Still Life With an Internet Poker Whore - Hell Weeks Long Ramble

[Synergistic Explosions]

I've almost had it after this week. Whoring for life substanance can be so freaking frustrating! Ahhhhhhhh!

I have to vent! The week started with a sub optimal bankroll due to massive withdrawals for first of the month bills and laziness to plan ahead and whore heavily before then. That came from boredness and extra TV watching. I'm tempted to move this TV away from my whoring office now. Especially when I realized I've been watching the same friggin movies on HBO 5 times over! So I'm a lazy unmotivated whore these days, but thats not my problem entirely.

The week really started with a bang when I lost all my pertinent accounts information and correspondence on my Yahoo mail account. The dregs locked out my account, closed it, banned me, and burned me to the stake! For what you ask? How does one get banned from their Yahoo account? It was all from posting on a stock message board. Someone found my posts warning investors not to invest in what I know to be a scam stock. I gave the reasons and those reasons were the reason I lost my Yahoo account. No big deal to most, since you can immediately open a new one there anyways. But I lost my email account and everything I have is stored there. So I had to change my email address at every fugging site I've ever joined. I lost all my jpeg files I had stored in a folder there to send to sites when asked for ID. It's just a huge hassle and time consuming endeavor. It has cost me monetarily too.

Anyways, I get over this hurdle the best I can. It was depressing and I feel violated. Yahoo wouldn't even let me in to get my important information from my email account. They were uncaring to my plight. They even kept the paid ahead subscription fee's to the sevices I subscribed to there. They said it was in their terms and agreements that they could keep this money. Bastards!

So anyways, I'm pressing now after getting somewhat reorganized again. I try to whore away at a faster level with no success. I can't play low limit ring games anymore it seems. I have no skill it appears. Every hand with no exception goes up in smoke. I'm a loser. In fact, I don't even want to play these stupid low limit ring games anymore because I know the outcome ahead of time. I'm sure Yahoo has snooped into my email account and alerted every site I play on to put the SCREW BUTTON on for me. Fuggin Yahoo!

So as my bankroll dwindles and I have no future aheaad of me I start skimming through my secondary accounts, you know, the ones with a few bucks in them that aren't worth withdrawing. The ones that don't offer reloads so you don't really play them anymore. I found one and entered a free roll and won 80 bucks. Cool, a positive in the midst of this hellish darkness.

Then the mail comes and I receive my free copy of Cardplayer magazine (compliments of Bodog). I see a new online site advertised offering a 10k free roll. I join up and deposit 25 bucks and wait for the tourney. I win $500 in the tourney. Cool! The darkness is lifting, a new dawn is on the horizon I think.

I withdraw the $500 but get a message back I have to play 500 raked hands before withdrawing free roll winnings. No problem. I play them. I email them and they say I need 20 more hands still. No problem, I play another couple hundred and email them and they say I need to now play 30 more hands to qualify for a cashout. My raked hands seem to be going down I email them back. Then no reply. So I wait for reply but never get it. I decide to just do another cashout after playing another couple hundred hands. I figure with a total of 400 hands I must have gotten the 30 hands in, right? We'll see. But I just found a thread on this site that they request massive personal information before cashouts proceed anyways. All my jpeg files are locked away in Yahoo now, so I now realize I have to breakdown and go by a scanner to do this.

So I'm really aggravated again by this new site I joined. I win, but I lose my sanity. So I go back to the site I just won 80 bucks on and decide to hurry and play 250 raked hands to qualify for their 30k free roll. I actually win another 100 or so doing this. I have 220 bucks in this account now from 30. I'm feeling pretty good again. I'm about to withdraw but my mind is spinning from my deep seated depression that hasn't entirely lifted. I see a button on this site that leads to a place they call 'games'. I check it out and it has three different number type games. I go into Keno and goof around. I don't play Keno and I think the odds are very bad. But the games are only .20 cents and I can't withdraw the cents in my account anyways. So I play and win a few bucks. This seems easy I think. So I up it to .50 a game and make a Yei-Bei-Chei pattern on the board with my 12 numbers. That's a Navajo spiritual guy or something. I was on pretty good terms with the Navajos at one time in my life and figure it may bring me luck.

