I thought that at first as well, but the post was too coherent and used the term "knobjockey" so it is clearly someone from overseas.

Don't beat yourself up over your mistakes but learn from them. I have been busto 3 times because of divorces, bad business deals and defaulted loans. Each time with a huge negative net worth. But every time I get back on top I get a little higher.

Sit down and write out a business plan, budget schedule, goals, etc. Review and adjust your plan often. This crap works and it keeps you focused. Plan your work and work your plan or is it plan your play and play your plan.

On another subject, in your experience is 5 $200 hookers more fun than 1 $1,000 hooker. You know the quantity vs quality thing.

Good luck to you and get to work

I tried approaching friends for loans(people btw whom i had helped get started, helped build bigger rolls), many turned their backs on me. Why? Well i guess some people only want to hang around you when things are going well, and bail at the first sign of trouble.

Or perhaps they didn't want to find themselves in the position you are now in?

I feel heaps better having let out my feelings on this thread.

Once again thanks for the kind words of encouragement.

The rebuilding starts today.

Incidently, just played a home game/cash satelite for the APPT(some guy had a couple of extra packages). Anyways i won so ill see you guys in Macau.

Question:
What are the side effects of smoking pot?

Answer:
Here is a bit of a list as to the side effects of pot (not counting the high itself!): 1) Short term memory loss 2) Anxiety and panic attacks, some people end up in the emergency room. 3) Impotency 4) Testicle shrinkage 5) Avoidant personality disorder 6) Paranoia 7) Lung cancer, difficulty breathing 8) Laziness, unwilling to work. A heavy marijuana user will often be unemployed, living off the government or mom and dad. He/she will often blame society for their problems. 9) Men will often grow breasts and lose muscle mass. 10) On rare occasions, the drug can be laced and cause death. As for one study: Dr. Brent Moore and colleagues at Yale University, the National Cancer Institute, and the University of Vermont evaluated data from a nationally representative sample of 6,728 adults. Their analysis indicated that a history of more than 100 lifetime episodes of smoking pot, with at least one episode in the past month, increased an individual's risk of chronic bronchitis, coughing on most days, wheezing, chest sounds without a cold, and increased phlegm.

WTF? Do you just go around posting this crap in every thread? What kind of weird, Puritanical axe do you have to grind? Did marijuana kill your father and rape your mother?

this thread has exciting implications...gl op and you sound like a man of integrity!

[/ QUOTE ]

Whether you're being sarcastic or not i can def attest that OP is a good guy.#

A long while back he borrowed a couple thousand off me and wasn't able to pay it back for bout a year, but never jerked me around about it. When he got the money together he flew my GF and I to malaysia, paid our flight and hotel, then gave me the 2k back plus 500 in interest despite my not asking for it.

Of course I was being serious...sad story, hope it works out for ya.

Also, OP's story is totally standard. Another reminder to take your tournament winnings and get them the [censored] out of the poker economy. If the entry fees don't break you, the lifestyle will. And the lifestyle isn't even that much fun.
