Uhhh 81-90 straight flips really? Well losing 81 straight is a 1 in 2417851639229258349412352 shot...somehow I find this hard to believe..?

he didn't lose 81 straight...wtf

obv its 50/ 50 that you can lose 81 flips in a row.

Reading some of these stories makes me never want to take shots again.

entertaining but pretty depressing

I used to meet a friend in vegas a few times a year he was a MAJOR degen. He would check into bellagio on a thursday and get a safety deposit box. If he was staying through the weekend he would put about 2/3 of his cash ( about 40k usually) in the box. He would then place his ID in the box. He would then go to the concierge desk where they would have an next day air envelope waiting for him. He would drop the safety dep box key in the envelope, which was already filled out, and mail it away.

Do you know where he would mail it to ? The Bellagio!! This assured him he could not blow his entire roll the first night. The next morning his fed ex would arrive and he would have access to cash again. He did the same thing on friday. The only day he was screwed was saturday because he could not get a next day air shipped for sunday delivery.

waiting for a ban from pokerstars. had my chat banned the other day for a month like 4th time, and now since i can't rant in chat, i sent like 15 emails full of profanity and child like stories how everything is bullschitt and conspiracy and whatnot. i bet they have a staff meeting right now, discussing, what are we gonna do with this ******, he just berates and rants, and doenst even rake that much...BAN!!!

well f u too.

how's that for a degen story?

Are you one of 'them'? (the ones who claim poker is rigged and continue to play)

About a month after turning 19 (legal age in Canada) I wanted to go to the casino one night to play some blackjack. All my friends were with their gf's so I had no way to get there since I didn't have my drivers license. The casino is about 45 km (28 miles) away in a town called Gananoque. It's normally about a 25 minute drive on the highway for us to get there.

I borrowed a bike from my mom's bf and biked the entire way there, listening to Eminem and DMX on my iPod. Almost the whole way was slightly uphill, then there would be a massive downwards hill, then like another 2 miles of slightly uphill. The ride took somewhere between 6-7 hours and by the time I got there I was so tired I instantly spent $60 on a motel room, then went to the casino, blew all of my $250 in about 20 minutes, then went back to the motel and smoked a pack of cigarettes on the bed. I woke up the next morning and couldn't walk. Had to call my mom to come pick me up.

Just reread your post and where on the first time I read or understood that your friends where there with their gf's (at the casino), now I understood the ultimate degeneracy..you went alone to the casino, on a bike. ehheeh

Ok this is probably the worst poker poker related degen I experienced. After work I decided to go to the casino hopping to win the 100£ buy in turni to pay the 2 months outstanding rent and just live normally for the rest of the month. At that time I had about 350 £ to my name and it was the 8th of the month (I get payed on the 1st and London is an expensive city). I sit down with this jerk and decided to put on the aggression early. Some wiz-kid (young, skinny, jelled hair and wearing sun glasses GRRRRRRRRR)to my left called my flush draw conti bets on every street including the river bluff. Tilted my like crazy since everybody was telling the guy that he made a sick call, well played bla bla bla.

I just have enough money for my train ticket home at this point. So i get home: no food in the fridge, no drink apart from tap-water and 1 cig left. I remember that I had about 80 $ on stars so I start a six max 0.25/0.50. Win a couple of flips and up to 250$. Life is better and Im about to go to bed, when one of the major donks challenges me to hu. I eagerly agree. This guy was bad, i mean real bad (calling 2/3 of his stack with A2 pre. we both started with 50. After loosing the first pot (suckout cant remember) I reload and the tilt starts creeping in. To make it worse after every hand the guy tells me Im a donk and suck at poker, just insults me, my mom etc. After loosing my second buy in he start s going crazy in the chat and to make it worse on of his friends is watching and telling me that im horrible..bla bla bla.
Now - Im down to my last 60 $ he stars playing tight (very tilting). I get stacked again. At this point im on AGGRO TILT. Face red, bloodpressure high. My nose started bleeding and I was may too tilted and furious to do anything about it so I kept playing with a heavily bleeding nose. (I get that a lot due to air pressure or something). Now my t shirt, my laptop, the floor and my face are full of blood. Im down to my last 10$ while the super donk got my whole role GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Covered in blood and broke I go all in with KK he snap calls with AA, wins, says he is buying his girlfriend new shoes and insta quits. Completely in rage not thinking straight I start smashing my mouse and my lap top with my fist, and hinting it violently on the floor while screaming insults. Now my hand stars bleeding from hitting the laptop. Feeling like **** and covered in blood, I take a shower and go to bed. That day was horrible.

