An anecdote. A couple nights ago, I saw teacuppoker on UB dump somewhere between 60-90k at 50/100 (not sure how much his opponent was in). 60k he dumped in about 5 minutes of tilt. He had run up 26k at 25/50. He took that and lost another 22k at 50/100 (after his initial 60-90 loss). He was down to his case $3600 on UB. He doubled up three times as an underdog and then continued and ran that up to $72k.

That is the type of gamb00ling I just don't have in me, but find fasinating to hear about and watch.

I find it fascinating as well. These people are just on another planet. It's pretty clear they just can't think evaluate their results rationally and aren't mature or experienced enough to deal with the up and down swings.

I'm relatively new to poker, but I get the feeling that in just a couple years I will feel like Jay Z when he talks about new kids coming up and then shortly after watching their Rolls' get repoed.
