Don’t worry. There’s tons of top level degeneracy that occurred the past 5+ years that are unaccounted for and I will slowly roll out in due time. Unfortunately we know the true ending but I don’t think that will make the stories any less ridiculous.

Would love to risk it all and bail out but the point is - even if that occurs I now understand I will just go right back in the hole. It is a lifelong disease. There will always be a bailout needed.

As for job - good career. Commodity Sales. Perfect for my situation.

Welcome back brother. I am happy that you found your purpose in life. Sometimes we just ****ed it up ourselves. Forget the experience and learn the lessons.

plo degen goes down to vegas with 15k or so and loses all his money. calls my buddy up and asks to send him 5k so he can get a next day flight home and play in the meantime. next day comes along and he hasn't come back. my buddy calls him and he picks up, "yooo man sorry. I'm in this sick game and got about 50k in front. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Next day, my buddy gets a text "I'll come home this time."

Chapter 1: Getting to know the basics

8 years ago a young sprite woke up in the morning and stepped outside. He took a deep breath and got real high. He screamed to the top of his lungs "What's goin' on?" Much to his surprise a black Cadillac in the neighborhood slowed down and pulled up right in front of him. He couldn't see inside the tinted windows and then the driver window rolled down. A ghastly old man sat inside. He kind of looked like Jack Nicholson and told the 18 year old kid "Hey Sonny, I'm Wild Bill. I'm going down to a poker game. Care to join me?". The young lad responded "I've never played poker before. I've only seen the World Series of Poker on television. I'm only 18". Wild Bill retorted "Well you are old enough to play kiddo. I'll teach ya on the way. What's your name?". The kid nervously responded "Bartholomew". Bill smiled and said "Okay Bart. Hop in, we're gonna make a boat load of money together". Bart was intrigued. He worked as a grocery bagger at the local supermarket. He never even had more than a thousand dollars to his name. Let alone millions. He hopped in the passenger seat of the caddy and they were on their way.

And so Bill told Bart all the basics on how to play poker and make money at it. He told him that he has been a professional for 39 years. He said that he had made millions from the game. Bart told him he only had 20 bucks on him. And asked if it was enough. Bill laughed and said "Bucko, I'm going to stake you. Staking is a business deal between poker players. I'll give you money to play, and you get to keep a certain percent of the profits. Today I'm going to give you $2000. Which is 2 buyins in the 5/10 no-limit holdem game we'll be playing today. You get to keep 20% of all the profits you make today. If you lose, well we'll get to that later but since it's your first time. You've got beginner's luck and nothing to worry about". Bill handed over $2000 to Bart and said "Don't think of doing anything silly kid. Put that money in your crotch so no one can try to steal it from you." Bart obeyed Bill's orders and stuck it whitey tighties.

They arrived to this bar around 2PM. Bart nervously asked Bill "The game is in here? Is this area safe?" Bill said "Barty, don't worry about it. There's never been a problem here with Wild Bill around." So they walked in and Bill told the bartender to unlock the door to the back room for him. They walk in and see a gambler's paradise. They had 2 tables of blackjack going, a table of craps, roulette, and 3 poker tables. A floorman walked up to them and shook bills hand saying "Hey Bill, long time no see. How you been?" Bill said "Hey Lonny. Not bad for a fat old man. This here is Bart. He's my nephew and he wants to play some 5/10 Holdem with me today. Is that okay?" Lonny laughed and said "Of course, anything for you buddy".

So they each took a seat at the 5/10 table and Bill called out "Chips!". Bill handed the chip runner 1k and then the runner walked up to Bart and asked how much he wanted. Bart just remembered his money was still in his underwear. He blushed and stood up, turned around, reached in his underwear pulled out the money and handed the man 1k. The table bursted out with laughter. The runner gave him a disgusted look and took the money. He returned with chips and the game resumed.

The very first hand Bart grabbed his cards and put them right up to his face. He looked at a J4. The table announced it was his turn to act. Bart mumbled "What do I do? What are my options?" One player named Paul who had some yellowed teeth and smelled like body odor mixed with an unwiped arse said "Quack quack, you trying to hustle us kid? Quack quack". Bart was taken aback and he said "No I'm not. This is honestly my first time playing and I have no clue how to play". Bill put his palm on his forehead and shook his head. Paul snickered and said "Well then you should probably raise. But you can call or fold too". The dealer announced it was $35 to call. Bart grabs a substantial amount of green chips and throws them in the middle. They go flying and rolling all over the place. After a few minutes the dealer managed to organize all the chips together and announced his raise was to $325. Bill had a menacing look on his face. A look that said "Do you remember anything I f****** told you?".

