Times you felt slightly baller - Page 7 - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

got the chicken legend with bacon yesterday at McDonald's. i was asked if i wanted bacon and i just said "yeah sure" and the girl was like "you know it's 29p more?" and i was like "ya it doesn't matter i want bacon". this sandwich was also in the premium section of the menu and not the value section.

also i once had 'double auto-rebuy' checked in a $10r on stars. wasn't even bothered!

once i sat down with my whole roll of 4k (grinding 6,50 sngs) @ 25/50, wanted to sit out just to look cool with my stack, but was too slow so i posted BB, luckily it was folded to me, im still not sure what i would have down if i got KK in the bb and there was some big action in front of me, same with AA acutally Oo

-->that makes me a lifetime winner of 25/50 with 50bb/100 hands, anyone got a better score there?

All in all spent about 2.3k that week. All of which was just impulse spending, did not plan on buying these at all really. Obviously the 3.5k downswing happened directly after.

I"m pretty sure that damn tv stand in a horrible beat

Gave my gf 10$ to stop complaining about some 3$ band-aids that she thought were too expensive that I had suggested she buy for her foot (that she had been complaining about). She threw the money to the ground and whined the rest of the day how she couldn't believe I'd hand her money in that manner.

Bought a 09 G37 Cash and the 1st salesman I walked past after pulling into dealership with a 97 Tbird/Junker walked right past me and shrugged me off. Couple hours later I could see he was visibly on life tilt.

Have ordered blunts and Cigs from a Taxi company and have had them deliver them to me multiple times.

After 2 hours of playing chinese poker in my life was playing 100$ per point

Once fit 46k cash into a walmart wallet which fit into my pocket

Once went to Jc penny and spent 450$ on pillows

I dont know how Baller that is, but it sure is cool.

I bought a TV too, and use it a monitor to play poker. Bought an E-reader, paid my rent, and took all my friends out to dinner and just told them I didn't want their money as I paid the bill.
Not super baller, but it feels good to drop money that is insignificant to me, and matters to them.

Edit: I also had to buy some $90 tennis shoes in vegas despite them being worth about $20. Only needed them for a day. Felt kind of baller, and now I call them my baller shoes.

I know this is an ironic thread for the most part, but I bought my 08 528xi with cash. Funny thing is the girl who took my check said:

You plan on eating at McDonalds alot next year?
Um, well I eat there sometimes but not that often.
Yeah I just mean you are spending alot on this, are you going to be needing to get by on the dollar menu for the next year.
Um, yeah I make like 20k a month I think I'll be okay.
Oh wow, ok sorry.

Biotch.

I couldn't think of anything baller I'd done until I read this post. I actually lent a friend ~4k$ over the next 3 years so he'd save a little on loan interest. Being able to do that without it really affecting me at all makes me feel quite baller.
