he said when he sat with 100k it felt like "chips".
He cant think like that, for the following reasons.... 1. JD has no job. 2. JD is in college, and is not top of every class. 3. JD has 115k online and "wont deposit anymore" 4. $100k is $100k, to anyone thats a shit load of money. 5. He isnt bankrolled for it. 6. When losing it, it hasnt affected his plans or life at all??? 7. If JD wants a huge headstart in life in general, to get whatever house/car/job he wants, and to maybe play poker as a job, i dont know, he cant afford to lose this amount of cash in a daft attempt to "hit a quick score" 8. More to the point, and the best point is - thats 85% of his bankroll..... JD has what... 800k proifit from poker? THats now 700k. If he takes mroe shots at 300/600 its gonna be much much less. All im sayiong is play sensibly, and he has the BEST lifestyle possible for a kid his age?? Im advising him that if losing 100k means nothing, then dont play, as spending 100k on something meaningful that will assist his life is a damn good plan, not blowing it becuase he is bad at ignoring the feelings to take big shots. |

I don't see the point of you guys getting pissed over this. JD choose to gamble this high. He lost. Life goes on. If he doesn't take crazy shots like this, he would have never have been in the position to lose 100k in a day. If it was me, I would probably be satisfied with "grinding" the 10/20 or 25/50 NL tables, but that's probably the reason why I'm still a low stakes player.
Who cares if 100k is 5% of his bankroll or 100% of his bankroll. It is his money to lose. He is still healthy and with his ability, he can eventually get it back if focuses and has patience. Is it stupid to gamble so high? Probably, but it's not losing 100k that matters now, it's what he's going to about it in the future. |

ur "best point"- that its 85% of my BR, is completely wrong.

I really don't see why this thread is still going...
He lost a bit of money...realized it was probably stupid to go to 300/600, got a bit drunk later, and now is JD > God.

Oh ok. Though I don't plan on re-depositing at all and I highly doubt I will, I do usually count all the liquid $ I have as my bankroll whether it be on Full Tilt or not. It's there and if I ever really wanted it I could have it, I just have always been one to not deposit, when I cash out I really want it to be the last time I ever use that $ for poker.

If I may add one bit of advice... And this has nothing to do with poker... Do NOT...do NOT take a semester off of school. I've seen a lot of friends do this in years past and never make it back. That degree means a lot in the long run.
Good luck. |
