Started with a $1/$2nl challenge, now we're here.
😮WARNING!! IMA 2+2 VIRGIN!! FIRST DAY AT THIS!! FIRST THREAD!!
The Goal is Simple - $40k in One Year (
does it, though? if memory serves me (and it certainly may not lol) I feel like you made around 50k in like 10 months with back yard creations?
Yes it does.
$50k is prob gd estimate. Never perfected it and didn’t want the interactions, responsibility, or reliability. Just a Covid thing, but poker >osc all day. Poker > everything all day. In poker, it just fits the family schedule so well. So flexible and I’m in control of my own destiny. Either I play A+ and keep the house, or I don’t. Gotta perform.
Still looking to invent a product. If that day comes, poker cd b on a back burner. Haven’t found any gd inventions worth pursuing so far
Most inventions or new products that you could possibly come up with are going to require more “interactions, responsibility, or reliability” (which you said you don’t want) than you have ever dreamed of.

Didn’t want the “interactions, responsibility, or reliability” w osc. Cd deal w all that if come up w a perfect product. Thought of many, but nothing perfect. Always been a dream of mine, but can’t think of the next George Foreman or Scrub Daddy lol
Nice job on the running! Best thing I can tell you is just go slow. Keep your pace slow for now (be able to have a conversation while you run), slowly increase your weekly mileage. To train for a 10K I wouldn’t exceed 25 miles/week. Your conversational pace will naturally get faster and once you get to March or so you can start incorporating once a week faster tempo r

Took @flpkr advice this evening. Personal long at a slow pace. #iamnotarunner
Ate wheat noodles w Rao’s sauce for dinner. Seeing the rest of family add the sausage and eating the breadsticks was a taunt.
I’ve worked as a trainer for 7 years.
You really going to cause metabolic chaos. Your body is going to use muscle as fuel at a certain point.
No good nutrition and workout plan involves fainting.
as long as we're all piling on.
idk. its hard to tell how much is legitimate vs exaggerated re the fainting. you really like to present your life within the context of a narrative particularly you overcoming hardship and adversity. but like your life has been pretty easy man. you jammed all in into a metaverse alt coin during a speculative mania because your son was 1 of 1200 daily users and made enough money not to have to work for 5 years. over the course of a 10 year thread you've probably played idk 5000? hours while identifying as a poker pro and maybe another 800 doing manual labor. that isn't really struggle lol
all of the weird random competition and challenges seem to me to be in place of accepting that you don't really have a purpose in life. it's pretty clear poker isn't that for you. you also don't seem to have much financial incentive / necessity to play. you don't seem remotely motivated to get better, make more money, move up, or play more hours. you're going to spend more money than you've extrapolated making with an entirely unrealistic winrate / amount of hours played and seem to take some kind of perverse pleasure in doing everything in your power to sabotage your "career". you grinding out rent money while short rolled every month at low stakes nl for eternity (i understand you're rolled now but predict your liquid cash 6 months from now based on winnings / spending) isn't proving anything to the haters, its just wasting your time. the guy earlier who said you don't seem to enjoy poker i think has a point too. from the outside you just seem to do it because you don't know what else to do with your life and don't want to figure it out. that'd probably be ok if you had like 4 million but you have 400k (tied up in equity in a house) and spend what seems to me to be reasonably close to 100k a year.
most likely, despite all the back up against the wall rhetoric and how you will be homeless if you dont make this 30k work, you are going to bust your liquid cash midway through the year and heloc again because time is a flat circle. hopefully it coincides with low / 0 rate environment and we can run the entire thread back
Should have asked this in prior post, you may have listed it and I missed it. Do you know your base metabolic rate ? Adding strength training and eating closer to your BMR would help you achieve goals way healthier and faster !
@submersidd I can’t really get on board w anything u said. Appreciate the post, but disagree w most. <—— that was what I was getting ready to post. But, read again, mayb and ur more right than wrong.
What wd u call myself. My neighbors been asking what I do? Do I say…
A) poker player?
B) own some rental properties and flat out lie.
*usually my go to to avoid the poker talk.
C)Day Ttader?
D)investor & Entrepeneur?
E)semiretired off binking crypto and poker?
Seriously, I never know. Ty again for the long post. Wish more wd post here. Trying to b as smart as possible. Learned a lot here and cd help for that next invention.
you aren't really any of those things though. you recreationally play poker a few times a week and have gone out of your way to approach it as unseriously as possible. you don't actually own rental properties, you had one 6 unit apartment building 10 years ago that you sold to gamble on stocks and buy a house lol. you had a small spurt of day trading where it seems like you tilt chased all of your money during an awful macro / rates period because you were upset that you had less money than a year ago. you definitely aren't an investor, you don't have any assets except 50% of 50% of a house you can't afford and some sports cards.
the semi retired thing is the weirdest part of your identity though and i think it's why so many people in this thread have tried to talk to you. you're acting like a 20 year old where 300k is all of the money in the world. you have an ok nest egg but nowhere close to retirement / do nothing for the rest of your life / fu money. even if you were a single guy you wouldn't have nearly enough money to live off of forever. the fact you got 3 kids, a wife, and impulse control / materialism (self esteem tbh) issues means you probably have 4-5 years until you have literally no money (assuming you pull the equity out of the house) at the rate you're going. like you can post a million random challenges in the thread that you take super seriously for 72 hours and drop the next week - im going to day trade!, im going to be a poker pro!, im going to lose 30 pounds!, im going to be a runner!, im going to be a pickleball court builder!, im going to collect all the rookie cards!, im going to buy a tesla!, im going to buy a rivian! but you just seem to be in denial about the state of your life. you don't need challenges to force yourself to work, you are going to have to do something to make money at some point in the very near future.
instead you just keep trying to come up with these wishful thinking lotto mentality type things - im going to be a day trader (anything less than a million dollar position is boring to me!), im going to be a poker pro, im going to invent something, where you stumble into a huge pile of money with zero effort. you dont really seem keen on putting in work into any of them and just fantasize that they will work out. its like something a child does lol. i get that that mentality worked out for you with the mana trade, but i cannot stress enough how much luck was involved in that. you had absolutely 0 risk management and put all of your money into an "asset" you didn't understand (literally zero regard for price / tokenomics / general market trends and pretty much no real knowledge or experience in crypto) and managed to return a 5x on your net worth over like a 3 week period during peak speculative fever / crypto bubble / 0 interest rate environment. that isn't replicatable and was an awful decision that worked out well. pretty good evidence of that is how much you gave back on the back end between xlm / the day trading debacle last year. its the poker equivalent of winning an mtt and deciding to quit your job and go pro.
idk i know alot of this is unsolicited but you just seem lost from the outside. its obvious poker isn't really the answer for you to anyone thats objective. you dont actually do anything that pros do and go out of your way to not have a schedule, play bad hours, cap your upside to an unsustainable earn by refusing to try to move up past 1/3, don't study, drink before / while you play (especially during shots!), not talk about strategy or try to learn and follow current trends, and hit and run to preserve your ego. you don't have the disicpline imo to be in a cash intensive business. look how quickly you've torched your net worth whenever you've had access to piles of money in the past on dumb things. if you're looking for more recent evidence, buying a single 2k dog while you claim to be in back against the wall me vs the world i have to make this 30k last forever mode would be ridiculous. the fact you bought two when your family didn't even want that so you could get more attention or a better story for this thread or whatever it is that guides your decision making process is sheer insanity.
anyways idk man. i know this doesn't really answer your question of what you should call yourself but maybe its worth thinking about. sorry if its annoying, i wouldn't have posted a follow up if you didn't respond to the first one.
Everything in that post is entirely correct but none of it will be seriously listened to.
What are the odds that hero is trolling us and actually inherited a couple million or hit the lottery/stocks/crpyto/cards/rental property harder than we think and he is doing the old jean-robert bellande "i swear I'm broke" while buying expensive things?

