Go for it no gamble no future.

We need snipes to update this legendary thread !

sad

Ok, so this story definitely doesn't live up to degen stories here, but no one has been posting lately so I figure I would throw mine out there.

A few years back, I finally started a poker graph. Right at the beginning of the year. Played mostly $2/5nl and a really deep $1/2nl game. Only played twice a week as it is just a side job/hobby. Would always bring between $1k and $1.5k with me depending on the game I was playing. After about 5 months I was a little over $9k profit and was excited to hit the 5 figure mark for the year. Had about 8 sessions where I won/loss back and forth. Then finally won 3 sessions in a row and crossed my mark up about $10,500 on the year. I then went on probably my worst downswing ever. Lost 7 of 8 sessions and profit on the year was down to just a little over $6,000. I was so pissed off, I just wanted to take a break for a few months. A home game was going on though that I really wanted to play and figured ok, one more shot and I won't bring much so I won't be enraged with myself if I lose. Just brought $500 with me. Was doing pretty well for the night up a few hundred after a couple of hours of play. I can't even remember the hand, but hit a bad cooler hand and lost half my stack. Ended up blowing the rest on tilt. Was so pissed at myself when I left, I said, "F**K it, I am done, and I am getting that damn money back. While up til then, I have never made a sports bet over $50, I decided to deposit $950 on bovada and put it all on the under of the Bears game the next day. Under was 48. Total was 43 with 8 seconds left in the game and the Bears let their opponents make like a 20 yard run to a touchdown cause they didn't care since they were up 10 points. In over 14 years of playing poker, it was the 1st time I went over a month without playing.

Went back to the game about 3 months later.

So your "degen story" is just you bragging about how you won some money?

read the last page of this thread, after being away about 5 years. this **** is weak as fukk. can someone please help this thread?

I went to the casino about 3 weeks ago:
I played for 2 days at the $100 table and was even.
I wasn't satisfied with that so I went to the $300 (minimum) table and bought in for $4,000. First hand I won, then proceeded to go 4-20 for a total loss of $4,500 in about 15 minutes. As I was losing my last hand the waitress showed up with my drink......

hopefully this helps.

backtrack a year ago, and i start playing poker again after quitting playing professionally about 6 years prior, just as a hobby to make a little side income. i had a good ass paying job with great benefits, but the itch was back. i went on some wild swings on these new apps which was a totally new concept to me. my wife wasn't thrilled about it, but after a couple winning sessions and making some upgrades to our house, she was warming up to the idea.

FF to august, and she shows me a pregnancy test, and bling blang blaow, we're expecting our first child. a month later we are visiting my family out of state and give them the news. everyone is thrilled as its the first grandchildren for my mom and dad. we go back to the hotel room and my wife goes into cardiac arrest and passes away literally in my arms.

so when your spouse passes away, theres a mountain of **** to deal with that you aren't even in a coherent mindset to think about, but you have to do anyway. so it took me 2 months but i was able to get our house listed and sold, which left me with a nice little nest egg of 70k.

the first thing i did was pay off both of our vehicles, which was only about 10k. then i decided i was going to relive my glory days of playing poker and winning 10-20k per month, ez life right? well that didn't go so well. i lost roughly 50k and essentially squandered away the entire financial future that my wife and i spent almost a decade contributing towards in the span of 45 days.

thankfully ive ran a bit better and exercised a bit more BRM and have made back 10k of the 50k i lost but its been eye opening how much of a piece of **** i am and how quickly i can set a big stack of money on fire.

jesus man, i'm sorry for your loss, probably best to wait and let everything emotionally process before playing more

at this point, i was madly cheering. until the next sentence. this isnt degen, its just really heartbreaking. 50k is nothing next to your loss. plus the child, wow. hopefully you still have that good just, so just keep plugging along.

GTFOOH with that, 2nl, wtf?

My condolences, Shaqalicious.

First: no matter how much of a POS you think you are..nobody deserves the hand you been dealt, no pun intended. My condolences. Not sure how you even had the strength to type that up.

Second..I hope you pay more close attention to yourself and your well being rather than that 40k hole that seems so daunting. All the best my dude.

This is pretty sick. Skip to 7:09

lol sick indeed

these guys are funny money streamers man, they arent playing with their money they are sponsored non sense. You all are ruining what was the most epic thread all time.

The guy literally displays his deal with Roobet on his steam and is not pretending it's all his money.

that's gotta be so depressing faking excitement like that

was really thrown off when they were thanking someone for a $5 donation right after the win too

I think most keep X % so some of it is genuine but I completely agree. Then again creating 'hype' and selling the excitement is kind of the way of twitch slots/poker.

Backpack Steve has cleaned up in FL. Don't see that transition too often.
