This is awesome too, surprised it got no love..... (not the hand itself ldo)

lol, totally missed this

it's tough peaking at such a young age because I will always have a difficult time finding greater satisfaction in the future. peaking is the wrong word because that must mean everything is downhill from here and that can't be true.

you can't take other peoples advice forever. don't get me wrong because I really do appreciate other people's advice, but how can they know what is best for me if they don't even know enough about me. but it is important to surround yourself with these people who you can trust and whos advice you can consider but not necessarily always take. I guess this is what keeps me in Croton: the fact that I am surrounded by people I can trust or at least I think I can trust. that has been my problem recently. I have been trusting people too easily and getting myself [censored] over when I least expect it. of course the easiest solution is to trust nobody but that will turn me into a hermit which seems to be happening as I type at this moment

in the business of gambling, it is best always have a pessimistic outlook and that came natural to me. everytime you get your money in, if you expect to win and you do win it seems like no big deal - but if you lose which will eventually happen if you are gambling then it will be painful. but if you really expect to lose everytime you get your money in and you lose it seems like no big deal - but if you win the joy can be tremendous. I find myself rooting for them to win everytime I get the money in, good or bad. what is really important though is to not allow this pessimism to leak over into other aspects of life.

it's not how much money you have, but how you spend it that is important. I've had a very stingy outlook towards money most of my life because when I was young, I never really had much like any younger should. when I started winning small, I would always try to save, save, save and build a bigger bankroll to be able to play higher and higher. until just recently I continued to have that mindstate. whenever someone heard of some numbers from a recent win or loss they will tell me what I should have bought with it. but I never bought anything. I just kept saving and saving. that gets way too boring. what satisfacton can you get at looking at a picture of a number? at first it seemed cool but now? not much really. it reminds me of a squirrels mentality of constantly collecting nuts or acorns or whatever it is they collect and piling them up waiting for winter. this can all be proved by the fact that I don't even have my own car yet.

I spoke with a friend recently who just lost everything gambling. he told me "didnt know that one bad decision would screw me over 4 life" and that really scared me. he has always had trouble with money managment and basically lost it all playing 300-600nl with a 2 buyin bankroll. 2 [censored] buy in bankroll. luckily I have a little more sense than him but I am starting to experience similar problems myself. at least before the biggest games I could find were 10-20 and 25-50nl but nowadays it's just too easy to take an open seat at 200-400 or 300-600. and even if I did have a sufficent roll for that I woul still have the temptation to play 4k/8k at bellagio. the swings are huge up there and I definately don't feel comfortable gambling like that however, time after time again I find myself doing it

I wish I read the above note before I played bwankawonk and perky. lol what funny names. long story short each of them got 400 from me. click your mouse lose your house. gg life.

doing much better lately though but am liquid busto which is really embarrassing but kind of funny. now I am able to relate to al the people I hang with who are always bitchin about every dollar they spend. still haven't decided what I am doing this fall. architetcture is a real piece of work and it's going to take me another like 6 years before I can even write my name on my work which is pretty [censored] wack. plus I don't think I could take the whole daily grind 9-5 for $40k or whatever the [censored] they make a year. I'd probably lose my mind quicker doing that than what I'm doing now.

but I probably lost it already at when i took that shot at cap 500-1 LOL!

^^ both from Grim's facebook, Apr 10 and Jul 8, respectively.

chooo choooooo

thats pretty awesome...i have some family in croton...theres like 100 people in that town they probably know grim haha thatd be sick

the first sentence is best about it all being all downhill haha

u b pimpin yo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHDYGbsBIQo

grimm sounds like a little boy with gambling problems.

We should genetically combine someone else like him and create the ultimate grimstarr.

bluescouse + grimstarr = bluestarr, the ultimate gambling pizza hut busto captain of poker.

wow imsakidd is a scumbag for posting that, what a surprise

grim is an attention whore, he would approve.

and nath asked for it, so that makes it ok.

[quote]

if it's on facebook it's not exactly private

Wait, you mean Grimstarr is a real person with emotions, hopes, and dreams?

BBV may need some time to process this.

Time and time again, whether on 2+2 or at the tables, theres NATH interjecting with his never clever, always obvious and arrogant comments. Wow, he backed out of a flip!!!! Holy [censored]!!!! No ones ever done that before. Wow he steals blinds, unreal! Someone deserves to lose their whole net worth because of it, and be told to commit suicide and be called an unethical POS! How does he treat people daily, is a good friend to have, these are ways to judge people. OK NATH, please respond with "Worst post ever," or "ban from 2+2," but please don't be creative or clever, because that would actually require some thought from my end.

Actually, I think Nath is one of a handful of posters that DOESN'T post like that. Weird.

It's iffy... It's not as private as something locked in your safe, but still more private than a blog or a myspace. I think facebook accounts are always private/hidden until you add them as friends.

ban

lol im from croton
I know of him/went to school with him lol but I have heard a few peopel be like you know that [Grimstarr} hes a millionaire from online poker. lol

ya, it's still private in the sense that nobody outside his network of friends can see it

yes facebook accounts are relatively private

but imsa never cares if someone tells him something in confidence or that shouldn't be repeated in public

so he's a scumbag, as i said

am i the only person that can't figure out why you are defending pizza faces right to privacy?

Imsa did once post a picture of my sister from my Facebook in IRC, which I thought was pretty out of line.

funny thing is that if grim never took a shot above 10/20 he would prob have a mil by now anyways.

everyone is being way too hard on this kid.

yeah, he doesnt do the right thing when he steals blinds or whatever. however, there is a huge difference between him stealing a blind and being a dick about it than you guys standing by and cheering while he loses everything he has.

yeah, i know people will tell me to go play against him and then how will I feel when he steals my blinds right? or what do i know, i have like 50 posts, I couldn't possibly comprehend how awful grimstarr is...

the point is, even if he did steal my blind, i wouldn't want to cheer as he lost his hundreds of thousands. this place is supposed to be a poker "community." from what i've seen of grimm, hes a participant in the community. maybe he does things you dont approve of, and there is nothin wrong with callin him out or giving him a hard time for it, but keep in mind, you are his community. if he really did post about how he had a hard time socially and everything, that means you may be his only community. if you think that ANYTHING he does at the table makes it ok to tell someone to commit suicide (and mean it, which hopefully wasn't the case) you're wrong. you don't have to be a poker expert to know that.

so yeah, maybe he'll continue to throw away a ton, and maybe he'll continue to be a jerk about it. but dont kick him while hes down, because it doesnt matter how many times he steals the blinds, hes still a person.

many

mannyyyyy
