Right now there are two threads longer than 15 pages with people ripping on you mercilessly, but you have to go cry to the mods about me? Why do you post here when all you do is get ridiculed

Serious question - in your blog you write:

[ QUOTE ]
I woke at 6.30am on Tuesday to find some money I'd withdrawn from a site had cleared in my bank so I deposited that. I lost £50 getting it in with my set versus his flush draw which came. I deposited another £50, got it up to £144 at the same table and really should have quit, but didn't and bust.

[/ QUOTE ]

and earlier in this thread you wrote:

[ QUOTE ]
$40 into $1200, then lost because the goddamn site wouldn't let me withdraw

$50 into $4600, then lost because the goddamn site wouldn't let me withdraw

Now I'm with a new skin and can withdraw, it should make all the difference.

[/ QUOTE ]

Given that you took money withdrawn from a site and promptly redeposited (and lost) it, why do you think being with a new skin that lets you withdraw will make "all the difference"?

In a session where I never get much above my initial buy-in it will make no difference - I will chase the win and go bust.

But in a session where I double, treple, quadruple up I will be able to cash out and keep playing without having to move down limits. And, ideally, this is what I'll do.

jimm you sound like you are a nice guy in life and whatev, but you are completely misguided and delusional in thinking that running $50 into $4600 proves you are any good at poker

Since the other thread got closed:
What's your take on Houellebecq? He "kinda" repeats him, doesnt he? But solid afterall (at least his first books) - do you concur?

luckyjimm,

I have accounts on Absolute, Full-tilt, and Stars.
If I transfer you $150,(at one of the above) will
you post the results for everybody to read?

This would be entertaining for all of us.

[/ QUOTE ]


Yes, happy to try it on Absolute or PokerStars. I haven't seen the PLO games on Absolute, are they good?

[/ QUOTE ]

I will transfer you $150 on stars.
I live in Chicago, I work during the day.
What is your screename? (My screenname is not Jackal52)

The deal is the following:
Start out playing $25 plo.
If you hit, $300,(playing $25 plo) pay me back the original $150.
At that point, if the account reaches $1000, stop. I want 50% of the money or $500.

At that point, you are on your own.
Make an honest effort at bankroll management.
Also, you must post the results here.

PM me if interested.

[/ QUOTE ]

tbqh I kind of hope luckyjimm goes busto again and again because he is unwilling to do anything productive/healthy with his life, but the deal you propose above gives you significantly more than 50% of the profits up to $1000
