Re: Tell the worst TURNING PRO STORY you have heard.
The story we'll Call him pokerplayer7 (prima name)
He is a good friend of mine who i've known since junior high where we play bball together, super shy korean kid, I would have to pass the ball in the games and yell at him to shoot for him to do so, and he always made it but was to nervous or some [censored]. Anyways him and I and a group of trouble makers would play cards every day and big time on the weekends. All type of table games, bj, jakes or better, stud ranging from $10-500 pots. This kid would play with us and donate every time 20 here 50 there, I don't think he had a winning session in the 3 years of constent play. One day out of the blue he logs onto prima poker network and gets his free $10 bucks. I don't see him for a month, when i see him again he tells me how he's turned that 10 into 10k already winning a couple big tournies and playing in mid stacks cash games. few months after that he is having insane stomach pains, turns out 16hours a day multi tabling with mcdonalds diet is a recipe for gal stones. He quits poker and tries some rediculous remadies because he doesn't want surgery on top of the fact that he doesn't have medical insurance (which doesn't make sense for his level of income). So now he's still kicking after no surgery and about 2 gallons of water a day with a better diet, plays on bodog 5/10 every couple of months to reload his spending money and lives off of ebay for the most part. Now he hangs around on myspace and talks with all the young weird girls and goes out 4 days a week, while I sit home and multi table micros. I used to be the crazy one going out and talking about girls, and he was the one talking about poker and being the hermit. I don't know what is sadder me or him, probably me. Oh and he hates poker and lives at home so I have no idea what to do to help him move on with his life. Anyways. My story constant winner live, constant break even player online, and I don't know what I wanta do with poker, been playing for 8 years about and on average 3 hours a day for the last 5 years. Might stay at the casino, just can't get passed $100max online, but do fine 2/5 $500 max live. No job but I have a degree. whatever.

This is a long one cause its prob my last one till im 18 so without further adu...............Lmao wow today was one very "fun" day and by fun i mean [censored] gay and exhausting. Useually when i go on my long walks i come home happy and enlightened and by useually i mean every time up until today. So let me begin... today i decided to go the Galleria Mall and i only brought about 200$ with me this time cause i wasnt planing on buying any clothes or dvds or anything just a ps3 game and some glasses. So half way there i hear this car coming closer and closer and closer with rap music playing louder then i ever heard before so i stare at the car coming towards me and all of a suddn to my complete shock i see this 80 year old white male and im like wtf and thats not even the shocking part the shocking part was he flicked me off. Thats right i mean wtf there isnt any explaination for what i thought when he did it cause i was just to shocked. so i spend the rest of the way to the mall thinking to myself did that really just happen or am i completly loseing my mind. anyway i try to focus on other things that i useally think of when im walking trough rich Ladue like the spectacular houses the fresh air the cool cars and all the tall Green trees and [censored] that is in Ladue. But i cant that [censored] totally ruined my frame of mind for the entire day. Anyway i get ot the mall at about 8.40 Am and it is open but all the stores inside it are closed exept this this small cafe that served donuts and coffe and [censored]. but i wasnt hungry so i wandered around the mall up and down left to right several times over and it was empty. So i got some sort of pleasure out of that i like being in large places by myself for some reason, Anyway i finaly decide to go to that cafe and all i ordered was a italian soda and they gave me the cup...you gotta fill it up yourself so i go to the drink machine thing fill it up put it down cause i get distracted by a incredibly hot women that just walked in then i swing my hand back and knock over the drink and it lands in this old ladys dress ruining it and she yells and everyone in the place looked at me in silence.. [censored]!! that was really embarrassing so i just said sorry and promptly left not even asking for a refill i just left. then i get to the game store and pick out the game i wana get already [censored] pissed then the guy tells me you have a id. Then im like excuse me what? hes like ya this is a mature label or w/e 17+ you gotta have a id then i said do i look like im under 17 and hes like ya as a matter of fact you do and i was kinda thrown off by the reply cause it wasnt quite what i expected so i didnt wana make a scene or anything so i just said w/e and left. I was so dam furious i didnt know where to go next so i decided to go down a level to the food court and get myself something then as i make my way down the escalator my shoe lace gest stuck somehow and when i get to the bottom this thing is sucking my foot down so i was forced to remove one shoe and cut the