Follow me on my way to recovering my gambling losses

Mull D · 08-23-2009, 05:54 AM

So last night I did something stupid. No, I didn't fuck that girl with all the cold sores but I did get drunk and play $600 buy in no limiit omaha hi/lo. And yes, i was drinking. The guy who took it all gave me 20 bucks back since I promised to return and I'm going to have to use that to get back in business. So this thread is going to track my progress in doing that. In two weeks I will have it back to above 1800, but basicly all work an no play.

wow.
thats, well 600 big ones.
goood one!

tedkennedy · 08-23-2009, 08:15 AM

Ouch!

**SageTree** · 08-23-2009, 08:50 AM

Damn brother. So you are saying you're taking that $20 and turning it into $1800?

José · 08-23-2009, 10:10 AM

this reminds me of the time I started with $100, went to $37 in about 20 minutes and then got it all back to $180 within 4 rounds. Everyone at the table was shitting themselves including me. I haven't played since.

It was a 3/6 cash game and I could have stopped at 600 but I did it three times in rapid succession.

That's the plan. I still don't feel quite right after last night, I'll get down to business a little later. Two weeks I think I can do it.

Mull D · 08-23-2009, 02:04 PM

_tyranT · 08-23-2009, 04:32 PM

man sorry to hear about that loss at least you still have the other 2000$. just play tournaments and you'll eventually win it back judging from your skillz.

badgoalie85 · 08-24-2009, 04:39 AM

how are you going to get back in the game with just 20 bucks?

are you going to be playin 1 cent/2 cent blinds or something?

shakeNbake06 · 08-24-2009, 04:45 AM

That's the attitude they're counting on.

I'd say good luck , but I feel luck has damned little to do with gambling.

So just enjoy yourself.

luck has a lot to do with it, which is why you cant measure poker success on a short term basis. to be successful you have to be able to put yourself in situations with positive expected value.

orangepeel is a very profitable player and will bounce back if he doesnt get piss drunk and play too high limits again.
