Welcome, Retard. It's about time we had the real thing, instead of those who just act like it.

$1000/month playing poker = $12,000/yearFederal Minimum Wage = $10,056/yearAhead of the game already! :)If I were you, I'd sort though the posts here and notice that there's good advice. A lot of what you've written doesn't lend itself to the idea that you'd be a viable poker pro (hell, I know I'm not). You've gotten flamed, but in those flames are actual honest criticisms. Good luck to you.

I roll naked in my winnings, of course.And I'm tired of picking nickels out of my ass.

Ha! Didn't see the original date on the thread.Glad to see everything worked out. :)Now get back to school, you slacker!

I always hate when I see something like this. (Nothing personal, dudley.)No, Bill Gates didn't finish school. Neither did the guy who pumps my gas, the guy who bags my groceries, or the guy who mows my lawn.Remember that, for every Bill Gates, there are 100,000 folks who won't make millions by dropping out of school.wrto, maybe school isn't for you. That's cool. It's not for everybody. But, to be only a few credits short of your degree and not finish? Sounds like a bad laydown to me. In any case, I wish you the best of luck, with your current losing streak, and all your future winning streaks

No, just the one. It's not a screen real estate issue, though. It's simply a matter of being able to pay enough attention to the various tables and being able to act within the allotted time. I've just found that with that many turns coming up so quickly, the times when I misclick goes up a great deal.

I find myself unable to do more than four at shorthanded tables. The action comes around so much faster, and you're playing so many more hands, it gets too hectic for me. Though, it's possible I'm just slow.

I've found it really varies. Sometimes I find tables that are averaging 50, while other times I've seen them spike as high as 120. Most of the time it's 70-80, from my experience. Only very rarely do I see them far above that.

Dazed and Confused? Or am I imagining a reference here?

I'm not sure exactly why, but the response that seems to set people off the most is just to say "thank you."I typed it into chat on the wrong table once after sucking out, and I thought the guy was going to lose his mind. I mean, it doesn't make any sense, but it really seems to put folks on tilt. Somehow, the idea that you'd thank them for your horrible suckout just angers people.

Yeah but there are many others turning wine back into water. So it works both ways. I've been turning water into lightly carbonated water, so I figure I'm doing pretty well.

Only if you do it 10 times.

Hey! No wasting excess hate on anyone else right now. Keep things focused.

He seemed like a nice guy from what I saw of him on that Poker Royale show, so I wish him the best of luck.However, anytime I hear his name, it takes me a while before I realize he isn't a female porn star.

If this were true, he would immediately vault to the top of my favorite poker players list.

If this were posted at the top of the page, we'd save ourselves a lot of threads.

It's a steaming pile of crap not fit for retarded monkeys.Nothing wrong with your avatar, but if you haven't bought the book, I wouldn't suggest it. You've already read the title--there's nothing more to learn within.

Maybe I didn't see the same video (the one with him and the two Playboy bunnies?), but I didn't think he came off that bad. Sounds like he has a number of business ventures going. Kudos to him for capitalizing on his success. He may never win another hand of poker, but if he can leverage what he's already won, he's done well.As for looking like a donkey...I figure anyone who has a four-week-old kid deserves a bit of slack.

Steal away.

Don't feel bad. You're not taking their money because they're gambling addicts. You're taking it because they suck at poker.Addiction is a disease; poor poker playing is a choice.

Disclaimer: this is not meant to be an obnoxious answer.If you don't know whether or not you should keep playing, how can any of us? The tone of your post suggests one of two things to me. Either: (a) you're in a mindset where you're going to go on tilt at the mere hint of another bad beat, or (B) you're on the verge of hiding the bodies of your neighbors in your crawl space.From all I read, it sounds like you're on tilt, in a rut, and doubting yourself. Seems like a terrible combination to even think about playing. If you're already predicting you might "lose your head," don't play.

Personally, I set a monetary goal at which I'll cash out (assuming, as you said, that I don't want to move up a level). When I hit that point, I cash down to my original bankroll, regardless of what else I'm doing. I know that I've got money on its way, and I've still got the appropriate bankroll to play with. It gives me a nice measuring stick for my profits, since I always know how much I've cashed vs. my initial investment.

Tell the truth...you were fired for drinking on the job.

Does it worry you when people by them at the same time? :wink: I design video games for a living.
