DAAAMN AEQ Man you gotta post, or else TP will need to change your forum name. Bring it resident asshole.

Gordon has it right. Let me ask you this. If you sit at a table of 5/10, and you put $250 down and you lose it. Do you think, "Man, I just lost a car payment?". No you think oh well, my bankroll dipped a little. If I thought of my money as "money" I would never want to play anything. All having fun aside, I do not think it is healthy to see your bankroll as a mortgage payment or a car payment. (Even though $300 covers neither of those things in Boston). I think it leads to playing scared. Just my opinion. Now, I am not saying my way is totally right either, seeing it as nothing at all. I can compartmentalize things though. If I take $5 from my bankroll, run it up to $300, and try and run it up to $1K I can deal with that. It only effects my bankroll -5$ and possibly effects it +1K which allows me to play games that mean more to me on a consistant and more bankroll safe way.

The update for the night. Cash Games Good / MTTs Bad. I played in 3 of them tonight. The closest I came for the night was 45th place. I flopped 2 pair, J6 and pushed. A8 calls. Turns and ace for the trips. Ouch. Oh well. I played it the best way I could. The very next hand my pair of tens ran up against aces.

On the good side I made over $50 in cash games, so it paid for all the MTTs and then some. I got on a nice .25/.50 NL table and scored $30 quickly. I also scored another few bucks at another table. I then played a heads up match with a blogger and smoked him for a nice $20 profit.

Will update you all tomorrow night.

Car payment ...OK....MORTGAGE in Boston = $300 dollars??? That a really nice cardboard box?

Are you in Boston? I live out in Marlboro...

[SirFWALGMan]

I am just outside of Boston, right by RT90, and yes, $300 buys you a SMALL cardboard box in this state! You ever go to Foxwoods and play Poker? I really need to play live!

2 Tone and ChipFish

Just to clarify-
ur right i was asking about deposting options- and the reason i had to ask is bcuz i never have before- and i still havent since they wouldnt accept directly through visa.
I started off winning off freerolls, recently cashed out about $4,000. Left myself with $1,000 online and lost it in like 3 days. (down to $17) but now im back to $126 and still havent invested any money.

Just clarifying -, if i were u guys i would think i had invested $ as well but i honestly havent, and im also not saying its a great feat or anything, i am somewhat proud of it but dont think its anything amazing.
