he said when he sat with 100k it felt like "chips".

He cant think like that, for the following reasons....

1. JD has no job.
2. JD is in college, and is not top of every class.
3. JD has 115k online and "wont deposit anymore"
4. $100k is $100k, to anyone thats a shit load of money.
5. He isnt bankrolled for it.
6. When losing it, it hasnt affected his plans or life at all???
7. If JD wants a huge headstart in life in general, to get whatever house/car/job he wants, and to maybe play poker as a job, i dont know, he cant afford to lose this amount of cash in a daft attempt to "hit a quick score"
8. More to the point, and the best point is - thats 85% of his bankroll.....


JD has what... 800k proifit from poker? THats now 700k. If he takes mroe shots at 300/600 its gonna be much much less.

All im sayiong is play sensibly, and he has the BEST lifestyle possible for a kid his age??

Im advising him that if losing 100k means nothing, then dont play, as spending 100k on something meaningful that will assist his life is a damn good plan, not blowing it becuase he is bad at ignoring the feelings to take big shots.
