Re: Luckyjimm busto
 

Wow, a thread about me being busto!!!

I am a real Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to poker. With a small sum available, I am a good, controlled, tricky player. Witness on Tuesday night deposited £62 and withdrawing £392. I make good folds, I lure players into traps, I constantly withdraw.

But as soon as I have a lot of money available to me, my game disappears. I never fold anything, I'm trapped by other players, and I withdraw nothing. Hence today's £815 loss, and the £1100 I lost in Paris.

My rent is £450 a month including bills, and I earn £460 a week plus holiday pay (which equates to about another £50 a week). Before my bike got trashed, I had no transport costs, and I get a free hot meal / drink / pudding each evening from the canteen at work. So I actually had quite a bit of disposal income.

I can be a pretty good player, but unfortunately every so often I self-sabotage and get myself in a lot of trouble, like today.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do, as the friends who'd happily lend me money don't have any, while those who've got the money disprove of poker so they'd never lend me it!

playing above your roll, much?

Re: Luckyjimm busto
 

your skills are negated by your disgusting bankroll management. It's worse than mine and believe me, that's saying something.

If you think you play this game well (you have to be truly honest with yourself) then you owe it to yourself to manage your roll properly and win consistently. Acting like bluescouse is retarded as you have the same relative losses but you get no glory for your wins...gl

I have $215 on a $2/$4 table. It was $550 a few minutes ago but I just fell for someone's weak lead and made a large turn bluff when my hand had missed and his had got there, and had to fold. There are two Buddylisted players on my table, though, so if I can keep my composure I'd like to stay here.

I wonder how many players at that table had Luckyjimm buddylisted.

I'm actually not sure what is worse - being a degen busto gambler like LuckyJimm or a complete cretin with massive inferiority complexes like OnYourBike.

I earned £50k a year in London and paid £1.5k a month in rent, rates,transport etc...

Move up here £120k a year and £800 a month in bills - go figure.

Re: Luckyjimm busto
 

i find im the other way abouts from you lucky jimm.. i won $75 on an invite freeroll with a$1k prize pool on stan james. i played 5c 10c nlhe with the winnings. i ran that up to 300. then i got bored of micro stakes, it didnt hold my attention cos the money doesnt mean anything to me so i dont feel i have to play my best.if i had say $10k id play properly and use good br mangement, regognise tilt factors, when to quit sessions ect. i dont mind grinding as long as the money is reasonable. for me that is a meagre $1/$2 nlhe. under that and i find myslef getting disinterested in the games.so for instance when people lend me 50 dollars i invariably takes shots with it or play some donkaments and hope to score bigish ie: zero br management.

Definitely true about London not being the best place to live if you're a poker pro, on the other hand if you don't win it does at least mean you can make the money back a lot quicker from a regular job.

I wish Jimm the best of luck, his blog is one of the most entertaining one's I have read.

Thanks!

Yes, I'm getting paid £18/hour for a job which would pay £9/hour anywhere else in the country.

Also I've lived in London for the last eleven years (asides from a few periods busto and back at my parents) so this is where all my friends are. I would never live in another big UK city, there'd be no point. I'd love to live abroad, but I'd have even less of a support network for times I got myself in trouble like now!

Okay today I will take a picture of pudding.

Sadly it is just yoghurt, fruit salad, cake or sweets. The proper puddings, like apple crumble with custard or cheescake, the canteen only does at lunchtime. In the evening I guess it's all run out, or too much effort for them.

Re: Luckyjimm busto
 

Jim,

Most of the 2+2ers who pride themselves in being real degenerate gamblers w/ their silly prop bets and such are not even in your class.

Re: Luckyjimm busto
 

I sent this text to a schoolfriend who's lent me small sums many times in the past:

"I'm in a spot of rent-related bother- it's due now, I don't have money till in the week. Are you currently busto or robusto? Any chance you could help?"

He said "Yes I can help, but isn't it pay day?"

I explained (truthfully) I got paid weekly, but had to find a month's rent. I didn't add that I'd just lost all this week's wages, but he knows me well enough to guess that.

We're going to meet on Monday lunchtime. I'm not sure how much I could ask him for - he replied instantly, but I'm sure he's thinking along the lines of previous loans. Maybe I could ask him for £150, or even £200, but no more than that, and that would be more than he'd ever lent me. We've known each other 20 years, though, and he knows I'm good for it.

I would much rather borrow money from a poker friend, a fellow degen, than a "straight" to whom all this was alien. Before work today I called in on my best poker buddy in his clothes shop. Earlier in the week he'd told me about a £2,000 pot he'd lost in a revolting fashion in a PLO live game, and today he told me he'd just signed the lease on another shop and was paying rent on that while it was fitted out, so my "read" was that he didn't have money to spare without causing himself discomfort - and why should my friends suffer for my stupidity? So although I told him what happened, I didn't even ask him for a loan.

I now have $50 in my Neteller, plus £88 coming into my bank account overnight. If I pay the rent on Monday or Tuesday I think it will still be fine. If I could just have a nice spin-up over the weekend....

Thanks, I think. I am "degenerate" in the sense I am often reduced to penury through my gambling. They are degenerate in the sense of rich people throwing around money, the loss of which won't threaten their wealth. But I still think they're more impressive, for the sheer sums involved.
