To get this thread underway, show some respect for the posters concerned and provide some context on why this thread is so necessary and valuable please see some amazing examples from everyone's favorite MTT_9797. Obviously the absolute essence of BBV here, such insightful views and gripping storytelling:
Again good luck boys I look forward to the brilliance to come

So after a long day of work I decided to play a tourney on PokerStars at an internet cafe (my laptop doesn't work) and two computers away from me is this homeless looking guy who smells like the combination of sulfuric acid, rotten eggs, landfill, a truck stop bathroom that hasn't been cleaned since Christ died and human feces/urine.
He's dressed in raggy clothes and has a long beard. I am literally sitting here with my shirt over my face and every time I pull it down, I literally feel like throwing up. I want to go tell the owner to kick him out but there is still about 24 minutes to the next break.
So far played very passively, thinking that no, I will not sacrifice monetary equity because of some smell.
Shoved one hand AQ over a UTG 5x opener (lol). He had the same hand, chop chop. I don't know how much longer I can take this

Feeling like **** after tonight. There was a time I would sit at a wild 2/5 or 5/10 NL game and piss away $25, $75, $125 like it was nothing to see a flop, where I would sweat pots worth thousands.
Tonight, just to get my confidence up I go to a local Italian Cafe where there is a live 0.10/0.20 game going. MAXIMUM buy in $20 but you can rebuy up to $40 if you lose, and $60 if you lose again.
Granted the game played a little bit looser in terms of BB's. I figure I'll go piss away a buy in at worst, and at best, get my confidence level up. Sort of like banging a fat chick. The game looked a little bit like this:
The table "shark" was a guy in his 30's who actually had a job. He had about $150 in front of him. And then there was an action junkie who also had $50 in front of him. To my left was a scrawny crack head who looked something like Lester from the movie casino. He would chase his losses, lose his $20 buy in almost every orbit and beg the "action junkie" to "spot him $20 until Friday". The two other seats were corpses. They had literally $6 in front of them, flatting pre and folding flops. It's really sad to see grown men who have nothing better to do on a Tuesday night than to sit at the local cafe backroom playing the $0.10/0.20 with $6. I'd bet everyone in that room was either on welfare, or didn't qualify for it.
First hand I get K
T
on the double-straddle and don't even remember the action. It was AI on a Q9X-hhh flop where I get it in against A9o and suck out. Early double up.
Before I know it, I have $170 in front of me. It was God-mode LAG. People were having fun. The LAG's were happily donating, the shark was steering clear and the nits were licking their chops waiting on aces, all while bleeding away.
All of a sudden it seemed like it was going to be a profitable night. Even more so than a typical $1/2. I felt like an NBA all-star walking by a hood joining a basketball game of teenagers. I was running over everyone and they were gladly losing to me, laughing it off. I'd throw in stories of playing the $1100 tourney at Borgata. Like it wasn't at all about money.
And then it happened. Biggest pot of the night, I have aces. Well relatively big. Needless to say, I couldn't fade the 5-outter in a 3-way flop AI. It was all the way downhill from there. Getting sucked out, beaten by just a little better, everything.
Tilt takes over. I was having so much fun 3bettign with Q6s, and either bluffing it away or sucking out. Finished down $85 and it left a horrible taste in my mouth. Obv I am typing this with access to internet so $85 is really nothing. I make way more than than in a day at my day job. Just feel like I got rejected by a worhtless ****ing fat hoe.
The point of this session was to get confidence level up.

That was one of the great threads in BBV now it's full of some idiot playing 7 $5 baccarat hands in the same week as they bought a lotto ticket.
That's without even starting on another ones genius and obviously enlightened religion he has started to keep him away from poker tables for 4 hours a week on monday mornings between 2am and 6am. As this is a massive concern and life changing development the world should share in.
And lets not forget the always great women analogies from a virgin.
Please cull me already
On a serious note these 3 seem to like doing all these things in each others vicinity and bouncing off each other for whatever strange reason. Who knows what that could produce....
