lol live poker

I called down 160BB with 66 on a Q-5-4-J-K board vs a drunk guy.

I was good. Table was mesmerized. Guy who lost said it was a horrible call, then later said it was the best call he's ever seen.

The games were good all day as well. I should have been grinding all night instead of being lazy.

08-27-2011 , 03:04 PM
thinking about breaking up with girlfriend of 4 and a half years. Am I being too nitty with accepting things or am I justified in how I feel?

cliffs: her mom died one year ago, her dad getting remarried, she wants to go to med school he won't let her, I had to move out (we lived with each other two years) so shes having a lot of problems but then again she's always been treating me like **** and the straw that broke the camel's back was her saying the following:

"Give me space until Friday. Or get me a bigger engagement ring. Even your sister made fun of it because of how small it is".

is it incredibly douchey of me to think of leaving her after all of this?
08-27-2011 , 03:10 PM
Dude. No brainer. Unless she's really hot and really rich. Then think about it for a few hours and come to the same conclusion.

being rich wouldnt matter imo, and shes not well to do but shes just a college student. shes also very hot to me, which is what matters.
08-27-2011 , 03:13 PM
Obviously need more details to give you a better read than that though lol. Sounds like too much hassle for a guy to willingly put himself through.

tell me about it. I could have moved to Vancouver also after BF. I didn't because of her. -_-
08-27-2011 , 03:28 PM
You're early 20's, right? I've heard time and time again that making life choices that revolve around a woman at that stage of your life is bad strat. I followed my gf to college when I knew it was stupid, but didn't care at the moment. I wasted like 2 years of my college life on one woman that was maybe only in the 70th percentile when I could have been out meeting tons and tons of girls and just people in general. The experiences I could have gained makes me sick to think about. Not to mention I should have been at an entirely different college to begin with if I didn't follow her there.

In short, no girl is worth compromising the more important things in your life. There's so many women out there that are perfect for you, there's no rush to settle down with one when you are so young. So if one is holding you back, I'd really reconsider what your intentions are in the relationship.
08-27-2011 , 03:31 PM
And I'm also thinking of moving to Vancouver next summer if this BF **** doesn't get sorted out by then. My sister is going to drag me out there to help her pay for rent, and supposedly it's one of the sickest cities in the world.

Bold seems like the dealbreaker. If this is actually true there is no way you should consider marrying her/why the hell did u get engaged in the first place. If this has just been a really recent thing with her then maybe you should talk to her about it first and see if there is something that can be worked out, but if she has been treating you like **** for 4 years then the break up has been a long time coming.

Also, the last time I checked I didn't need a parents permission to go to school.

yeah pretty much. she thinks she needs her dad money for medical school and she thinks loans won't take care of her living expenses. she is incredibly nieve in that regard.

since her mom died, she has turned up the ****storm. Before then it was fine, things were good etc. this last year has been trying though for the both of us. Like she keeps saying "me me me" and I just want to be like OH rly did you wake up one day and have your entire career taken away just like that? I can't do that though because a. im not a dick and b.thats not even close to comparable to losing a loved one, let alone one's mother. But its all her bull**** all the time. Yeah, poker left and I couldn't pay for my schooling because my money is stuck on FTP but I sacked up and adapted...I found a job and went back to a community college. I still play on Merge but I have to be staked because I don't have the necassary funds to be on my own (ala FTP).

Yet I never bitch about these things and I just keep grinding everyday to the death and for her its always these ****ing problems that it seems she can't get over. Like I love her with all my being but its gotten too much. I don't know what to do.

Also, she has said she is jealous of our roomies because they are engaged and getting ready to start life in a new house in about a year. The girl inherited like a bajillion dollars from family and her fiancee works at Wells Fargo. much different from a prospective medical student whose fiancee is a busto out of work professional poker player.

gahhhhhhhhhhhh this angers me gentlemen.
08-27-2011 , 04:52 PM
gf is totally cute and i have a hardon for asians and i still say its time to move on the where they respect your diamonds.
08-27-2011 , 05:15 PM
Wow. I didn't know she was Asian. That would make things tougher for me. Like 90% of Asian girls give me a boner. Plus they are young until they are 50.

I guess you gotta just look for a better one, though. Tough break.

I can't imagine what it is like to lose a parent but it is still no excuse for her treating you like ****. I would talk to her asap about this and how you feel about it and then if she doesn't change real soon end it.

had a gf once who was "me me me" all the time. that didnt last too long. It sounds like she is being selfish. If thats the case i don't see how it would be a good idea to stay with her long term. Also if she sucks at adapting to what life gives her thats another huge problem.
08-27-2011 , 06:30 PM
If shes really treating you like shht and btching about the size of her engagement ring, then thats enough info for me to say you should be done.
08-27-2011 , 07:12 PM
You better have a 10 inch **** if she's complaining about diamonds being too small.
08-27-2011 , 07:45 PM
UCD, don't put up with that ****. You're not being a nit and she's completely disrespectful.

If she can't understand the differences in your situation vs the others and accept it, I'd move on. Seems like you're trying hard to make things work but if she can't see that then it's on to the next.

Also, the whole engagement ring thing is ****. If my GF would have said that I would have laughed in her face and said give it back then (Srsly).
08-27-2011 , 07:58 PM
Wait Mat you're engaged or just saying that for effect?

Also just saw this guy sitting alone don't decline playing too many people but figured I'd pass on starting 5/10 tables with this guy: http://www.pokertableratings.com/mer...itteringprizes
