Seems like you guys spend more time talking about money than poker

[SenecaJim]

Dude, don't be so sensitive.

And FWIW, I would wait until I no longer described myself as a fish before I started throwing out Heads-up challenges.

AND don't be offended, I am truly curious in a Keeping-up-sort-of-way, did you really have to go all the way up to 32 to use Thundercat as a Moniker ? I think Barney and Teletubbie are both unused.

I agree. Personally I find myself focusing too much on he money. It should be like 90% poker and 10% money.

Latest, I am succeeding in shifting the focus.

He's got a point about not counting your chickens before they're hatched.


Stick to realistic aspirations. Like turning pro and cashing in the WSOP within 2 years, despite currently being a losing player after 7 months and countless hours of play.

I'm not one of the guys on here yet, so that's okay I'll take the abuse, fine whatever.

That's the way I grew up, tall, skinny, wimpy kid the son of a pastor who taught him to always turn the other cheek.

I've been through countless ridicule, COUNTLESS

That's what I love about life, the whole world can be against you and most times it is. How many great people were told they'd never amount to sh!t before they achieved, too many to name!

Laugh all you want at me, really doesn't matter, I'm not listening

I've come to this site to learn about poker, share thoughts on poker, ask questions, get answers, get answers that I don't agree with but appreciate the point of view.

I don't have time for "catty" fights or to listen to your arrogance.

I'm a loosing player, so hurl your insults at me. I'm sure you never were a loosing player, you skipped right over that hurdle and coasted right into winning, right?

I've been playing 7 months, I should be a loosing player, just be careful, I know I'm a fish, but I'm a Big Fish

In my last 21 tournaments I've made $189 and lost $153, who cares about the $36 profit, how many Fish do you know that keep track of there tournaments? review all of their hands for ways to improve, to second guess themselves?

Also last time I left the Casino, it was with $220, Yes my Pokerstars account is at $0 right now, but tell me what you would have down with pocket Queens and a flop of Q,A,7 turn K, and river a 7??? No matter how you played it you would have gone bust after the flop when you faced a raise, the only move is all in, my opponent just happened to be blessed with AA

prior to that I had taken my $200 in Pstars and doubled it up over the course of 2 weeks.

I'm a break even player right now, just as likely to lose as I am to win, but I think about poker not everyday, nearly every hour.

I challenge you to do the same, and if you want a piece of me, I welcome it, I'll take any and all challengers in another year, I'm not going anywhere

So this is the last time I will answer any of you smart @sses on here.

I never said I would be a finalist at the WSOP in 2 years. I said I would hope to the win the $10k to enter in 2 years, and hope to finish in the money in 5 years, But yeah you're right, I shouldn't have goals

I should just quit and admit that I suck, that's an okay strategy for you, but I never will.

this has to be a gimmick/troll, right?

I would start by not putting my entire bankroll in play. Maybe you should take the time to read some of those "money" threads that you are complaining about.

[TeeJayORTj]

This thread is pure gold. Seven months is a hell of a long time and I am sure players here had 100K+ in there first 7 months in cash games. I believe bicyclekick made a post talking about how he got started in poker...you might want to look that up.

Within 7 months of when I started I was just getting ready to move up to 10/20 6max for good in the next couple weeks. I was up around 20-25K at the 7 month point, and I didnt play that much. In the last 2 months I have played more then I did in my first 6 or 7 months. To say it is standard to be down after 7 months playing as much as you say you did is the sign of someone who is not capable of being a long term winner.Sorry.

You sure are.

Let me know when you're going to Winstar next... I'll be there tuesday and I'll be playing in the 5/10... If you can't beat the game at Winstar, quit poker forever.
