Theraflu 1,035 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 What most of you fail to realize is that you will never beat poker, and will never be much more than a break even player. Move on, poker will only treat a very few amount of people well. The sooner you see that, the better. All those grinders and their immense freedom? I dont even know where to begin with your post, kid.More successful? How do you measure that? Shall we post up bank statements? Pics of house/cars? Pics of wife/gf? I'm 25, how old are you?whats your obsession with being e-better than others? do you really have no friends? Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Yeah, it makes a lot more sense to spend $200,000 on a rathole on East 375th St. than to pay $800 a month for a beautiful apartment in Brooklyn. You're really smart Rob. What're you, from Kansas or something? Link to post Share on other sites
Pivvy2001 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Move on, poker will only treat a very few amount of people well. I am thrilled you explained that. I had been so confused before.And so we are clear, I would much rather spend money on rent and have 1000 square feet then get a mortgage to live in 400 square feet. But I guess that is a difference in perspective, as I actually want to have friends over.And to start with success can be measured by not having to go online to rip on people I don't know to feel good about myself. Just think about it, if you had so much going on, why would you waste you time in this manner. You have to be bored, it is the only conclusion.And you can use any of your measures as well and I am quite sure it doesnt change the facts. your not understanding why people pay rent is confusing to me. I know multiple doctors and lawyers (presumably who make more money than you, though I am not certain of that) that pay rent. Are they all unsuccessful. Or is it only poker players who pay rent that have a problem?perhaps your condescending tone (calling someone else 'kid' when you are only 25) reflects a sense of inadequacy or perhaps you just wanted to start an e-argument. if the later is the case, I apologize for obliging. if you actually believe that paying rent makes someone worse of than you, you need a reality check man.I am done arguing, because I feel your opinion will never change and you are entitled to it. Take care. Enjoy your house(s).Jonny G. Link to post Share on other sites

You're really smart Rob. What're you, from Kansas or something?If rent for a beautiful apartment in brooklyn is $800, you should be able to buy a decent place for $250,000. You obviously know NOTHING about real estate. Whatever though, you seem content paying someone else's mortgage. Link to post Share on other sites

You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your ****ing khakis.Oh, and you aren't anything special by talking **** on a forum.Have fun with your AWESOME life.

rob 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Pivvy, I am confused as to why you are brining doctors and lawyers to a poker forum. Also, I am quite sure I make more $$ than a lot of lawyers. Realize that many lawyers are forever stuck in the 60-70k dollar range.I am talking about people on THIS forum. The people that have illusions of making it big in poker, all while just getting by or living with parents still. Those are the people Im referring to. Why you would bring up professionals is beyond me. Im sure there are people that are bad with money in every profession. Im referring to the losers grinding it out in poker, never hoping that one day they will have to face reality. It seems many of you are content to just scrape by with your measly poker winnings.

You are a different person depending on how much $ you have in the bank. I've been poor before, it sucks. Having to put back groceries when you get to the checkout line b/c you can't afford them is something I'll never forget. Money gives you freedom, and with freedom comes happiness. Doing something you dont enjoy, just so you can pay the bills is not freedom, and will not bring happiness to many. Therefore, you are how much money you have in the bank.

Whats going to crash? The market will level out and the morons who have adjustable rate mortgages may be in trouble, but nothing will crash. People will always be buying houses, always. They were buying houses in the early 80's when % rates were at %13, so why wouldn't they buy now when they are still low. You, sir, are very misinformed. Link to post Share on other sites

Most households have 2 incomes, no? Lets say the avg. household income for man and woman is $50,000. You are telling me the avg price for a home is the US is 1/4 million dollars? There are places where it is costly to live, S. Cali, NYC, Miami, Phoeix, but most places you can live just fine in a $125,000. It won't be a mansion, but more than what you need. Also, Im sure most households with 2 incomes are able to pull in more than $25,000/year. If it was 5 time the avg income, noboby could get qualified for a loan, dumbass.

danlux 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 What world are you living in where a normal house is 125k? And also, not everyone here (a lot of people being college students) have 20 grand sitting around for a down payment, not to mention the credit to buy a 200k+ house. So yeah, most people rent when they are young. Or maybe your daddy helped you out? Link to post Share on other sites
