-100k

No.

100k obviously means something to him.
Just not enough to put him on "life-tilt" or anything close to it
besides, when someone loses 100k, they might as well find a place to vent on it. I don't get how this is "Seriously dude WTF" at all...

It dosent need to put you on tilt but it need to accomplish something or you need not to play. JD has no job so his poker money he has right now is what he uses, he built it from nothing. I dont know how much he has total but he says he has 15k left online, I dont know if the 100k +15k is his bankroll but I will assume it is. So he just lost 90% of his bankroll playing in a game he should not of been at. Now if he has other money aside then thats different.

If you can lose 100k and 90% of you bankroll and it accomplishes nothing and teaches you nothing then that is sad. Now I have busted money out over and over but I have the ability to put more on if I want to, I dont think JD has that ability. If he is playing the games he should be at his bankroll should not take 100k swings, he does not have a 1.5 million dollar bankroll to be sitting at this game. again maybe im totally wrong and he has 1.4 million sitting in his dorm room, in that case 100k no biggie.

for JD to say he was not even sad about it is pretty sick, not because of the money but because of the % of his bankroll he lost. Not saying he need to tilt and be all depressed and whatever else is involved in a "life tilt" but he does need to sit down and learn from this.

What happened to not posting here anymore? For the 50th fucking time?

Im very selective of the posts I decide to post in, I have known JD for a long time and felt posting in this thread was worth it. I also enjoy posting in the HA section because its a great learning tool for others along with myself. I shy away from the drama filled posts like EEjit's and the general section in general.

You end up looking like a giant douche when you repeatedly say you're going to do something and never stick to it.

No shit. Brian even sucks at quitting.

Seriously, am I the only one cringing reading bankroll management advice from Brian??? Ugh.

And I know, I know - you're not "back." You're just posting in that one thread and then that one section and then in this other section and then in that one there too and then ok, everywhere except for eejit drama threads, but YOU ARE NOT BACK! Whatever, dude. Worst... quitter... EVER!

As for the JD situation, I don't think JD lost 90% of his roll. I suspect he COULD redeposit if he wanted to, but I also don't think he wants to do that (nor do I think he should, since he obviously still has serious discipline issues).

And to those trying to say they are just chips, yeah, that's true to some extent, but that's also a really stupid way to look at poker. You MUST factor in bankroll management when deciding how many of those chips to put on the table in the fiurst place. Extreme example: Would it be a good idea to remortgage your house, max out all your credit cards, borrow money from everyone you know, get a loan at the bank, sell all your possessions and then put that total sum of money on the table in a very high stakes game where you have 1-200 BBs? Should you then just consider those chips, and not money? Um, no.... that's retarded.

Now I'd like to end this post with a quote I read somewhere once... if only I could remember where:

"Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret."

lol at thinking 100k is 90% of JDs bankroll and "knowing him for a long time"

PShabi · #8 11-10-07, 02:20 AM

lol at 90% of the shit Brian has posted on this forum since it started

stormswa · #9 11-10-07, 02:24 AM

well this seems like its heading in direction that is not good for thread so I will stop it here. Thanks for input Phil.

Talking Poker · #10 11-10-07, 02:38 AM

Wait.

Did I miss 10% of his posts?

stormswa · #11 11-10-07, 02:21 AM

I said I wasnt positve mayhem and I was assuming and yes since I was here when he started on talking poker and that is when most/all of us were introduced to him Id say thats a long time.

if thats not a good portion of his bankroll then I stand corrected, I dont dig that much into JD's life I was just going by incomplete information Mayhem.
