Luckyjimm busto
What a loser. So impulsive.
http://luckyjimm.blogspot.com/ Friday, 30 November 2007 Gambling my rent money was not a good idea. By breakfast without going higher than $1/$2 I'd lost £400 I could just about afford to lose, through bad play and beats. Having phoned the landlord yesterday for his bank details, I tried to transfer him the £450, only for the online banking website to say because of a new security measure I first needed a pin service card, which they would send me in the post. I foolishly made another deposit, in the knowledge that I have an £88 withdrawal coming through. Then when I lost that, I deposited again, telling myself I would win, withdraw, and pay my rent a few days late on Tuesday, using the pin card as my excuse. Although what would have stopped me from depositing the money again on Tuesday, I don't know. As it is, I am now in for £815. I have £40 left in the bank, which I need to live on. My rent, which I said I'd pay today, is £450. 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. It's hard, because another part of me thinks I should just cash out what I've got left, and see if a combination of friends will lend me the difference. I ordered a replacement credit card yesterday, for one I have with a £400 limit. The pin came today, forwarded by my mother. Hopefully the card should come early next week, so I might potentially be able to use that. This is the biggest disaster since the last big disaster! And so utterly unnecessary. |

Re: Luckyjimm busto
The funniest part is he's only been living with his new room-mates for a week. Can't pay the rent after 1 week is gonna go down like [censored] sandwich.

Re: Luckyjimm busto
Everything was going too well, wasn't it Jim? You had your trip to Paris, moved to city and all that. As much as people like to read Busto stories, I personally feel for you. People have said this before, but I say it again: You're playing way beyond your bankroll, and let's face it, your skill-level. Move down, enjoy playing risk-free and enjoy living in London, making easy money at an easy job.
Take care Jim |

Re: Luckyjimm busto
this would be a sad story if he hadn“t told everybody how he spent like 1500 $ on a hooker about a week ago. knowing that, it“s just so funny i can“t stop loling. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
btw: he isn“t busto right now. give him 5 mins. update btw: Losing today's rent money was not a good idea. By breakfast without going higher than $1/$2 I'd lost £400 I could just about afford to lose, through bad play and beats. Having phoned the landlord yesterday for his bank details, I tried to transfer him the £450, only for the online banking website to say because of a new security measure I first needed a pin service card, which they would send me in the post. I foolishly made a small deposit, in the knowledge that I have an £88 withdrawal coming through tomorrow. When I lost that, I deposited again, telling myself I would win, withdraw, and pay my rent a few days late on Tuesday, telling the landlord about the pin card as my excuse. Although what would have stopped me from depositing the money again on Tuesday, I don't know. I kept on depositing and losing. Finally, I have lost £815. Looking at PokerTracker, I lost on 14 of the 15 tables on which I played, and "won" $26.97 on the other one. I did not cash out even once - paralysed by the thought of how much I had already lost, I forgot that I would best recover my losses by withdrawing incrementally, not in one go. I have just £40 in the bank which I need to live on. My rent, which I said I'd pay today, is £450. Five minutes ago I had $550 on a $2/$4 table but it's now gone. I ordered a replacement credit card recently for one with a £400 limit. The pin came today, forwarded by my mother. The card should come early next week, so I may potentially be able to use that. This is the biggest disaster since the last big disaster! And so utterly unnecessary. So in my first few weeks back in London I've lost all my money, broken my bike, on which I'm utterly dependent, and failed to go swimming more than once Oh, and I started smoking again. |
Re: Luckyjimm busto
id really be shocked if people care about this...luckyjimm was never someone who has made a run or has ever been successful...to the best of my knowledge his biggest roll has been like 5K so is this really news?

Re: Luckyjimm busto
at least he is 100% alive!
Jim i send u $50 - pm me anything so i can send! |
Re: Luckyjimm busto
Anything you'll send to him will be lost within the next 6 hours/days/weeks... He's not a poker player, he's an addict.
Sad, very sad story. Should be like a warning for all of us. |

Re: Luckyjimm busto
I cannot understand why any of his friends would want to bail him out this time round? It might seem harsh but I have no sympathy whatsoever. He's made no attempt to try and improve his game, which is clearly awful, and shows no respect to his friends, family and the online banking world.

Re: Luckyjimm busto
You should see how precautious I am with my bankroll...
I mean, one of my grandfathers used to smoke opium (back in the 30's when Vietnam was a french colony) and spend days inchained in a hut to get rid of it ; this story has always been in my mind when using drugs... Used to smoke pot but always refused cocaine for instance. "warning" was maybe misused, forgive my english then. |

But rent is very high and a reason why I will probably try and find my own place next year. |

And its a shared apartment so according to his blog rent is only 1 weeks wage. Sucks that he has no control and is always desting to go broke with the stakes he plays. I have sympathy for him but at his age he should just pack it in whatever it takes. He's not a teenager anymore unlike some of us. |

Re: Luckyjimm busto
i suppose the average wage in london is significantly higher then the rest of the uk to cover your insane cost of living..if your make your money off poker entirley then it seems like you would be a mug to live there. plenty other much nicer european cities to live in at a fraction of the cost.

Starting smoking adds $300-400 a month to expenses, just to make things tough.

If you choose to work and live in London, it is ideal that you find a job that has potential to make you high 5 figures or 6 figures in the future especially if you intend to get married and have a family. |

Try glasgow! its great/has everything london has! its raining at the moment though. . . . but it does that in london too. maybe i should get a job part time for the tourist board. p.s jimm, if you get staked i've got a great game with a seat waiting for you and somebody elses moneies. |

I'm lucky enough to pay £110/week in a really nice area in a nice place. Mates rates always help. I think I pay £150-£200 less per week than I should be paying. |
