I think I am going to start telling chicks I invest online.
I think will have to make some modest trades just to make myself feel honest.
It is ghey that stock investing, day trading, has a rep as more safe, reputable than playing poker. There is no difference in my mind. Like they think that the fact that the trader is dealing in GE or whatever makes any difference to him at all, he's just looking for profitable edges to exploit just like a poker player.
This may be my most coherent drunk post ever.

I put down Investor for a recent credit card application, I don't think it impressed them [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]



Does anyone know what errors a NLSNG player is most likely to make when trying to play microlimit? - I'd like to win more than just the bonus for 6 hours play.

devin,

You have to lead the conversation. If you don't like where it's going, cut the conversational thread and move on.

Junt is sorta correct. You can give a BS answer once (I'm a nascar driver, I'm a professional cup stacker, etc) or side step the question once. You have to move the conversation of course. If they still come back at you, the only way to pass their test is to own up. Otherwise you're hiding something and this communicates a weak identity - you don't feel 100% awesome about what you do.

So when you do say what you do, launch into an awesome story that shows you in an attractive light. The only transition you really need is "I love poker b/c it gives me the time to....[story]."

The reason ugly girls are laying into you is b/c they don't get as many opportunities as hot chicks to lay into guys with weak realities. If you communicate that they can walk all over you, they will.

Does anyone think it's possible to have a style at sngs that is a loser or marginal winner during the week, but a bigger winner on the weekends than someone who does better during the week?

IE - could my style be better at exploiting bad players, but suck in tougher games?

Sure, why not? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Devin, you have the talent and skill to make your living at an activity most people lose money at. This is something to be proud of. The fact that these girls are hating means they don't have the imagination or courtesy to accept unconventional possibilities. Maybe if they are hot they'd be worth some mental acrobatics but if they are fat/ugly as well, why waste the energy on them?

I think its more possible that there is just less money to go around during the week. The pros arent at work (well, they are) and the donks are so its more about how well you are running than how well you play.

[sippin_criss]

A lot of the [censored] here seem to be pretty into the fact that I can make a living playing poker, sometimes it's like I'm a doctor or something. It also helps to be not be as big of an AFC as I was once, it's pretty impressive some of the things you can learn to pull off.

I think if they weren't already filming Yugo's trip to Amsterdam, they've already missed the boat on that one. It might work if they relocated Thug Mansion to Vegas, ideally sharing a backyard wall with dom and bones. The key has to be getting the "exciting Yugo" density up and cutting down on the working/sitting at the computer chatting with other losers and surfing MySpace. Sure it's fun, but it doesn't make for good TV.
