The WORST thing you can do is staying in on weekends to play poker! Hell, DUDE! WTF are you doing? I eventually opt to stay in when I don't like what the others are planning or I don't want to socialize. But I made a vow that I never turn down an invitation or opportunity to stay home alone playing poker. Don't do it. It will put you on life tilt eventually. You need to get your head clear from time to time. Treat poker as a hobby. And even if you treat it as a job, stick to workdays.

Oh AND TWO THUMBS UP FOR BIG SCREEN WITH NO OVERLAP!!!!!

[Chomp]

Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?


Bwahahahahahahahahaha! Mwahahahahahahah! So. Goddam. Ridiculous.

As any self-respecting degen knows, winning day = happiness, losing day = unhappiness. It's pretty basic stuff.

So to this extent, the original formulation is entirely tautological. And thus ludicrous.

When you start having +/- 1K days online, trivial daily life prices and expences stops to faze you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
