MarkACE 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Just wanted to know what everyones worse decision they've ever made since they started poker. Whether it's moving higher limits/way out of your bankroll, quiting your job to play poker, getting fired from your job playing poker, etc.... My worse decision was, after building my bankroll from $500 to $2,300 playing 3-6 live, I decided to play $6-$12 and $1-$3 no limit...Boy did that eat up my bankroll and put me on tilt. Wow, $3-$6 seemed like the kitty table to me after crushing it so many times. Well, I learned the hard way and then I discovered this Forum and am now starting from scratch online!

MBrady 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 After a few drinks, I sat at a $10-20 table with something like 3/4 of my total bankroll and lost about half of it when my set of 10s ran into a set of Qs.I rule. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbywithani 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 One time I made a final table on an on-line MTT. It was like 2:30 in the morning. This cute girl called me to ask if I wanted to come have a few drinks at her house. I declined the booty call. Link to post Share on other sites
troutsmart 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Playing in games above my bankroll for sure. After that, playing online poker while heavily drugged up on medication. 1 heavily medicated night= minus 95 BBs. Link to post Share on other sites

STYLINHAWYN 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I think the worse decision I ever made as far as poker is concerned is well...Learning how to play poker in the first place! and i'm not even kidding, im dead serious! Game is evil. anyway, now that I am playing and finally learning how to win, my worse decision was to jump up two levels in one day after a couple of hot sessions. spent 4 hours grinding out $600 at $1/$1 + $2/$2 NL, only to spend a whole 30 minutes losing it all at the $4/$4 NL table.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 My WORST decision ever was reading this thread.Well socko669 is it that bad? Please amuse me....No, not really. I just felt like correcting your spelling...it's "worst" not "worse."You weren't correcting his spelling, just his grammar. Worse was spelled correctly. It was used incorrectly. Now that that is out of the way, I was going to do the same thing. It was that bad.My worst decision was ordering a drink after the break of a MTT and giving the waitress a $20 for a bottle of water and a free soda. I had and she had no change. Busted out two hands later and was irritated and didn't remember until I reached to pay for the toll 20 minutes later. I had more money, but that isn't the point. Point is, get your own drinks during the breaks. Link to post Share on other sites
