where are my odds and what is the most money you will bet?

ugh ok i regret posting this but whatever.

First and foremost, I'm currently a losing poker player. I think if you can take the times when im playing in the right state of mind and not tilting/spewing/playing games i can't afford that I have at least a 5ptbb/100 edge over my competition (nl25). I used to beat the games over 100k+ hands at that winrate like 2 years ago as my only source of income plus sngs and I'd have to say I think im about 2x better now than I was then, same skill as far as sngs though i was actually probably better at sngs then because i was even nittier.

I dunno wtf im doing wrong but I keep repeating the same stupid chain of events.

Deposit 200-500 -> Win 100-500 -> Go broke.

I KNOW that I'm doing stupid stuff that is bad for my bankroll like playing in $50+ tournaments or playing 25 $25 sngs or something and then if i lose in those/do bad I play heads up and degen it up or play heads up sngs. The money doesn't mean anything to me and I chalk it up to "Well I can afford it, it's a good investment in the long run anyway" Which is probably true but it's completely way off. I CRUSH live games because I can't spew at all in bankroll management. Online though, it's too easy to find a game or two that i can't afford to play in online and jump in. Also in real life I can see my money coming and going much faster so maybe that has something to do with it although if anything at a 1/2 table I am by far the person moving the most money around so it's not like im playing scared at the casino because im playing like 35/20 fullring winning like ~$33 an hour which is probably a pretty decent ptbb/100.

I want to play poker and play high stakes it's something that I'm really interested in and i've put so much time into playing poker that I just can't see how it can't be a goal for me. Maybe I have the same problems as neilly and i don't have the patience to wait for it and i'm rushing it. In a lot of ways I can relate to neilly but I'm so much more realistic than him and SO much better at poker that it's not really comparable.

How the hell do I break my habits, I need bankroll management help so badly it's ridiculous. It seems that there is no way for me to ever overcome my mental situation and i'm doomed and should quit playing poker but I don't want to do that. I want to succeed i fucking hate losing ugh.

/end rant.

I have no idea what happened in the starcraft world in the past 1.5 years but jesus tapdancing christ starcraft is on a ridiculous level.

I used to be like top 20 in the usa on the ladders and stuff with little effort, B rank on pgt whatever i didnt game that much competitively i just gamed to talk shit and play ums but i was still good at the game relatively compared to the rest of the population of starcraft players.

I've recently gotten really interested in the game again watching every english casted game i can find in my spare time and eventually it just came down to me saying "Man i fucking love this game, i gotta put the time in to be good again"

Little did i fucking know how hard of a task this is to accomplish. I'm currently 32-35 C- on iccup. I rematch everyone i lose to or try to anyway, and i obviously am not dodging anyone cause this isnt me trying to make some run at the top of the ladder I just wanna get good so I prefer losing but fuck at least let me do it at a respectable level, having a <50% winning ratio at C- is stupid as fuck and embarassing.

I played 20 games today and for the first time in my life my wrist is killing me. I never used to have issues with wrist pain but I'm hoping it was just the angle i was sitting at and I don't have carpel tunnel syndrome.

everyone come play sc with me!

I've been logging ~6 hours a day playing live 1/2 since friday.

stnd live rants, someone called me a nit i think actually for the first time in my life (being serious you'll know if you've ever played with me) so i made sure for an hour or so any time he limped i raised, any time he raised i re-raised or any time he did anything i fucked with him until he started talking shit and i found out from him and his buddies that AK is, in fact, not third nuts. That I raise too much and I'm stupid to mess with someone of his caliber who has played so many hands and that there is no way I've played over 1million hands in my life and ugh i could go on but really i'm too busy counting his money.

I chopped an omaha tournament tonight too, ez life.

overall i'm up something like 1k and i didn't actually get to play saturday so four nights of grinding or something.

btw im pretty convinced that i can sustain a 30ptbb+ winrate live, i dunno what's really practical but i really doubt that anyone can play a looser more aggressive style than I am and make it profitable + i think i'm perfect and i haven't honestly misplayed a hand yet because it's so ez to not fuck up when you're playing one table and can feel the atmosphere.

anyways, can't wait til i'm 21 to move to vegas just to try out the lifestyle for a while or something. It's too bad I fail so bad @ online grinding, i win @ it but end up losing anyway cause i'm too degen or something... I need a personal secretary to keep me from being a fucking retard or something. Maybe I'll grow up some day but until then all of the ways I lose @ online are impossible outcomes live.

ahhhhhh one more thing, i found out that a 5/10 game runs every tuesday but im def not rolled for that and I think I'm leaving out for work sometime in the next week anyway but if I end up getting time off until after new years and I have to keep grinding to live i'm pretty stoked to go destroy some fags at 5/10.

Pictures kinda suck.

2003 Chevy Silverado SS

If you don't know what SS means it means it has every available option including AWD + some exterior enchancements.
