actually jesus christ himself. His name even starts with J. Plus he offers me all these weird ****ing deals like just going in for $1,000, and beating me with J4. These flips where I start out with AQ. This guy is literally some weird gambling wizard here to beat me the **** down.

"ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME?!" The whole room is tense. I start with AQ of hearts and this guy gets 99 like phil ****in hellmuth about to beat my ass headsup for a bracelet.

I deal out the flop, 9-10-J two hearts. I feel just sick to my stomach. I put the deck down and set up lines for whoever wants one, and a nice little iceberg for myself. I do it, and honestly just can't deal the cards. I ask someone to deal it, and no one wants to deal it. Jack, nope. Josh, nope. The girl who was dealing earlier, nope. No one wanted to crush my soul.

We sit around forever, before the girl with the heart tank top steps up. Omgggg, at this point I'm sweating and I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack. It's like the universe is just ****ing with me. I switched to hearts because of her shirt and now she wants to deal. My heart is beating out of my chest from half blow, half straight up adrenaline. I hate this feeling so much, yet I get myself into this situation all of the time it seems.

She burns and turns a K. BINK!!! I hit my straight. My heart starts beating even faster. No board pair, no board pair. River is a heart. BOOOOOOOOM! I'm freaking out, cheering, high fiving everyone, ****in ecstaaaatic. I make the joke I have a straight flush cause I hit the straight and flush. I spill blow everywhere, before sitting back down. Josh then pipes up and says wait, you didn't burn before the river.

Bull****. There's no ****ing way. There's two cards in the burn pile. She didn't burn. My heart sank to my feet, and I was just caught with this overwhelming dread. I felt like I was in a bull**** James Bond hand, and they forgot to burn... only to re-deal it and the villain hits their magic card.

Everyone stands around as the river is placed into the burn pile, and she deals a new river card. She deals the river, and it's another brick.

VAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I won the $10k flip and knew phil gordon would be proud. I used to delude myself into thinking I could become some sort of live poker pro and keep all my vices in check, but thats a pipe dream. I went to my first meeting last night. It is an AA/GA mix. I don't think it was for me, it was too preachy and religion oriented.

I'll post the rest of this story tomorrow with some pics, it's where it all ties together. This was just the degen poker part, the rest is all the fun.

A+ any more that was good....

wonder if Snipes has fallen off the degen wagon yet..... Give us an update Snipes!

This was so sexy, I totally feel you!

I had 1 too many swings since I won that 150k which I am not happy about. Just got back from Vegas will do TR soon am very tired. I am alive and kicking and have found peace.

*** it let me do it now.

I won 150k. I spent 50k alone on the car. Paid the 3 year lease up front. Love it.

Spent another 5k helping my parents get some furniture. Blew another 10k on APple products alone. Other misc shopping like high end useless **** like DnG hoodies lmao and donating to charity etc etc I have blown over 80k.

I still ended up in Vegas at100k after all that ****. One thing I'm not happy about is even though I cut down the gambling a lot..I had a lot of days where I punted 10-20k on dumb bets. I chased them all back with success because my bankroll was big and also cz I got lucky. I just enver took a ****ing break because I am a degen.

Anyways I ended up in Vegas close to 100k after winning another 25k parlay to recover some losses. I am loving life. We get to the cosmo and I am feeling so zen I don't even want to ****ing play. **** it. It's all -EV anyways let me just enjoy my life and spend time with my GF. We go to the Aria first night..I let her play roulette. She doesn't even know how much she's betting cz the chips r colored. She's up over 600 betting numbers. Ends up losing 90% of it and goes " i think i have lost my winnings let's go". She ends up +75. I decide to sit on BJ. I hit n Run a table and make $800. Ship.

Send her to spa next day even though it's overpriced AF. She goes and enjoys. I still hold back on tables. We go out again and I end up winning another $500 at cosmo BJ.

All the BJ sessions thus far (15min max) were with her by my side and I am up. Then I go to Aria again to eat at Carbone. ****ing Resto doesn't open till 5pm so we have 15min left. GF says let's go casino. In my degen head I already knew these 15min were going to cost me money. I lost $3k in front of her in like 7min. This was $ I took for shopping so I had it all on me. She was a little terrified I guess she hasn't seen that side of me. I told her..babe don't worry this was nothing. She says ok. We go eat.

I have a great dinner. I end up drinking too much. Come back to room I roll a spliff and smoke it. Down about 2k on the trip no biggie. Chillin on the balcony and smoking my hookah. All of a sudden I get fkn dizzy. Not sure why. I smoke a lot of weed..tobacco and I can drink pretty good too. I go on the bed and I tell her I'm ****ed please let me close my eyes and rest. She says no problem...gets me water from downstairs and some advil. I PTFO for 2 hrs. I wake up and I feel brand new. She was patiently waiting for me to wake up.