I think it's legit.
But I am a sucker 😆
@submerside thats why im giving the multiple choice. I really dont know what to tell the neighbors.
Cd go w ‘semiretired’ since only been avg 20hrs/wk since lifetime of this thread.
Anyways I got a 24hr ban today, so we home chilling w 2 puppies. Before I left, went to hotel fitness center and got in a 45 min workout. #freemembership
Then we got a salad for the road. Gonna remove all tomatoes, keep 1/4th of the cheese, 2/5th of the chicken, 1/2 of fat free Italian.
lol at casually mentioning a ban and then not sharing why it happened/poker results
you're a lottery winner, rayz. when someone ask, that is 100% the most appropriate/honest response. let that sink in. I mean seriously, take a step back, look yourself in the mirror, and swallow that one.
Trainer tries to give advice yesterday you blow him off. You have no idea what you are doing to yourself, but decided however you get to 146 this is great! It isn’t. You are not eating all the chicken why? Or the tomatoes or anything else? Because saving 100 calories will do what for you? I thought pickle ball court was the measure of insanity. But it keeps going. I have no doubt you get to 146, however you are too lazy to do it the right way. The story of this whole thread is laziness until you give yourself meaningless challenges where you work as dumb and hard as possible for your “goals” for a minute until you find a new one.
@larrythelegend I’ll disagree w most of that.
It’s cool tho.

You can disagree with the truth but it is still the truth.

Very unlikely he would be playing the lowest stakes possible if he has that much $$$. Running out the clock until he receives an inheritance is a possibility though.

Tell them the truth, you are the third best poker player in the world. No need to b humble.

Spot on. Won the lottery multiple times and squandered it. Currently squandering his health and family.
Butterly do your thing. Im rooting for you. I think as long as you can always find a job if poker doesnt work out, you'll be fine. Just be honest with yourself and the results. And 140-150lbs at 6ft (if i read correctly) is not overweight in the slightest. I actually think its probably underweight. What some people perceive as success and failure is different for everyone. Some people are negative regardless, no matter what you do, how you look. Ignore them.
@shynepo3 thanks man. For sure I ignore a lot here. They don’t bother me. I actually love it.
These people don’t know me, or how I operate. We different. Some advice i see here im def paying attention, but it’s like 10% 90%ignore.
Hit n ran today. W a record time of 37mins. I ran the whole table during the first dealer down, and got out. Still a little tilted from ongoing poker room saga ****. Didn’t want to play in a mood/not clear headed.
+199 on 37mins #semiretired

Good job extending your run! I would say a good schedule for you right now would be 4x a week, 3 runs of 3 miles and 1 longer run starting at 4.5 miles and extending that longer run slowly each week. After a few weeks extend the daily runs to 3.5 and eventually add a 5th day if you feel up to it.
