Similarities or am I paranoid?

If I remember correctly, He and Dante had some words also itt.

seems like he was just xplainin why he doesnt want to go to the gym and some steroid clown didnt like it
dude if somebody doesnt want to go he doesnt have to go
he never said he was fat
just he doesnt go to gyms
doesnt feel the need to steroid up
hey that be a good pic for him to use
rofl
u people can go lookin for him like that

You don't mold yourself into one of the greatest athletes of all time by simply taking juice.. lol
but the thing that made Bo Jackson a freak, was not necessarily his muscle mass, but how fast he ran. He ran a 4.12 40 at the NFL combine, which is still the fastest to this day. Bo knows Speed!!

Herchel Walker is another freak of nature who never seriously lifted weights. All he did were push-ups and chins..


I think to a certain degree K2D is right about someone being destined to be either fat, skinny, or ****-diesel like Patrick Willis. In fact if he were to have never lifted weights there's no doubt he could come right in and bench more than someone who's been lifting for 5 years with crappy genetics.

bull**** any of us could be running a 4.4 and benching 400 pounds like ray lewis if we just put in as much work as he has

lebron has no more god given athletic ability than the rest of us i could easily have a 40 inch vert if i just tried harder

No he was making ridiculously FOS excuses for why he "can't" make any decent progress in the gym. He is basically saying that people who succeed are just lucky to have the genetics for it. And he is saying this even though he clearly doesn't know **** about the gym. I bet this dude spent a fraction of the time in the gym than he claims here, only did assistance work performed incorrectly and then ate like pure **** afterward. And no, eating a bag of fruit once in a while in an attempt to "eat healthier" doesn't repair a person's diet even remotely.

And the gym is just one example of how a person can improve themselves. He clearly has some serious social issues and he could work on his personality. Or do a number of other things that will actually benefit himself in the long run. Moving to a third world country where the chicks are desperate enough to sleep with him is not self improvement. It might be a bit more enjoyable in the short run, and it might boost his ego and self esteem a bit, but it is probably sabotaging himself in the long run (especially since he apparently sucks at poker and is giving up other opportunities by being out there).

And please stop it with the straw man fallacies. Nobody here said that genetics don't play a role in athleticism. What people are saying, however, if that if you're an overly fat or skinny person (and he is one of these because he will not respond to height and weight) then there certainly are things you can do to improve your appearance and look at least reasonably decent - *even on close to the worst genetics*.

And if he did so what? Again this ain't a bodybuilding forum. Why you get so worked up about whether people work out in the gym right or not? who gives a ****. He did what he did and he didn't like it. Now he's Cambodia making a living from poker and banging a bunch of hookers. Good for him.

You could be 100% correct in everything you are saying but you would still look like a complete dick because this the travel section of a poker strategy forum. No bodies gives a flying **** about muscle building techniques.

Yep... he's really ****.

Kardnel just went full ******

yep borderline psychopath

Dont hate on K2D yo!

MOAR

Thought why I keep reading this thread every day and realized k2d reminds me of Dan Fante books. K2D seems a bit like Dan Fante´s alter ego Bruno Dante but without drinking. Keep updating and gl at tables K2D.

Is this a serious post or sarcasm? He is grinding 5-10 dollar tournaments after several years of play. That fact strongly supports the idea that he is sabotaging himself in the long run. Wasting your prime years for that is not a good thing. That probably is a big part into why he is so damn unhappy as well - he probably realizes that good things aren't going to come from doing that.

Well it pays the bills so why not? And he can live his life in Cambodia.
He is still a winning pokerplayer unlike 99% of all the players.
I think he does something he will remember for the rest of his life and probably evolve alot as a person.
Better then flipping burgers at McDonalds. Or working a booring 9-5 job.

Because that is poor financial planning. Living pay check to pay check in Cambodia (which is what playing low limit donkaments is basically) is a serious dead end. It is as much of a dead end as being an English teacher would be, although maybe he earns a bit more than that at least.

You're right that there is a benefit for living in a new place for a while, I definitely concede that that is a positive.

From reading this guy's posts I can easily see him ending up staying way too long and focusing on all the wrong things when he is here. Most of his posts are complaining about life and bragging about girls. The girls will have very little long term value for him... and he could probably get as much pleasure from the girls if he spent a fraction of his time doing it. Overall his life will be a lot better for focusing on some other things. I mean I am not berating what most guys out here are doing but this guy - and I am not the only person who thinks it at all - is *clearly* not happy with what hes doing.

its his life dude. I am sure he knows roughly what he is getting into. You live your life and He will live his. Go preach elsewhere imo, no one here wants to read your surmon.

He seems like antisocial guy who at least sometimes likes to grind and he can afford girls there. What activities or profession you would recommend to him unless he wouldnt grind? Also he makes decent money in small stakes and he could live in many other countries also. For some people poker seems way better profession because they don´t like people or can´t communicate normally.

