Anyone know who Gaucho staked in the FTP NL 200/400 game?

wtf why not? you have a real job and other income, it is time to play on a smaller bankroll. Also stop investing so much money in the stock market, people don't get rich that way.

I would definitely be willing to risk up to 10 percent of my bankroll if i thought the bet was good enough. Other people may be less risk adverse, and it appears that is what gaucho is saying his mistake was. Not realizing the level of risk he was willing to take without being in control

If you have 500k+ and make a bet where you happen to lose 40 of it, I would not consider that to be a "truly horrible life decision"

it was a truly horrible decision. not a bad "life" decision, i said "life tilt" because i was on mega tilt that day. i don't play as high as you or have your roll. i am a medium stakes grinder, and this was my second biggest losing day ever. sufficie it to say on a person's biggest losing day i am sure most are a little steamed up or tilted, and naturally question their decisions. i think i made a poor decision, but I have made many worse ones, and will continue to make mistakes. i will learn from them just as i learned form this. done posting on this thread.

What a joke. You don't get to post classless, provocative stuff to your blog and then say that it got "blown out of proportion" when you get called out for it. You also don't post that sort of thing in the first place -- it's even more ridiculous when the guy you took half of is (a) an expert who (b) played the hands somewhere between reasonably and very well and (c) is an absolute class act.

Bottom line is the Brooklyn Tech is better than Stuyvesant everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. I think that is the main point of this thread

I like how the original blog said the friend was "asking for a stake" almost implying that said player had a lesser roll, or was inferior...although that could just be my interpretation...nevertheless it's since been slyly changed to the more accurate "take some of his action" line... LOL

It always amazes me how many supposedly intelligent people misuse this phrase.
