hahaha - Score!

Question: Is the $300 offer still valid for the rest of the month, or were you only paying once?

[JDMcNugent7]

Valid until Nov. 30th.

[Gordogg]

gay, like boobie needs the money.

[Boobie Lover]

I'm going to donate the $300 to that bad beat on cancer.

[Gordogg]

donate it to a tp forum freeroll
lol

or donate it to the Gordogg backing/loan fund in the backing section. Fwalgman said so.

[JDMcNugent7]

[Penguinfan]

Big props to you my man.

Good karma coming your way.

[Talking Poker]

Awesome.

[Penguinfan]

Get it right, come on, you've been at it long enough.

[bunny]

That's really a sweet & generous thing to do. I'd give you a hug, but a +rep will have to do.

On behalf of all cancer survivors and their families, I thankyou.

Made correction to above post.

Was boobie being serious?? if so, nh sir

I actually believed JD wouldnt take a shot at it. My faith was misplaced.

However, he made like $5k at that one table i saw, so does he care?

[Boobie Lover]

Unlike other individuals that lie to make themselves look more impressive on the Internet, I did donate as I said I would.

[Talking Poker]

Classic eejit.

No need for me to respond to the first line, as Boobie already has that covered. nh, Boobie.

But for the rest, YES, he should care. Your statement is a fine example of being results oriented about poker. Just because something works out doesn't mean you made the correct decision. Even if you win the pot after calling a massive all in bet preflop with 72o and suck out on your opponents AA, you don't get to pat yourself on the back and say how great of a play you made. The same goes for things like this. If this was important enough to JD to actually set a goal about it AND he had so little self control that he placed a bounty on his head in hopes that would deter him from doing this, and then he STILL failed to meet said goal, then yes, I think he should care, even if he ended up winning money at the table. I'm sure you (eejit) don't see it, but there are signs here of a potential gambling problem, if not one that is already in full swing.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I have no idea how people can not meet goals that are along the lines of "Don't do ______." If you can't NOT do something (along these lines, anyway), then you have no self control and really need to step back and examine the bigger picture. IMO.

JD - I hope you aren't taking this as a shot at you, because it's not meant to be that. But yes, I do have some concerns about all of this, and I don't think it would be right for me not to voice them, just because you are a winner. shabi's posts in this thread () are spot on. IMO, you've got a little SWA in you. Brain's SWAness is just more obvious, because his involves him blowing his entire roll over and over again. Yours is a little harder to see, because you are a (big) winning player and you manage to stop yourself before things get too far out of control. But the SWAness is still there, and to deny it would be lying to yourself and potentially a very costly mistake someday down the road... Accept it, learn to deal with it, and hopefully overcome it.

^^ This is a smart person.

Nice post TP.

[Tony Cheval]

Very nice, Boobie. And I love the avatar.

[BrianSwa]

very good post TP and yea pretty much agree with all the swa stuff you said, since all my blowups I have learned to control myself to a point. Do I have a gambling problem? most would say yes, myself I don't really know....maybe. I think JD just loves to gamble which is exactly what I used to feel, lately though the gamble part has gone away and the controlling my bankroll has set in.


I actually do have a suggestion in all this though, I think you should take out alot of your bankroll and leave just enough in to say play 2/4 NL and at end of each week withdraw. So lets say you want to stay at the level 2/4 NL you need 20 buyin for that so that would be 8k right? OK so end of week take out all the money over 8k, this is what Chuck and I plan on doing with our bankrolls but we are playing at much smaller scale and playing limit.


something BB said awhile ago rings true, I used to say how bored I was playing low limits and he said it shouldn't matter what level Imam playing with as long as I'm playing, playing poker is playing poker no matter what level you are at. I actually don't have any money on line right now and like I said earlier this month I don't want to play until next month and I'm sticking to that and wont deposit till beginning of next month but when I do deposit I will be playing real low limit like $1-$5 and $3 re-buys, $3 re-buy satties, .25/.50 limit ( yes I said limit, I like this game its easy and with my $600 bankroll I'm well bankrolled for it) I will never go broke playing this level and poker is poker right?

I hope to one day show that I'm not the same SWA player I was in the past but I'm man enough to admit that I earned that name from my past.

[JDMcNugent7]

look at that, sit down and win 5k and donate $300 cancer, im awesome.

Actually, I'm totally kidding cuz im a big loser at 25/50. It's horrible that I even play it and really the only time I do is when I'm having a significant losing day and my brain decides to think like an idiot and try to win it all back fast.

ive been real pissed at myself for this for real. it really is just completely ridiculous i cant hold a goal for a month. i think i have a gambling problem when im down alot of $, but all other times I think much clearer and wouldnt think of playing 25/50. I havent played really at all the last 2 days and I'm not sure I'm going to for awhile. I don't like losing $.