lace off with a knife. doesnt seem like a big deal sure but i was so angry up until that it made it a big deal. So then i put my shoe back on and kick the wall as hard as i can breaking a toe nail and falling to the ground in excruciating pain. Meanwhile everyone is looking at me like im a psycho. anyway 10 minutes later i put my shoe back on and calm down and see this sunglasses stand. I walk over and start browseing and the french dude that is running it keeps talking to me asking questions every second and i kept telling him im fine i can decide myself yet he kept on talking and every time i picked a pair up to try them on hes like do you want to buy those. And im trying to keep my cool cause hes [censored] annoying and his special gay accent was equally as annoying. finaly i decided on this cool pair with fake diomands on the side. and i go to pay for them and he gives me this look and asks are these for you and i said uhh ya and he replied kid these are womens glasses ...let me hlep you pick out a diffrent pair. And i said i dont want a diffrent pair and i dont care if they are womens glasses they are really cool and nobody will notice and hes likle..ohhhh they will notice trust me. And after he said that i lost it and said jesus [censored] christ will you just let me pay for these already and stop talking and he quickly closed his mind in shock almost lol and i payed and left....i kinda felt bad for yelling at the small french buisnessman like that but w/e is happend and i dont regret anything i do cause there is useually a reason for doing it. after eating down in the food court i decided i had enough of the mall and decided to go home. On my way home i saw this huge...umm whats the word for it monastery i think? idk but it was this place where nuns and monks and [censored] live and it had a huge chapel and stuff so i decided to see for myself whats going on here and on my way to the main grounds this nun stoped me and said can i help you young man and for some retarded reason i decided to lie and say uhh ya my mom works here im supposed to meet her. And she said oh ok what building and i said uhh the central one and she gave me this look and said can you be more specific and then i said. Well ya she told me it was the one in the center of the whole grounds and she laughed and read me like a book and said your mother doesnt work here does she and i gave up and im like no...no she doesnt then the nun is like then let me ask again why are you here? and i replied idk just to look around i guess so she said well come in and sit down i will be right back. So im like ok and thinking to myself [censored] that was emberessing getting caught in a lie like that. and then all of a sudden she comes back with this monk/priest dude who is by far the most psychopathic nut ive ever met in my life. he looked like kenny rogers and had a smile on his face 100 percent of the time and he was a hippy in a way to. and he said i heard you lied to sister claudia about why you have come here..lieing is a sin in all its forums and i suggest you make a confession right now and im like !!! what. He responded by telling me how he sees how i am controlled by demons and how my soul is crying out for attention and that i need to start off my making this "life changeing conffession". all of this within 1 minute of meeting me...anyway i dont wana go into to much detail but within 10 minutes of talking to this guy i relized he was plain nuts and even psychopatic and i wondered how he was allowed to become a priest in the first place ...ive came across some crazy priests in my time but this guy took the cake by far.anway soon after that conversation i left and went home. that was my day basicly. now im sore and tired and about to go to sleep. but ya going to the mall is the [censored] i love it id live there if they let me. but today wasnt so great to say the least. if i wasnt so unlucky id be playing poker all day instead of going on these walks cause thats all i have to do all day now that im broke....sure i could deposit more at anytime but there is no point for i am not a luckbox like alot of others and will just lose it again. Im to much of a emotional player to play online i care about winning and loseing to much...the people that can controll their anger online are more crazy then me for not controlling it because you obviously dont have any emotions while playing making u a [censored] online zombie....i cant wait to hit 18 so i can continue to play poker again and prove my worth so until then bye [/ QUOTE ] this post ended my brief stay in this thread...

I think you can play poker to pay bills and not neccesarily have "turned pro". It's not that hard to make more playing 40-50 hours a week than you could waiting tables or some other menial job you can get in college. Dropping out is a big mistake though IMO, even if you make all the money playing poker, it still never hurts to finish the degree and have it as a back-up plan. [/ QUOTE ] I hate when people say that...there are TONS of other "back up plans" that don't require school....like real estate [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Dropping out of school was the BEST decision I've ever made...but I could see how for many it would be the worst decision possible.
