jimm come on man are you really an idiot? Nothing personal but is it really so hard to just play stakes you can afford? You sound like you can at least beat micro stakes, why not just stay there and grind and actually get yourself a bankroll??? Then you would get to keep your paychecks for real life,and might actually see some money coming into your bank account FROM poker.

Get over all your self-pitying psychoanalysis and just be a man and take care of business ffs.

Seriously do you want to be a pitiful broke dumbass gambler your whole life?

I mean this in the nicest way possible as a former drug addict that felt sorry for myself for my own self created problem.

You get to choose how you live your life. You can choose to be a broke degenerate, or you can get your act together.

Well said! Before I was into poker, I was into booze - I've not written about this enough in my blog, I really should - and for six months after I quit, I went to AA. I think I internalised the line about having "no mental defence" when it comes to my addiction. Like I can't listen to the little voice telling me that perhaps depositing my rent money when I'm steaming (or even when I'm not) isn't a good idea. I need to start believing in my own willpower a bit more, that I am the active agent in my life, and every day is about making choices. Right now I'm mainly making bad ones, but it needn't be that way.

I sure would like to think so. But our relationship has been one the most significant factors in shaping who i am as a person. And across the board through all areas of my life i would guess/know that if he were not my brother i would be a far less compassionate and empathetic person.

I agree with you completely, but seriously just look at the people who are posting that picture. I think most of the pictures on here are funny as hell but these are crossing the line.

Re: Luckyjimm busto
 

Oh that Jimm! Just when you think he's busto, he runs up a ministeak and someone bails him out with a loan. Will he ever learn? Either way I find him somewhat endearing, although pitiable. May his journy continue to entertain us all!

IMO, the biggest problem with AA is the way that it teaches people that they are powerless over alcohol, and have no ability to make good choices due to their 'disease'. If this were true, then nobody would ever stop drinking. AA can provide people with wonderful social support, but it's actually a quasi-religious cult that completely ignores all the modern science regarding addiction and dependence.

I've been thinking about you a bit lately. On one of the earlier threads, somebody recommended Mitchell Symons book, 'All In' about a degenerate gambler and poker player. It was pretty good and is well worth a look.

However, I suspect you'd enjoy Terence Blacker's biography of Willie Donaldson far more.

You cannot live as I have lived and not end up like this.

Re: Luckyjimm busto
 

I am feeling pretty groggy from not enough sleep, too many cigarettes, too much tea and junk food, too much time on the computer and no exercise, so will reply properly to some of the posts here and PMs tomorrow. But, Glimmertwin, yes, I got the Donaldson book the week it was released. I loved it! I want to track down Donaldson's fictionalised book about being a pimp - it sounded great!

I also want to read Sebastian Horsley's recent biography, and was interested to read about his involvement with Donaldson.