So it was back onto the initial raiser and he elected to call. The flop rolled out 44jack. The initial raiser said I'm putting you all in. He had at least 4k back. Bart was flustered. He had no clue as to the strength of his hand. He took a double look at his cards and saw all of his cards matched the board. The remembered a poker movie he once saw and said "Well I'll see that raise" then he reached in his underwear and pulled out the rest of his money "and I'll raise you another $1000". The table was in an uproar. "YOU CANT RAISE MONEY OFF THE TABLE ITS TABLE LIMITS KID!" shouted Paul. The initial raiser responded "Guys, guys, settle down its ok. I'll allow it. I call your bet kid. Let's see what you got". Bart nervously flipped over his cards. His opponent stood up and slowly walked behind Bart. This man was huge. He was like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of poker. He grabbed Bart by the sides and lifted him up like he weighed nothing. Bart is about 5'11", 180 pounds. He threw Bart against the wall and said "YOU CHEATER! I KNOW YOU'RE CHEATING AND YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY! I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS LITTLE BITCH!" Wild Bill tapped the mammoth on the shoulder. He turned his head while leaving right hand clenching Bart's neck "WHAT DO YOU WANT BILL? THIS IS YOUR NEPHEW? YOU BROUGHT A CHEAT IN HERE?". Bill calmly said "No Arnold, he's not cheating. It's honestly his first time ever playing. He just raised it to $325 preflop with jack 4 off. The dealer has been dealing here for years there is no way he cheated." Arnold slowly turned his head back to Bart gritting his teeth "You're lucky I respect Bill kid. Or I would rip you a new @$$hole". He released his suffocating clench around Bart's neck and he gasped for air while collapsing onto the floor. The game resumed while Bart tried to recover from being strangled. A few minutes later he came back to the table and looked down at his new stack of chips. It was only $3000. Arnold smiled at Bart and said "Table limits Bart". Bart kind of had an idea of how he should have $4000 instead of $3000. But he kept his mouth shut in fear of getting killed. At least he won the pot even though he never got to find out what Arnold had.

End of part one.
I can't believe that was written 10 years ago with Robbi's exact hand LMAO! Life really is stranger than fiction.

And yes before you ask, I'm reading every page one by one and I'm half way through lol.

I am down almost 20k in the last 1,5 years because of crazy tilting while losing some stacks on my regular stakes which is like .25/5$ average NLHE online and proceeding to play midstakes 5 or 6-card PLO or midstakes 6-max Cash or HU against players who are better than me.

think i lost an average of 1k$ in every single of those tilt sessions which usually last <30 minutes.


always played absolutely terrible just punting it off because i always played that high when i already completely lost control and subconsciously just wanted to lose because i wanted to feel miserable about myself.

The feelings after those tilt punts and shots were always horrible, i ended up looking in the mirror devastated and asking myself wtf is wrong with me that i keep doing this ****. been angry, sad and in doubt for several days everytime.

it basically keeps happening and i cant seem to make it stop. the amount i punted off total is about what i posess total right now.


oh and i lost around 2k$ at slots which is almost even more embarrasing.

I accidentally “invest “ in bitcoins, it was around 2016 I wanted to deposit into online poker, so I swapped 3k cash for bitcoins with a friend. Price was like 600ish during that time . I don’t rmr exactly why I didn’t deposit into the site, I just know had some serious things to deal with.

I then got into a lot of debt problems owing in the low 5 figures, so yeah those bitcoins kinda just erased from my memory , funny thing is down the years I saw some ig posts about crypto nft etc but have 0 memory about my bitcoins.

It was until last year when I met the guy that sends me the btc, he then brought up that one time we swap btcs. I went searching and found it alas, it was value at 185k.

I then started gambling annd btcs spike, my net worth peaked at 400k weeks after the Super Bowl. Now it’s at less than 100k .. gonna run it back up when mlb season starts.

I don't remember this, but it is a huge, old thread after all. Anyway, it'd be nice if everyone used the thread as it was intended (i.e. for degen stories). So we would like to limit the clutter somewhat. That said, I won't be deleting screenshots of sports bets if they are part of a good story - unless someone will point out to me or the other mods that these posts are violating a rule.

One time Dougie Ouija - a - vicci from the shitter at my home game

Ouija is to straddle and place a lucky Ouija card protector over your hand and not look at your hand until someone makes an aggressive move and to just blind bet every street.

One-of-eachi pronounced one-a-vicci is to bet one of each denomination chip

I believe this scenario was small stakes 25/50 blinds so technically only a $6.25 straddle but worthy of a degen story post in my opinion.

Kavita Fisher : Again, one of those times where I said, "This is it," my final, I put in $750 because at that point it wasn't 20 or 30 bucks. I was up to putting in 750 or 1,000 whenever I played. And that $750 over the course of one or two days, somehow I turned it into $480,000.

Kate Linebaugh: Wow. $480,000?

Kavita Fisher : Yep. That would've paid back my second mortgage, all my loans, my retirement loan, and I would've had some leftover to stock my savings account back up. But guess what happened?

Kate Linebaugh: You kept going.

Kavita Fisher : Yeah. Once you get that far, you think, "Oh, maybe I can turn that half a million into a million and retire easily or do something, open up a side business like a coffee shop.' Like the thoughts that came into my mind, or take my relatives on vacation or my friends on vacation. And I kept going.

