Desdia is now the first person on 2p2 that i've ever set to ignore.

You're gonna miss out! I think I did this once and then realized that to understand PrayingMantis' posts I had to un-ignore. THEN I realized that desdia is HILARIOUS!

Holy god,
Plz mods ban des. This is ridiculous.

Gotta get my 2 cents in first cause this is just so fun....

I'm pretty sure I could have been the short stop for the Boston Red Sox, if my dad had only shown me how to throw a baseball. . .

I'm pretty sure I could have been an underwear model, if I could only afford those capped teeth.

I'm pretty sure I could be a mortgage collector, if I only would apply for the job.

In this thread Des sounds like those screw ups from Pros Vs. Joes right before they get into the ring with Randy Couture. Randy then proceeds choke them out, arm bar, ankle lock and heel hook them into reality.

Des, in all seriousness, when I was 18 I thought I was entering college to learn to become the guy to crack the protein code and develop the first molecular nanotechnology robots (for further reading, google Eric Drexler). Since I was partying too much to ever make that a reality EVEN if I was as smart as I thought I was, that never panned out quite as planned. Just because I happen to be unhappy with my lot in life later, that previous ambition or pie in the sky dream doesn't give me the proper footing to write to the journal Nature and say, "Those scientists now aren't THAT good. I'm sure I could have cured cancer if I had only not (been an alcoholic in college|had a family|knew how to read| excuses|excuses|excuses).

Doing that just shows a level of insecurity with one's lot in life that's not flattering. And please, don't blame your family.

BTW, bigjoe, nice job at the 500K. That's sick [censored] but its making me uncomfortable with my lot in life so I'd appreciate you slowing down.

Desdia,
Please just admit you are jealous because when you were 22 you couldn't make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

since this thread is pretty much off the wagon anyways I thought another hijack would be fine. Desdia's last post about family made me think of Dali being a pretty good poker player with a family. Speaking of daliman, i'm hoping you read this thread and follow my instructions.

1. Put DVD of karaoke in december in drive of computer
2. Move the files from the dvd to your hard drive
3. Go to www.youtube.com and sign up for an account
4. Go to my account page on youtube and select upload new video
5. Select karaoke files as the ones to upload
6. PM FutureDoc ransoming off the link
7. ????????
8. Profit

You can't compare Dali's expereince to mine. In 2004, he was playing $215 SNGs on Party; I had just discovered the $5.50s on Stars. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he a stay-at-home-dad for awhile with a wife who made enough to allow him to play poker from home and take care of the kids? I haven't had that luxury, so again, no comparison.

1-7: Huh?

[/ QUOTE ]
I was working 2 other jobs when our son was born and my wife was not working when I first started doing well in the 215's. 4 months later, I quit my FT job, (selling tires, WHEEE!) and only DJ'd weddings and poker then. I quit DJ'ing weddings about a year later. While I do have the luxury of having a wife who makes good $$$, I have always brought in my own $$$ too. So no, I was never really, and still really am not, a stay-at-home dad, other than the fact that I watch my kids alot and work at home.

Desdia,
130k is barely winning?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, players like Z32, Newt_Buggs, and FieryJ (although I like Jon) or even TravestyFund. I never said bigjoe. You heard alot of jawing from Party players about how good they were but when they switched over to Stars and the Partyfish they didn't follow, you can see the results. Best to me means great on every site, against great opponents, and in every type of structure from reg/winnertakeallsat/6man/HU, etc.

Lol at calling out FJ and TF. Take the hate somewhere else.

[Brown_I_Filla]

Joe, you must have no life at all.
dont u go out to bars with friends like cool people?
LOL at playing so much online poker.
wouldnt you rather work 50 hours a weak in a cube under flouresent lighting?

Do you leave your house and enjoy what life has to offer.
get outside and enjoy the sun!
youve had so much sucess b/c your luky. thats what seperates the good players.

tournmanet poker is not real poker.

[wpr101]

Can you teach us the very tricky tight loose approach?

Your argument about if you tried harder you would be better than anybody is stupid. Do you think if you decided you wanted to play in the NBA you could do it also?

Lastly your comment about how the person has no business playing 1k sngs just shows how little you understand about variance and basic math.
