Professional gambler
Do you have any other questions for BIG DICK?
Professional Gambler, that is code for deadbeat. You sit in your boxers all day surfing poker games, I mean how the fuck do you explain that to anyone at your wife's Christmas party? I guarantee people will hear what you do for a living and stare blankly and excuse themselves immediately. Professional Gambler, lol, it's called 'I can't get a job'
SMALL DICK WE STILL HAVE A HU MATCH U POS THIS GUY CANT PLAY
DISHDAFISH
Don't know how he's doing these days, but in 2010 when I could track this sort of thing via pokertableratings, big dick was winning a lot on Bodog in the 5-10 game there.
He used to hate me because I would bumhunt those games, not realizing at first that such a practice was frowned upon in the NL community. (In limit, bumhunting was always seen as acceptable, so I seriously didn't realize people would get pissed.)
I knew that he beat the NL games and he knew I beat the limit games because everyone was using pokertableratings back then to size up the competition.
big dick hated me with a passion but did know who I was in real life, until many years later when he came to PFA and I mentioned my Bodog name.
I did try to get him to sit at 30-60 limit holdem when he talked shit to me in the NL games, but he wouldn't bite.
Well to be fair, that was 10 years ago, so he could be broke now.
99% of all "professional poker players" are broke, usually because they leak in the pits or sports betting, variance is mind numbing. You are an exception but I think you will even admit you went on a heater at the right time, circa 2005-08 and stayed away from the pits and saved your money.
I cannot think of a worse lifestyle than grinding out a living at a $5 NL game day in and day out. I remember like yesterday, and it was 15 years ago, sitting next to a guy in the Hooters poker room (which is a joke). He was in year #2 of being a pro poker player. He was lamenting how his wife left him, he quit his teaching job, and was down to his last $20,000 after a roll of nearly $200,000. Yes, I felted him with pocket 7s for a cool $400. Went and got some wings and a pitcher of CL.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 on Thursday that President Donald Trump's accountants must turn over his tax returns to a Manhattan grand jury — a bitter defeat for the president, who fought hard to keep the details of his personal finances private.
Market sold off instantly.
Maybe you were wrong ‘tine
I realize I evaded your question.
I’m watching the real world.
Carry on
Sanlmar, when did you turn into an orange man bad NPC?
This is an easy one.
Here are my bona fides:
Life long Republican. Voted for Trump. Positively hated Hillary. Was alive during the Clinton years. Liked Bill more than Hillary even then. It was obvious she was the evil ring leader in all their issues dating back to Arkansas.
The tipping point were the daily Corona press conferences. The 2 hour free form rambles were not a good look for him. The longer he spoke he revealed just how truly stupid he was. One afternoon early on I’m going “what the fuck” and every subsequent day just reinforced my take.
He is shady and all that. We all sorta knew. All modern politicians are. He revealed himself to me as profoundly and unquestionably STUPID and thus dangerous.
I hope that answers your question.
So you will vote for Biden who does not have his mental faculties? The extreme left will take over policy in this country because Weekend at Bernie Joe Biden is totally mentally defeated. I personally have plenty of money, so I don't give a shit, I will just sit back and watch 70% taxes and double digit unemployment for a decade. LOL if you think Joe Biden is the answer, his leftist VP will call the shots, probably that lunatic Senator from California. Enjoy, all this because you don't like Trump's press conferences, what a lemming. But here again the Kardashians made a fortune out of optics so it is what it is.
also trump is going full meltdown on twitter over this. i guess he didn't read tgull's post about this being a win for him.
When it was time to pull the lever in 2016 he was preferable and he had Republican branding. I NEVER watched his television show. I really never paid much attention to him. I hate career politicians so Trump had that going for him too.
I was never a political junky. It’s like sports for some guys. I was absent from the gladiator matches in the Trump thread. Not my bag.
I overlooked Trump’s transition. Ignored a lot of his White House staff betrayals, prison, and shenanigans. It was still preferable to Hillary I suppose. Right? The impeachment hearings were a real test.
I’m getting into the Trump Roy Cohn years by now. Having fun. Shaking head.
It’s like a remedial class with you. The corona press conferences were a tipping point. It was when his sub normal IQ or education or both revealed itself plainly. I just couldn’t take it anymore.
Yeah, the coming unemployment and the taxes. The House, Senate and White House triple play. That’s on him. Biden isn’t going to beat him. Trump will beat Trump.
Oddly, that the Democrats will sweep just increases my hatred for the man. Trump will set back the Republican Party for a decade or more.
You got roped into the CNN talking points and focus on his press conferences. His policies have been great, justice picks, regulation reform, etc.. He might get clipped due to the virus, but any incumbent would be taking it on the chin now since people always blame the President for their financial peril. My guess is though Trump will eek it out in the end. Even you will likely pull the handle for Trump when all said and done, because you know the AOC alternative will be much worse as Biden will be near full blown dementia this time next year. In the mid 80s Reagan never made a decision it was those around him which is why the progressives are salivating. Like I said, I got my monies, so don't give a shit.
I don’t watch any of those info-tainment stations. That’s you and Druff. If you asked me to label the 3 or 4 of them liberal or conservative I’d prolly get one wrong. I don’t even watch CNBC.
The truth is come Nov my vote won’t matter as my state is the land of Kennedy..... and Warren.. god I hate that phony.
I’ll be honest though.... and this surprises even me. Maybe the Democrats will be good for the people who are going to be in need. Right party for the times?
For example, I paid every nickel for one of my kid’s college. That’s a huge six figure nut. When I heard Sanders wanted to dismiss student loans I’m like, “what the fuck?” How is that fair? What if a family took out their 401k to pay for college and the kid sitting next to them gets a free government ride?
I gotta admit I’m softening. We laid off some people and they are going to struggle. Lotta people are going to have a tough time. The low level service workers got hurt first but the next wave is coming. United Airlines is fixed to lay-off 36,000? The details are unimportant.
There is going to be a need for fiscal help. The housing thing is a bomb. I skimmed some stats this morning about the percentage of people who have already moved as a result of COVID. Shocked me. It’s like forebearance didn’t exist. I will try to find an article later.
Hope the modern monetary theory people are right.
I’m getting old and soft.
This post had me make a funny association and it was a good maintenance reminder
Your water heater has a anode rod. It’s sometimes called a Sacrificial Anode Rod. The idea is that it rusts more quickly than the lining of your hot tank. It sacrifices itself so your basement doesn’t get flooded.
Druff and tgull sacrifice themselves so that we can blow off some steam instead of kicking the dog. Score some empty net goals and feel like a hero.
I gotta replace my anode rod.
Thanks for your sacrifice Druff.
My grandfather was a staunch conservative until he retired. Then at the age of 62 he became very progressive. I am not sure why, he despised George HW Bush and he and my father, both dead now would get into arguments all the time about politics. Looking back it was fairly funny, not so much at the time. Not sure your deep seeded issues why you are siding with the left wings, might be cognitive I suppose. I am entering my mid 40s now and I have some memory issues now so not judging your mental state. I left my laundry in the dryer for two days, that's a problem.
am i the only person tho thinks its weird that trump is trying to scaremonger about 401ks 'going to zero' when maybe 10% of his base have more than a paycheck in the bank, much less a 401k?
401Ks are like cancer. When you hear your 401K is going down you freak out. When you hear you might have cancer you freak out. It's just the way it is. I had a bump on my head which was burned off a few months ago, yeah I freaked out. Naturally it was negative and I am thriving now out of control, but I get it where people get nervous.