Some epic **** here in this thread overall , but not much lately. My first post here ever ... see how it goes ... I've played poker online back during the boom and live cash games in AC since Borgata opened and even a few times in the Taj back in the day ... losing player overall but never to the point of anything completely degenerate , my bills paid , life in order , do some occasional sports betting ... have some interesting stories from AC back in the day ... but this story of degeneracy takes place in late January 2020.... The time just after Trump blew up the Iranian General and right before Covid ****ed up the world within a matter of weeks .... Here goes : I'm out in NJ. At my then girlfriends place for the weekend. Shes a very pretty Latina from Central America. Pretty face , curvy in all the right places ... I once almost got into a fight with a guy at Borgata in the poker room who said she should come sit on his lap when she was watching me play 2/5 NL ... I got in his face verbally , he shut up , and it didn't escalate ... So that weekend to be at her place my cover story for my wife was that I'd be ... "Playing poker at Borgata." ... I'm really busy with GF all day that Saturday , going out drinking , having fun outside. We get back to her place and I'm not completely ****ed up , but close , and sex isn't going to be an option for a few hours ... at least ... She has something to eat , goes to bed , tells me to come get some sleep. I grab the half liter of Grey Goose that I bought earlier and we have left , some OJ , make a drink , tell her I have to take a **** first , then go into her bathroom with my drink and my cellphone. Sit on the bowl , until my legs get numb and can't **** ... but I put $300 onto Pokerstars. Don't feel like grinding , so gonna be lazy and play live dealer roulette. Strategy is to make $1 bets on 20 numbers per spin , same numbers , so every hit will bring me a small profit and every miss doesn't risk much. I got half the numbers covered , plus 1.... If I can double my money or even better , hit 1k I'll be happy ... I sit on that ****ing toilet for an hour and a half with my strategy and nurse that drink ... By the time I got to get up to let the blood flow back into my legs and fix another drink I have about $700 or so... Leave bathroom and after nursing a drink for an hour and a half I make up for lost time drinking 3 drinks in about the next 15 to minutes... I'm increasing the size of my bets to $2 , $3 , sometimes $5 all on the 20 numbers. By the time the alcohol gets me to the point of talking to myself , God , my phone , the croupier who can't hear me , I have about $2700 or so. Just for fun I place 100 chips on a few numbers I like then double it , then triple it to 300 a number with the whole 2700 there in one shot. Even drunk I realize thats ****ing stupid and I start removing the bets. I'm so ****ed up I forgot or didn't see that you can just click a button and wipe the board clean. I start manually removing the bets off the numbers but I leave 1 $300 bet on a single number behind , and don't even realize it. Next thing I see , I have over $13k ... or is it 1.3k ... did I lose/win? If I won how ... then I see what happened ... the number hit! No ****ing way! I have another drink to celebrate. Bottles almost empty.... I play some more , run it up to just over 15k ... Now I realize it's time to stop ****ing around and stop. 15k from 300 bucks ... I can use that money ... BUT , NEVER stop when you are hitting numbers , play until you miss one. So now I'm betting about 1k a spin , and I lose next spin. Ok , got 14k or so , stop ... but no .... another spin ... loss. Now 13k ... another loss. 12k ... I swear to myself I'm stopping at 10k. Of course like every degenerate I'm not happy to be up what Im up , I'm more fixated on the money I just blew back.... I don't hit another ****ing number until I'm down to about 3k. I get it back to 5k , again betting big , not the $20 bullshit , back down to 3k , then bet it all on Red to try and double it at least back to 6k ... I'm physically sweating at this point and I can feel a look on my face like I'm about to take the Dead Mans Walk into the death chamber ... Black comes up ... I'm at 0... I'm sick ... only technically lost 300 but was at about 15k at one point which I could have transfered to my bank account with a few clicks and had real cash in my hand in a day , or a few days , later.... I just want to leave and go home but I'm too ****ed up to drive ... I go to bed , don't say a word to GF about what happened.... In the morning I eat breakfast with her then cut out saying I'm sick. She's not pissed but I can tell shes upset we didnt spend Sunday together as planned .... She has no idea what happened ... No sex that weekend , I got a hangover , I'm replaying what happened in my mind over and over ... Get back to Brooklyn , look for parking forever , get home ... Wife wants to know what happened ... I tell her the bad news is I didn't win anything , but the good news is I only lost around $500 ($300 plus tolls , drinks on Saturday , etc) ... So she aks how the **** I went to AC Friday night , came home Sunday afternoon , and in all that time I didn't make ANY money when I'm supposed to be so "good at poker" (sarcastically) ... "Well..." , I answer , "At one point I was up about $700 bucks and I was grinding , but I lost the $700 slowly over time then lost the other $500 when I had my pocket Kings cracked by some dickhead who went all in with an Ace Duece and hit his ****ing Ace on the Flop." I then curse out this fictional donk , curse my shitty luck ... get the cold shoulder the rest of the day and go to work Monday still thinking about what happened , and to this very day that loss has left a permanent hole not just in my heart , but in my soul.
