Talking big scores... what's your biggest loss?

Guess I’m a faggot. I’ve never lost more than 5K in a day.

I am amazed with how some people who I know aren’t bankrolled for it will rebuy into a game or reload at a table for five figures plus. Shut it down - always a game next week.

There is a upside to having a good line of credit. Easy to have a good line when the people you working with know you are only getting in so deep in a given week and they Know they going to get paid. When you have a rep as a sharp player you absolutely need to have a rock solid reputation. You need to have the house know that if you lose you are guaranteed to pay otherwise there is zero chance they will take action. They will give credit to anyone when they know they going to lose in the long run - it’s a feee roll. When it’s 50/50 at best for the house you can’t have them second guess.

That is easier said then done for most. At Planet Hollywood I literally took three credit cards and maxed out the cash advance portion for 20 large. Then of course I had all those cash advance fees waiting for me the next day. On top of that my money market was in a different bank so I had to wire the money to my checking account, which took 5 days before I could pay off the cards which added a couple extra hundred bucks in interest. It was a horrendous loss.

I get your point, why not just stop. When you get stuck and have an addictive personality it's easier said than done.

I was at Lollapalooza in 2018 and met up with this super fucking cute and chill 17yr old twink who I met off Grindr. He wanted us to hangout a bit so I was like cool, and like 15-20 minutes later he was like where you wanna hookup and I was like there's an empty porta potty there and he wasn't into that and I was like do you have any other ideas and he drew a blank.

We parted ways and I never met up with him again.


Until this 5 week relationship I had pre covid this was my biggest loss in regards to fucking since I don't lose money in casinos like you degens.

Get a hotel room or something. Portapotty jesus christ. On the bright side, you'd have an easy way to dispose of the santorum.

Geez, I’m not even remotely in your guy’s league. Other than tournaments, I’ve never lost or won more than $5000 in a session.

I guestimate I am probably down a half million in losses. $500 here, $500 there over two decades adds up. I've done myself no favors in this pandemic with online horse racing even though I was up early on. But the cruise was the worst. Being stuck $25K with 5 days to go is fucking awful. I did get laid by a random skank so there is that, definitely wore a condom, she had a tramp stamp on her lower back and she allowed a random to fuck her so you know she had been penetrated many, many of times. Her name was Carmella. She was about 5.5 and a buck forty. Definitely did not look good in a bathing suit.

After 25 years, I am modestly in the black in both tournaments and cash games. As I have said before, I attribute a lot of that to game selection and discipline, not my brilliant poker skills. For example, I believe I am a small favorite in the 40/80 limit hold’em games at Commerce, but I almost alway play 20/40, because that is in my comfort zone. Nothing wrong with “moving up and taking your shot” to get better, but make sure your bankroll is up to the challenge.
