Few Days Ago::::
After cashing out completly again! LIKE A DONK, being tricked by some bad influences (Girls). I decided to go back to school but I realized don't have to quit poker to do this... I guess the Idea was to quit, but I'm not a quiter... I bought in 3 days ago for 50.00 to play for fun. Anyways Hit 150.00 playing 10NL my first night. ( I have an outside income with this in mind I didn't mind playing this limit with 50.00)
!!!!BUT SERIOUSLY people don't understand bankroll management WHATSO EVER! ITS SO ANNOYING to me. The very next day! Had this repeative conversation...
Girl: Hey what did you do last night?
Me: Hard day at Mcdonalds, went home and watched reality Tv.
Girl: Really?
Me: Nah, do I look like your ex?
Girl: haha
Me: I Went out to some club called cans with my boys had a great time, came home was really drunk and upset I spent 95.00 on drinks. You know first 2 rounds were on me cuz I was in a good mood. Anyway I wanted my money back so I played a little poker when I got home and won my beer money back and went to bed.
Girl: How much did you win?
Me: 100.00 it's ok I guess made 5.00 right? I can take you to the movies now or at least pay the tax on your ticket?
Girl: Your silly but for real so you won a 100 but...HOW MUCH did you LOSE tho? (they say the words I caped all annoying and saracastic and sh!t)
Me: ""CONFUSED SMILE"" Thinking are you fu%#ing stupid? How can I lose when I said I won 100.00.
How do you guys explain your poker hobby or even you amazing players that play for $ explain this concept to people? I imagine the higher the stakes the more money they think your losing so I'm sure its not just the people that play for fun that deal with this.
TODAY::::::
....Lost a lot today still up a little overall, but I didn't do good multi tabling. So I decided to cut down to 2 tables and move up to 25NL and take my time to get reads. Anyways...
This table was fun, everyone was playing tight solid. I stole like everypot! I don't think I won a pot over 2.00 yet I grinded out over 75+ in 2 hours with my best hand being Mid pair.
I am acting as if I have 500.00 still and playing 25NL with a 100ish bankroll!!! I know this is stupid but I have about 400.00 about to go back into my epassporte account due to denied transactions and below is why...
**************
1. Don't get an Epassporte Visa if you live in the United States. Its not accepted anywhere because its an international visa. At least in my experience, every purchase I made was denied yet they still charged my card. I have to now waste my time calling every merchant for proof that the purchase was denied and wait for them to fax Epassporte which is just as much fun as grinding play chips... they say they do it then don't.
2. What Should I do here? Cashed out 395.00 of my left over money from ultimate bet. They said the check was received and cashed at wacovia bank. Guys I don't even have a Wacovia Account. Are they trying to fuck with me? Am I seriously out of 395.00 for no reason???!!!
I had them mail me a copy of the cashed check but really What will this do? I'm not the type to put in smily faces but seriously this is

For talking to people I'd recommend "I'm up $100" rather than "I won $100"
Good luck with your BR system.
