-100k

[Talking Poker]

GTDaw's post was great. Instead of reading anything I would have come up with here, go read his again.

Then stop beinf a douche and playing WAY over your head like that. I mean, seriously - I know you are a big winner, but I also know you don't have the roll to be playing 300/600. At a mere 20 buy ins (which anyone would call ridiculous for Heads Up play), you should have a $1.2 million roll. And I know you don't. So stop being a tard.

Also, think about what made you make the decision to sit in that game. Was it because you thought you could score an easy $50k or so? If so, is that really necessary? I mean, do you need to win $20k or $50k or $100k in 20 minutes? Would wining $5k after an entire hour of playing be so bad?

There comes a point where the risks greatly outweigh the rewards, IMO, and I think you far exceeded that tonight.

Sorry to be harsh, but rather than shrug this off and potentially let it happen again, I'd rather you really think about it and NOT let it happen again.

Did the thought that this 10/20 player wasn't actually the same person that was playing 300/600 ever cross your mind?

QFobviousness.

Damn JD... Tough one (to say the least!). Stay off the tables for a while and enjoy the college life. Then when you're ready, grind it out and get that 100k back.

I'm really not sad about this, maybe it hasn't hit me yet. I went out last night and had a good time and it was like nothing changed. I guess I can lose 100k without it really affecting my life too much right now. I have 15k online right now, I guess I'll take a break for a few days and end up grinding it back or borrowing some money or something. My parents are visiting this w/e, I'm gonna talk to them about it all. I already told them.

I'm not really the type of kid to just do okay at things. I'm getting sick at doing okay at poker, and okay at school. It might seem dumb right now, but now more than ever I'm considering taking a semester off, from either school, or poker. I'll update after I talk to my dad, probably tonight. He already said he thinks taking a semester off will be a mistake, cuz he thinks I won't come back. But he knows I'm mature and knows I can make my own decisions and said he's fine with whatever I chose.

No offence, but that comment is just either complete bullshit, r you are a complete moron.

I know it aint the 2nd one.

Thats a fucking house you just lost, or a sportscar, or alot of hookers and blow to dumb it down for the less intellectual readers.

To take chances and make it big you have to lose sometimes and learn from it. I thought they were just chips when your playing poker? It is a lot of money but what can you do about it now? Learn and move and on. I am actually impressed if this doesn't put him on life tilt. It shows a lot I think. I know I sure as hell be on life tilt from it.

[eejit101]

If it doesnt put him on "lifetilt" how will he learn from it?? How will he realise the value of money?