I wake up and she goes what's the plan! I'm like let's go walk around and go see a couple more Hotels and then grab a nice dinner again so get ready. She starts putting on a dress and it's Sat night so I tell her babe I am going to go place a bet at the sportsbook for tomorrow I'll be back in 5min. I've never placed a bet at a book in Vegas so I was doing it for the novelty.

I ran out of cash so I took a cash advance of 2k from the ATM. I'm going towards the book and I decide to sit on the table. 2 min later I am at 0. OK np..down 4kish on the trip, ket's get another advance and place parlay.

Get another 2k. Same story. ANother 2k same story. Another 4k same story. Another 4k same story. Another 5k same story..and so on until I am stuck about 25k.

I get another 4k and I sit at the table. I open with 2k hands and in no time I am at ****ing 25k which is even for hte trip. An hour has passed now. Not because I was playing so much.. I was barely playing because each hand was usually 50% of my BR. The cash ****ing advances were taking forever. Go to ATM..pay $144 for a fkn cash advance..take to cashier..wait for approval etc etc. I did this like 15x all while my gf is waiting for me. I told her 5 MINUTEs. 10 MAX. IT's been an hour and I am dodging all calls and texts.

Anyways time to go I am at 25k. Will apologize to her and buy her something ncie. She deservers it. Nope. Decide to bet $5k a hand. 3 spots.

20 11 11 dealer shows a 5. LOL. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I was almost thinking..man why double let's just hit them and walk away with a nice win. Obv I Doubled.

20 21 19. Dealer shows 10 behind 5. Ace. 5. 21.

Dead. 5k left. Bet it on next hand. Dealer BJ.


AFter this I lost another 15k between sports and tables. -40k on the trip. I would say I played total BJ of about 1hr the entire trip MAX. Lost it all that quick. DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TO GET THE ****ING COMP CARD AT THE CASINo. DID NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING. DIDN'T HAVE A SINGLE DRINK. NO I DO NOT WANT A MASSAGE WHY WOULD I WANT A MASSAGE LMAO IM LOSING LIKE 5k A HAND. DIDN'T EVEN GO SIT IN THE HIGH ROLLER ROOM. DID THIS ALL ON MAIN FLOOR. WENT UPSTAIRS AND GF GAVE ME THE SILENT TREATMENT. I FELT LIKE ****. LOL MAN SO DEGEN. Vegas got the fkn best of me i tell u. But I went to bed..woke up next day had 2 days of Vegas left. Did not gamble a cent. IT was in the morning while smoking my hookah I finally felt ****ing peace after I won all that $. My life changed. I went from -250 to having $. Nothing can change that. I love my car. I love my life. How much do I have left? $60k after spending about 80? Wow. Looks like i'm about even after a month of sportsbetting that was up and down and after getting raped up the ass in Vegas. I haven't gambled since that BJ session.

Anyways that's where I'm at now. Still a degen..trying to be better. Tired or I would've wrote the **** out of this.

You are my hero

damn snipes vegas did you dirty. know the feeling.. gotta keep going tho keep the grind on the mind

Snipes you know it ALWAYS HAPPENS only get lucky so many time until it bites you on the arse

You are like me cant bet small as it is a bore.

We need go gamble free as we know the peace and pride feel when we do

We also know the bad mood and pain that affects us and are close ones

not saying give up as it like saying dont breath were going do it

I would live stop betting but think the odds of me doing it are about 80-1 and 1-2 i bet till i die.....

I just lost 21 BI's in PLO with no semblance of an upswing. I lost 21 straight buy ins, and my biggest pot won was 120bb. On absolute ****ing rage monkey tilt I reg a $100 hyper... come in third.

I cant even type this ****ing **** up, I played 12 hypers and came in third in 6 of them with no cashes, I was so ****ing pissed I shoved all in every hand in my $109 tourney til I busted

I threw my ****ing mouse at my monitor and broke that, it was a $400 curved monitor too

Im banned from every site imaginable, I was playing on my girlfriends account AWFIDEJOSDJAsAFKDJDSKLGJFSGOLDBODB;OSZDAadq

Your stories are the best Snipes!

Best part of the story IMO.

you got any money left?

I bet losing all that BTC you mentioned a few stories ago really stings now that its @ 16k

Lol, it's the opposite. Bitcoin going up is awesome for me. This recent insaaane surge has way more than erased those gambling losses. I sold two bitcoins for $23,200 each when it hit just over $17k USD. My friend and his uncle who are getting into it couldn't buy it fast enough on exchanges etc. I made a little juice, and am using the money to go to Mexico for a month. Escape the December weather here up north, and get to see my brother and his wife.

It's 5:24 AM and I finished playing in that poker game three hours ago. +$7,400. I won a 5-way $500 flip at the end. We all got 10 cards and went in a circle flipping up one at a time.

