    You're better off shipping me $1k than flipping for it with this guy. He's not gonna learn.

    definitely disturbing, kid is a degenerate and doesn't even know it.

    makes me kinda glad to be a tourney donk where things are safe and i know what i'm risking each day. they say most of the money in poker comes from cash games, but from my experience so does a lot of the stress.

    LOL @ Tourney Donk. I believe every time I've been at your table in a tournament you've knocked me out.

    But yes, I can't tell you how much of a happier person I am solely sticking to MTTS now instead of Cash games. I don't know how High Stakes guys do it, even when I won I felt depressed.

    Stupid post Imo, you've been around poker long enough that a certain % of players are addicts, losers, etc. You make your money of them..
    The reason you feel disturbed is because you got a slight case of guilt...
    But your a smart guy so you know all this already, which is why your title is completely fake..even if well intentioned..

    I'm sure he's just showing an example of something that haunts a lot of poker players, poor bankroll management. Sure Thor's a really smart guy that knows this happens, but he's also a good guy that doesn't want to see people make detrimental decisions in life. It's not a stupid post at all, a lot more educational than a lot of the stuff that you see being discussed.

    He posted it so others could read it..........i love reading these types of conversations it puts my losing and tilt days in perspective.

    Thanks for the post Thorladen.

    Jerro, maybe the OP was thinking about the readers, not himself.

    The only reason Thor found this disturbing was that he lost the flip and missed out on a chance to busto another kids account

    Every gambler thinks like this.

    The motive is adrenaline and you get it whether you win or lose.
