Default Re: freind brags about $$ from pizza delivery

Yeah, most of my friends seem to think it's all luck and just flat out dont understand. Since I'm going back to school in the fall, I quit my day job April 1 and all but one of them think I sit down and piss money away every day for a few hours. As such, when they ask(because they do, repeatedly), I just smile and say I'm doing alright. They only hear dollar amounts after big losing days.

They'll probably realize something's up when I start rolling around in a new car sometime after the holidays.

Gay statements like this make me think you are on the happy side of variance. Might not want to lose that pizza places number just yet....

I like to walk around and look at people working and think of how much more I make by multitabling while posting in bbv [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

When I buy things, I measure them in how much time it takes to make the money for it, not in how much it actually is.

So if someone tries to talk to me like I shouldn't be spending $5 on a coffee, well, sure I understand how they don't want to spend 30 minutes on a coffee, but I don't mind spending a minute or two on it.

I do that too...but I cut my hourly rate in half because I am too lazy to do more then 20 hours a week.

hey man... I didnt say a thing, but these are the same people that doubted me for all the months that it took me to hone my game. I told them everything, I trusted taht they would believe in me because they were my freinds. Does this make them bad freinds? No I dont htink so, but does it make me a b ad person to have a mental grin when they tell me about thier measly earnings?

I am happy for my freinds, and I hold back from telling everyone how much I make for more then one reason...

Er, my bad, sorry man. I got the impression that you were making fun of your friend for being excited about his wage. I misinterpreted it entirely.

I remember making 5.75/hour so anything more than that coming from me or anyone is awesome.

i know what you mean, about being uncomfortable with sharing your short term results. I was at AC last weekend, and dropped 3k taking a shot at 5/10nl. I told my roomates that i won a little. They would flip a [censored] if I lost 3 grand, tell me to get counseling, go to GA meetings, etc. where for me, losing 3 buyins is perfectly normal.

whats gay about feeling good knowing you were right the whole time while everyone doubted you. Ive been through swings, I have a solid chunk of hands under my belt, think what you want, I dont really care as long as I know the truth.

and by "hone my skills" I didnt mean Ive mastered poker and I make millions and can beat everyone. But there was a good amount of time that I was a losing player(thankfully I knew to stay at low stakes), then a good amount of time that I just broke even. Also I only played sngs and tournaments for more then half the the time Ive been playing poker.

but who cares, thats not what this thread is about. kthxshipitholla.
