I'm $552 short of my mortgage payment for this month. Rather than ask for help from a friend or relative, I'm going to low stakes degen it up. Local casino only spreads 2-20 hold em and I need a comeup. Or I can just play blackjack. WWYD?

bet it all on black obv

have to drive 1.2 hour to nearest roulette table...

if you're supporting a family you should just get help

Just myself and my dog. And there isn't much difference between asking for a $600 loan and a $1100 loan. Anywho I'll be sure to update this with some results....hopefully hit some live jackpot and degen it away on hookers and blow.

ok gamble if you feel like it. I'd say drive somewhere and stick your roll on a poker table. If you're on 2p2 you're probably not a big dog and worst case scenario you might learn something about playing poker.

gl to you anyway

Up 50...playing 2-20...

Arizona? Or do other places spread that ridiculous excuse for a poker game?

you're trying too hard.

any equity in your home?

if so, sell that **** and downsize to renting w/ smaller payments if you're out of the job. can't refi/purchase w/ no income, bro

Have a job. Unfortunately its commission only and the the market out here sucks right now. I'm in eastern wa and 2 hours away from the closest nl game. Up 100....card dead, but these players are so bad I'm slowly grinding. Tempted just to put it in Spanish 21 and see what happens.

lol, i'm only 545$ short. thanks to final tabling a 0.5$R yesterday!

inb4 busto and life fail

guess you're too late bra

Well the night got interesting and certainly more degen. Poker game broke @ 230 and my net loss was $7. A reasonable person would have taken this as a sign and gone home and slept and grind again tomorrow or call a friend for a favor. But that's not the spirit of bbv. So I hit the Spanish table. Needless to say I pissed away 400 within 15 minutes and was down to my last $100. Luckily that last Franklin had other plans for me.

I went on a huge heater for 2 shoes and was up 1200. I should have got up and left, but I had visions of running it up to 10k, quitting my **** job, and catching the next plane to Vegas. My greed clouded my vision and before I knew it I was back to even,, square one. Usually you just end up losing the rest of it like its some sort of predestined plan, but I managed to go on a small run and leave with 330 profit.

So that's it. I'm not that far away from my goal and should probably just borrow the last little bit, but I have a feeling I'll be back at the casino tomorrow.

quitting your job because you win 10k?

Do you play online/SN?

wait is a degen story with a happy ending?

degen stories for upcoming part imho "dream of 10k when you got 1,2k" - ooh yeah.

You can't degen at a spread limit table. Thread sucks. OP sucks. Story sucks, and I doubt it's even true.

Ban everybody who's posted ITT and lock it up.

Went back yesterday....Won 950. all but 140 on 2-20. ....Still have 3 days before I'm late so lets run this **** up....BR ~1650...housepayment 1100

just play poker. you're giving away money playing anything else. just know you're giving away free money to the casino, which is fine if you enjoy it and can afford it. you can't.

Ya OP, don't look for a rational solution to your problems. Just go to the casino and GAMBOL. It work out every time*.

3 stars for somewhat degen sort of poker related story

Mr Degen delivers imo.