Don´t know what is k2d´s hourly $ in poker but let´s imagine he makes like 20$ per hour. There are many educated people doing work for less money. Not all people aim to be high social status and make their families "proud" doing normal things.

took errrrr jub..

Dude,
Get off your high horse. The workout input is most likely true. Then, though, you start attacking the guy. Get off your moral high horse. You are, oh- what are they called.....
oh yeah, a douchebag. That's the word I'm looking for.

Probably what I am saying is offending way too many guys in this thread that are doing a similar thing as him. Sorry guys if I am offending you. Normally I let idiots do whatever they want and don't say anything. But his consistent complaining became a bit too much for me this time around and I guess I just couldn't help it. When he responded that he *can't* help himself that was a bit too much for me because it is simply bull ****. He is a full of **** cry baby and I will be very direct in saying that. I especially hate it when folks complain constantly and refuse to improve upon their situation.

Anyway I'll leave this thread alone. Good luck sirs!

Kardnel you look that you have problem, despite you are no more fat and musculess. k2d is looking happy and well balanced compare to you.

This bodybuilding stuff is officially the strangest derail I've ever come across.

Best news in this thread today if he keeps his word... one hater less...

Why do all these guys feel the need to belittle others' lifestyle and choices? I think K2D has a PERFECT life by his own norms... and I think the risk is just that he will enjoy anything other way less if he can't sustain it long term.. but then again, since he does not expect to live past 35, his Net Present Value calculation gives 'today's value a lot more weight in his choices. Respect for a guy actually living his way early, rather than waste too much of his life on the rat race...

It's my favorite thread because it's seldom to see someone come out for such a lifestyle and stick throughout the hate and I enjoy every story.. too bad no pics to visualize things more... but hey.. is there ever anything perfect?

Very interesting will be to see relative value stories between countries on the whoring and cost of living side if he moves some months to Thailand, then the Phils.

Keep it up K2D... more silent fans around than vocal jealous haters...

first off i would like to thank kardnel for informing me that moving to asia and banging hookers while playing low buy in mtt's isnt the most +ev long term life decision, i had never though of that before and will have to re-examine where i am in my life and how i can get myself back on the right track

you mention poor financial planning, so could you please give me some advice on how to do a better job of planning for my future? i would just hate to get to be 70 years old and be out of money, and you also mention i will probably stay over here to long, so please let me know how long you think i should stay because i dont want to stay longer than you think i should, and if there are any other things you think i should do so that i would be living my life the way you want me to go ahead and share and i will try and change for you

i like how he complains about the thread and says he doesnt really read it........ while reading it......... if you dont like it dont open it, pretty simple imo


i worked out just as much as i said i did, can choose to not believe if you like, he seems to think that i wanted to try out for the worlds strongest man competition, all i said is that i didnt get as much out of it for the amount of time i put in, thats a fact


bernie is basically right that i have the perfect life for what i want, only thing thats holding me back is headaches but those arent any better no matter what i do so its as good as it can be for me




sooooooo anyways, went ahead and tried the "happy shake" yesterday, trippin by myself didnt sound like the best idea but i dont think inviting m3thie over to partake with me was a better idea so i went ahead and got one after i finished my session, plan was to watch alice in wonderland and the smurfs, but in reality that would have obviously turned into stare at the first thing that had a decent pattern on it for like 5 hours (carpet was always my fav thing to stare at while shroomin) then once it calmed down i was gonna head down to the beach and stare at the ocean or the sand and watch the sunset


but i wrongly assumed that their mush's would be about the same quality as the ones in the states, on a scale of 1-10 i would say the trip was about a 2...... no visuals at all, only a slight body high, basically it was enough to let you know that you had taken something but not enough to really feel it, i had a bit of a headache heading in and all the shake really did was make me tired so i laid in bed for a couple hours, was only $3.50 so maybe if you get two shakes there would be more in it and make it worth it, but there seemed to be enough that i should have felt more

would not recommend it, was the happy herb pizza place on serendipity fwiw up at the top of the hill


but my real reason for taking them wasnt to trip it was to test and see if it would help with my headaches so maybe it will


i had also hid some "bananas" in 2 other rooms at my hotel back when i quit in early november, i checked up on them about a month ago one of them was gone but the other was still there, went to get the one that was still there (wanted to give it to flaky girl) but it was gone also now

the last time i bought bananas was when that cleaning lady emptied the trash in the 25 minute window i had them hidden behind it, so i ended up buying a 2nd bushel, paid $40 and got maybe $5-$10 of value........ there we are back to the poor financial planning again

ffs k2d lets get some cliffs after every novel..i only have a 5 min break

i don't really get though why u are attention whoring the lifestyle that ur leading and then getting all defensive when u get a few home truths.

u surely gotta understand how all this is perceived by most logical thinking posters right...u gonan get a lot of **** and hate and alot of fans too i guess

anyway carry on...good for lolz when i runnin like ****e

i actually been menain to come to cambodia on a visa run..can't decide on snooky or w/e its called and capital...guess will go where the best poker action is