So about two hours later in a now mindless numb state, almost hypnotic at this point, I hit 9 of 12 numbers for 250 bucks! I cashout for 470.

I realize I havent withdrawn enough from Neteller for my bills, so I take out more. I can't seem to build my bankroll. Things wouldn't be bad if I could get my 500 out of this new site, but my hopes for that are dwindling! I have an image of Choice Poker all over again. I'm writing it off for now until they break the silence or figure a way to count raked hands as positive instead of negative.

Oh wait I think, it's past midnight, it's now the first of the month! Woo hoo. Cryptos are calling me. A soft voice. I remember on two of the hourly sites I have money stored away there. A hidden asset I forgot about, a bankroll booster I'm thinking! My depression lessened. Plus free casino money with no risk! My mind races forward on this. I wonder if they have keno there!

I make a new deposit and get my free casino money. I love these sites, free money. Keno it is going to be! But this is a different keno it seems. Some type of jackpot keno. Plus you only get 10 numbers to pick instead of 12. It's really hard to form a Yei-Bei-Chei dude with 10 numbers. I leave off the head, what can I do? After five minutes I lost all my casino bonus. Headless Yei-Bei-Chei's must be bad luck in Navajo lore I realize now.

Oh well, I proceed to multi-table five hours for the hourly poker bonus and cash out. Couldn't win even if I had four aces it seemed.

So I go to interpoker and get the free 90. My new strategy for keno there is to form the head on the Navajo deity but leave the legs off. Dooom again! I now know for sure, this god wants all his limbs and his head for him to bring you luck in Keno! Time to sleep.

A new day! I go to the next Crypto site and see my withdrawal limit is 25 pounds higher than my actual cash balance. Cool. I deposit, get the bonus, and it's all withdrawable. But I must put in the 5 hours first for the poker bonus. I play three hours and am down 55 bucks! River city and I'm the dreg! But I do hit the two black aces on one hand so I'm treading water still. That is a 20 pound bonus, almost 40 bucks. So after losing this hand with the two black aces, I proceed to bust out entirely in the next hand. I lost the 40 buck buyin but still got the 20 pound bonus, at least I hope they give it to me. Wouldn't surprise me though if I don't.

Time to go grocery shopping now. I drive to safeway. My daughters with me. We go to Petsmart first and she buys mice for pets. We then go grocery shopping at Safeway and buy huge amounts of crap. Two grocery carts worth. We go to the car now with our humongous load. But this wouldn't be a week from hell unless the car wouldn't start. Which it didn't. While waiting for what seemed like an hour for a taxi, my daughter gets her mouse from the car. It's dead. She's crying. I didn't know mice could freeze to death, is that possible?

So now it's the next day, I have no car. I'm still depressed. I'm afraid what will happen if I go to a site and play poker. What else can happen I'm thinking? Is a new aggravation waiting to befall me? That's why I'm writing this time consuming post. I figure it's saving me money by keeping me away from the sites.

I guess I'll catch a bus up to Safeway now and see if my car starts or needs a tow. The latter wouldn't be good for my bankroll, so that will probably be what happens.

Life as a whore isn't all good when you are in a week from hell.

Makes the $150 I lost on Sat seem like pocket change [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Just a word of advice, if you are withdrawing from Neteller to pay bills you probably shouldnt be playing (unless of course this is your job and you are really good at it). Poker is a strange bedfellow and I don't think I will ever gamble with my mortgage or bill money.

You made a good post about whoring grinders just a few days ago, now you're in panic mode? As you know there are many good reloads coming shortly. easy money dude, keep your head up.

My condolences about the mouse.

[Synergistic Explosions]

Hehe, I'm not really panicing. Don't worry. I never fail. Whoring is just to easy to fail at it. In fact, I could probably just play the 5k, 14k, and 35k free rolls coming up in the nest two weeks and make my bills. Not that I'm overconfident in my abilities of course.

But seriously, it's all good, really. Bankroll is healthy, checking account is healthy, car started, and I exchanged one frozen fancy mouse for a live fancy mouse today.

So really, whats to bitch about? Nothing.

But sometimes, I'm sure its true with everybody, there's frustrations involved that pop out of nowhere. That was my whole point of the post, dealing with frustrations. Or not dealing with them and just bitching instead. Which is easier.