How long ago was this

LOL, stars don't ban as easily as you'd think. after 20+ emails today, they said they created a filter to automatically delete all my emails, LOL INDEED, but i busted them, i sent a few mores later on and they responded quite fast too, so NICE TRY STARS, NOW GET ME MY CHAT BACK!

I sent ONE e-mail like that ONCE and got a phone call 10 minutes later from a Stars CS supervisor questioning my desire to continue playing on their site.

I grovelled.

Wanted to contribute to the thread.. but without any really good stories, perhaps i can contribute a story by proxy...

Saw that 'Owning Mahowny' mentioned above about degen movies, but I dont think I've heard anyone mention 'Lucky Girl' aka 'My Daughters Secret Life', about a degen HS girl (an early elisha cuthbert).. I think it was a made for TV movie that was only released in Canada, but its a decent film and good degen story

enjoy!

dunno if i can remember most of mine because they have involved insane amounts of alcohol and drugs.

Thanksgiving weekend few years ago (canaaada) im working for like 40-50K/year and im losing/winning 1k a night playing PLO100-200 hu. I worked at a shipping store and essentially had to wait for students to ship stuff, other than that i would just jerk off to porn with the cash drawer open so no one could see over the table from outside. I have like 5k in my full tilt account and im playing at work. Series of bad beats cause me to quickly jump up limits, im playing 25/50 w/ 3K. A8J4 in 3 bet pot, 848 board get it in vs KK82... 6k pot. A chick walk in the door and wants to ship something.... 5 turn.... she asks how much it is.... K river.... i kick a box. She wanted to ship a DVD to the US i told her its 60$ cause its not documents and she has to use a package and not an envelope as we have to declare the DVD to customs.... she starts crying at the 20$ difference between shipping a envelope and a package and calls her mom to complain. I wanted to shove her obama sticker down her throat.

I went home that night to find my roommate in my room room in his boxers surrounded by empty diet pepsi cans... probably about 20. He is telling me of the soft games on full tilt poker. He says there are alot of fish in the 50/100 limit omaha h/l game this evening. Im not completely sure on the rules of omaha h/l but i know the rules on losing money, im good at it. We use his howard lederer approved deposit upgraded account to depo 2K in about 25mins and proceed to play and lost like 6 hands and see 0$. Btw this is a true story and i wish i still had the video but i noticed my roommate started to "scratch and sniff" as i called it once he began grinding for more than a few hours... essentially the dude would scratch/pick his ass and then try and discretely smell his fingers. Odd. Anyways now im down like alot of monies for today, which is now tomorrow. Now its thanksgiving and my roommate is off to see his family and mine is waiting. I maxed all deposits everywhere, so i googled who would take canadian bank accounts and "royal vegas poker" took some form of it. I quickly deposited 300 ACH, when i didnt even have anything in my account so it would definetly NSF on tuesday (monday holiday). I sit with the 300, run good up to 1.2k, sit at 25/50 plo game and get QQA4, jam Q43 board and triple up. I play for a bit and have now missed thanksgiving dinner but im even with like 4.8K in my royal vegas account. I actually withdraw so that i can pay off my debts. Check bounces, and in the time its clearing i spend the money i dont have. Site never got back to me =(. I had this happen on tilt, but they closed an account i ran up to 11K because it was like the 10th account under same name/ip. Just wish they wouldn't have let me run good first.

If that story sucks this one i liked too. So my first experience with non poker gambling, as i generally hate it, was having 200$ on bet365 and deciding that roulette was cool and i just pressed "repeat bet" "spin" for nearly 6 hours and turned 200, into 4.8K and back to 0 betting same layout or wtv. Same butt sniffer though i come home one night and hes on party poker on my computer again. Hes playing blackjack in 5 spots or something ******ed. I see 1800$ in his account apparently lost 500 on partyPOKER and now depo'd 2k in rage. So he starts playing and winning / losing and eventually loses the 2k. Gets out the cc for another 2k deposit to "win it back, im due for a rush". I ask him 3 times if this is something he'd like to do, he doesnt respond. Deposits 2k and starts playing some more. He's down maybe 1k when dealer busts and he has 21 21 20 19 20 or something. He turns to me with a huge smile screaming "yeahhHH!!!!" and looks for the layne flack high five, but i e-dog him as i completely disgusted at this point. He is left with his hand in the air and he looks back at the monitor and his eyes start to water.

"I just want it over man, I work so hard for the money. Why do I do this to myself, its not right, i just want it over, i just want it over." He starts muttering this to himself and im donig my best not to laugh.

Anyways long story short loses rest of 2k, total 4.5K for the night, smells butt and drinks diet pepsi goes to bed. This dude was compulsive, i used to wake him up after being up till all hours grinding and be like "dude its 10 oclock" and hear "what man we got pocket tens? Pocket tens?" out of his room.
