i really enjoyed this kid's busto story, and it makes me long for the days on 2+2 when we actually got to read legit busto tales. now everyone is so sophisticated that when they or their friends go bust, people are quiet about it.

I don't know, it's kind of frustrating that he won't listen to ANYTHING anyone tells him.

LOL at someone offering to take Ed. Some people have way too much money.

Nice picture but it has no relevance, DUCY?

The key difference between me and Bluescouse is that I work, he doesn't. I recognise I need to hold down a job, to have a steady income. Also, I don't play high stakes. Sometimes I'll foolishly go to $2/$4 or $3/$6, a couple of times $5/$10, and blow off some money I won earlier. But my main games are $0.50/$1 and $1/$2, and I'm a winner over the lifetime of my blog (mid-August), if not over my own lifetime. I am learning discipline, I really am!

I just re-wrote my last blog post, btw, with something about whether we should feel sympathy for heavy losers.

1. you´re 10 years older than he is so you have to work while he doesn´t. plus he has 50k invested in a house while you don´t have any assets (my guess).

2. while you´re not playing high stakes, you´re playing the highest stakes possible wether you can afford them or not.


talking like you´re some sort of mature bluescouse really made me lol.

Good point - yes, I'm older, so he can be forgiven for youthful folly, whereas the course of my (miserable) life is more deeply set.

The £50k he may have in his house doesn't mean a great deal beyond that he's won more than I have. He'll likely lose it. Or, even if he quits playing, he'll fail to meet his mortgage repayments and he'll lose the house anyway.

It simply isn't true to say that I play the highest stakes available to me. So, on Monday night £600 cleared in my bank, yet I deposited £100 and played $1/$2. I've got £1200 clearing in my account in a couple of days, but I'm still not going to play any higher. I like playing super-bad clueless opponents. I don't want to be outplayed. I want my opponents to suck even more than I do. I do not like to be up against clever, thinking players. So the limits I currently play are perfect for me.

What would you attribute most to having learnt more discipline Jim? Poverty? a book? a friend? philosophy? parents?

My discipline usually goes out the window when my BR dwindles.
