No worries. One pill and you'll be back to normal. Next time wear protection before browsing.

Lol I can't possibly bet by lowly one pair on that flop but let me bet and stack off once the board DOUBLE PAIRS and villain rejams. Surly he must be doing this with ace high or three pearzah. Never play poker again OP. Dummy

Wait, this is your Plan A and you have no Plan B? You've made nothing but terrible decisions in your life, but you're focusing on one two-outer? I'd get a little more perspective.

Hes claiming he has "100 buy ins". So 15-20k? But he has no other option. Just LOL. Millions upon millions of people throughout the world wish they had that problem.

What would would anyone else do? If they look down at aces and are facing all in call preflop with the other chip leader at the table everyone else has 100-300 avg 150?

There is no such thing as chip leader at a cash game.It is ratio of who has you covered. If you are 60x-100x buyin bankroll managing this hand would give you a small sting that all. He still has 18% to hit 2 outer fives times....it is impossible to win without bankroll management.

Go wear Birkenstocks and seek validation from people by asking "Can you dig it?"

You're parents hired me to talk to you about the dangers of drugs, also your mom think's you've been spending to much time on "the computer". An intervention is the last thing we want for you.

The OP might be bad at poker, but he's great at barely coherent setup lines.

Learn to spell first. Then blow all your money on a game you can not play well. Just saying.

It's not going to be easy but I'm willing to have an open mind, try new things, and get better. Time is on my side.

That sounds better. Good luck. If you really have the bankroll you claim, i would spend more time studying the game and less time playing, until you feel confident.
