This is why it's important to have a job, or some other income to supplement playing Poker.

With that mindset, you're now the scared money at the table.

One thing is for sure w these stakes, nothing scares me. Lol. I’m buying in for max and playing anything, but scared lol.

So I shd get a job that supplements my poker job? Makes zero sense to me. What u shd b saying is get ur ass in a poker seat and stay there as long as possible. Nah, im cool w just poker and being #semiretired.

Nobody will bother recommending the bolded because the chances of that happening are basically 0.

If you're asking me, what you should be doing is ditching the poker fantasy and get some full time work. You have some creative talents which are going to waste.

If you wish to prolong the poker fantasy then a halfway house option is to have something to supplement your winnings / losses in Poker.

I did also say that in those hugely fishy games which you recently got destroyed in that you should not be picking up your chips and walking away because you lose a few hands. Those are the games you want to be in and the players you make money from. Although history has shown that you'll take the opportunity to quit the minute you can book a win for the day just to post about having a win.


@masq I hv no poker fantasy. I’m no poker fanboy or seek no thrill. I play because it beats the alternative.


Remember when you were a millionaire?

Remember when you were a millionaire?

barely. It was such a short time period.
I’m sure u know exact dates tho.


23 hrs and we will hv more hours than last month.
Shooting for 80 and not much more.

@mastaaces, “Had fun losing 1k” was sarcasm. “Quads was funny” was sarcasm.The roll is weak: I’m taking my chances here and there w spewing whales and hillbillies from the holler. Can’t take punch after punch at the moment. Duckn and weavn to stay in the fight.I’ll hv more hours this month than last. Next month I’ll hv more hours than this one. Lfg. Keep showing up. #noquit #

At least those 'hillbillies' from the holler don't have to get on their knees and ask another man to work on their own property ...


@Dudfman not sure what ur trying to say but just say it.

Landscaped around court some yesterday. Working a small garden that will consist of: Strawberries, Blackberries.
Kale, Romaine, Jalapeños, Bells, Red/while onions, Tomatoes.
Open to other suggestions.
Gonna go w 3 4'x8' raised garden beds (per hoa), so room is limited. Threw some Peat moss on the beds yesterday. First time gardener, but why not.
Need some overalls

Gonna grind Sunday thru Friday. 6 day straight w results each day. 23 hours till we hv more hours logged this month than last. Keep that trend going until end of year.


just stick a basketball hoop in the middle of the vegetable garden, call it the 2nd half of the court, boom, now your veggie garden can be as big as you damn please


Trying to get some hot topics going at the table. Brought up politics to stir the pot.
It’s creating some action I feel.

Toss the line and let them start biting.
In for $400

It is unclear if you are saying that hero has to beg HOA Daddy for hero to be able to build on this own land or if hero is begging bagz to help hero build on his own land. Either way, it seems like there is plenty of stuff to rag on hero for - this just doesn't seem like one of the better ones.

Interesting strat, hero, on bringing up politics. I think if a table is going well bringing up politics is a bad idea, but I guess the opposite is also true - where if the table is super nitty maybe bringing up politics can open it up a bit.


I asked an interesting mind, Jimmy seat 4, who he thinks will b president. Just a little toss to the middle of the lake. One thing led to another…

Tomorrow we gonna ask bout abortion.

+635 little over 4 hours.
Need 19 more hours to beat the game within the game.



Be sure to put trans issues in the mix.


ask them if they got a bj from a trans and didn't know they were trans if that means they are secretly gay - be sure to clarify that you're asking for a friend so they don't think it's a question about yourself


gay with two exceptions: prison and Thailand


Banning firearms.

That should be a good one.

It looks like you have your next 3 sessions covered, but I'd add in Palestine vs Israel AND asking someone their thoughts on immigration.


i like the stor the pot strat.

i'm sure you could get some tilt going by discussing what involvement Ukraine had in the recent Moscow terrorist attack.


3hrs 25 mins . +472
Need 15 more hours to keep the trend going. *Trend more hours current month than previous


At the table, figured out how many hours (based on current hourly) wd hv to log each month to tackle goal. Will update eom.


Early in sesh this morning and very little knowledge on tablemates.

Look down at 107ss in lj and make it $10 after 1 limp utg from a top 10 tightest players in the room. The random players in blinds both call.
*Never played w either players from the blind and very little info to go on.
Sb $300
Bb $500
Utg tight $600
Hero 7s10s $400

Pot $40 4 way
Flop: 2d4s6s
The more cautious of the 2 random players in the blind leads right out for $25. Bb calls. Top 10 tightest calls. After mulling over a raise option w my draw, decide just on a call. Didn’t want to balloon the pot just yet as I felt a lot of strength from all players.

Pot $130 Still 4 way.
Turn: 8s

Checked to me. We make the flush here and double gutted to super nuts. Fire $60 for value.
Sb ch/calls w his hand. Bb looks at my stack for bit and then ch/raises all in. Top 10 tightest folds. Action on me.

Villain: all I can say is a thick gold chain. Flannel shirt, dipping in a cup, mid 40s white, straddled $10 a couple times on his button. Haven’t seen any hands played from him that wd give me a better assessment on the situation.

$300ish to call.
What’s the play?


Fold preflop, probably fold flop and fold turn, if thats a serious question


Situation kinda sucks because sometimes SB is trapping with the nuts.


we need to know what their opinions were on gun control and abortion before we can respond