I spent it all on gifts for people, including an $800 pair of shoes for myself because I'm a loser like that.

I'm gonna be drunk in mexico for a month and on the way back to Canada my girlfriend are spending a week in Vegas. She's been twice already, and I have never been. I'm bringing bringing $28,000 USD on my trip that I have already exchanged.

Won't post here til I'm back. **** my posts are embarrassing.

Degen story with a happy ending.

I wanted some bitcoin but didn't really want to invest my own money in case it tanks. I decided I would bet NFL. I deposit 160 and bet Giants and Browns to lose in a Parlay. This was the week the Giants were playing the Cheifs. I was dumb and hadn't realized the Cheifs are a fraud and suck ass. Needless to say the Giants come through in overtime. I was ****ing pissed. At the time it was their second win of the season. I deposit again for maybe 120. I do another parlay Vikings, New England, San Fran and Raiders. This is the week Garappalo started so I figure they will win. They barely squeek by and Raiders win in overtime. I actually got off work to check the Raiders at end of my shift. There was a glitch on my phone so it said the Raiders and Giants tied 17-17 I was deflated. Then I refreshed and saw they won I was so ****ing happy. Now my roll is 500. I see the celtics are playing the Bucks and figure they are a lock. I parlay Celtics and Cavs and they both win pretty easily. If they lost I was completely ****ed. I have 1100 then do some roulette and get it up to 1300. I do another Parley, Cavs over Kings, Pacers over Bulls and Celtics over Dallas. I notice Golden State is priced at -200 so I throw rest down on them. Celtics do alright so I check my phone at halftime, Cavs and Pacers are both down by ten IM ****ED. Celtics continue to do good and I sweat other games. Near end I notice Cleveland has taken lead and Pacers tied! HOLY **** Pacers win by a score. I did it HOLY ****. Celtics end up winning and Warriors cruise to victory. My roll is like 1900 so I put it on roulette and get it up to 2100. I cash it out to bitcoin and so happy. No more betting on ****ty NFL.

I am sure the site I was betting on couldn't believe I cashed out. They must be pissed.

LASt weeLASt week wanted back seahawks against ealgles moneyline as they were better then 2/1 so have find new site as i have set a cool down on betfairload up bookies first one see is racebets

Lost driveing lience and dont have passport

Any now if that work? or have wait and pay passport or d.Leince????

I ran above +EV in roulette last week. Martingaled black until I won, bet single zero. I repeat this process for 5 min then I binked for like 300. Played some blackjack and got pissed off cause I lost it. Took my last 500 to roulette and ended up putting it all on black and binked again. Whenever I bink though I immediately close the window. Finally said **** it and cashed out. Im not degen enough to keep roulleting when I bink.

Posted here a few months ago about how i started from a 100 euros deposit to built it to 7k playing BJ, only to cancel the withdraw and burnt all the profit in less than an hour.

I quitted BJ from this moment but you know when you're a degen you are always back at it.

So i deposited 50 euros yesterday while at work, i built it to 200 ish, felt pretty happy about my win as i was on a bad losing streak but only to crash again and down to my last 6 euros.

I was on monkey tilt and went all in every hand and binked them all to climb back to 200 e, decided to play slots, which i usually never do and binked a 1100 e jackpot on the game scrolls of ra.

I was finally rolled to try an epic run at BJ and succeded to climb to 5300e in less than an hour, this time i withdrew and have my mate change my password until the processing, i have left 300 to try to run it up again once my cashout is there, i let you guys know.

TL, dr 50 euros to 6 euros to 5300 euros,playing BJ while at work.

cheers

in before your mate logs in and degens it off himself

Most sites have something called "lost password?" when you login. I suggest trying that to get that money back online.

You know the degen in me better than i do. I actually reset my password hours before the cashout was cleared, succeded to degen it off in the afternoon, playing one hundred 3 spot BJ.

I was on that huge massive tilt on the way back home from work, just so frustrating.

But the story still continues and like Urubu i never give up.

Started to deposit again last night while drunk, depositing 100 e a go, trying to run it up fast, i ran like pure **** and degened off 23 deposit for a total amount of 2400 euros.

Well my 24 th deposit was the one, ran my 100e to 10 k all night long not sleeping and wasted till 10 in the morning, mostly BJ and again ridiculous Scroll of Ra binks.

So i'm up 7.5 k total now, any idea how to keep these winnings? I won but i have this weird tilt feeling now.

Chances are since it’s been about a day since you made that post it’s already into the degen abyss of tilted blackjack and roulette bets.

Remember how I said I cashed out? well I put the money back in and degened it all off on roulette. I degened like 1500 on roulette betting black and it came red every time. The degen gods were on my side tho and I won a huge sports bet betting last of my roll on the ****ty ass suns. So now my roll is back at 2k lmao. I have been really fortunate lately with my degen bets.
