Quit fucking berating me and calling me a thief and other shit I never try to do anything but help people and get massively negative comments about everything I do and its insanely annoying.

good luck



and LOL.. multiple accounts = ban?

The way I feel im pretty sure is comparable to a felon in the real world.

I can't do anything right and even if i do some random fag chimes in saying "LOL YOU DONT EVEN PLAY NL50" or "LOL UR A THIEF SCUMBAG FUCK"

I'm not saying i don't deserve some of that because I have gave none of you any reason to respect me but for the love of god can a guy get a 2nd chance in the world

delusional

I am delusional, that's fine.

LOL that +7000 posts amounts to nothing more than this:

Best of luck man. Make sMi proud

Good luck.

sucks that you can't just get good at poker, for whatever reason

GL pal, but if you're moving to NY 1k a week isn't gonna be THAT huge. I mean it's still good, but it won't go close to as far as it does in your hometown. Where are you going to live?

yeah i was going to say that too do you have a place to live and all that stuff

yeah i get paid $600 a week per diem on top of salary

If you now have a job, and everything seems to be going smoothly without poker. Why dont you just stop and keep enjoying life? Pokers not everything

GL on the interview!

I hope you don't take what I'm gonna say negatively because I'm not meaning to put you down and it really is sincere...

I hate saying this because I end up sounding like my parents, but I'm a lot older than you are, I've made many mistakes in my youth and I've seen many different situations.

And I truly believe that the one thing that is holding you back is this mentality that you're entitled to something. Like for example, you haven't even gone to this interview yet and you say that you are a shoe-in. Or whenever someone takes down a big tourney, you go "I'm so due". Or how you talk about how you crush so and so stakes. Look, self confidence is a good thing, but there is a point where it actually is detrimental.

People think that successful people are that way because they think big and aim high. That is true but more importantly, they do things one step at a time. While they may have the bigger picture in mind, they focus on the immediate task at hand. Your mindset is evident in the way you approach poker. You have this 0 - 100K goal. Thing is, you need to take that one step at a time, while you may have in mind a goal that you want to hit 100K, that isn't what you should be thinking about day in and day out. You should focus first on 100$ and take it step by step.

I've seen many people with really big ambitions always talk about making it big in life and always going for the home run. I was like that myself for quite some time. I've realized that the common thread in successful people is that they are more practical about their goals. They plan long term but focus on getting closer step by step rather than trying to get it all in one shot and that way, they set themselves up for success rather than failure. And success breeds success.

Interestingly, I've known quite a few people who share your mindset, with me 7 years ago being one of them. And every single one also does the same thing that you do constantly, which is talk about your successes before they happen. Like you haven't even gotten this job yet and you're already planning your move to NY and how you're gonna be ballin and saving, etc. This is consistent with the whole not going step by step thing that I've talked about. You can't imagine how many times I've heard people say oh, I'm gonna be a baller cuz I just became a stock broker or a day trader or joined a forex trading desk, etc. And I'm gonna buy this and that and I'm gonna be a baller! The guys that talk about how baller they are gonna be NEVER became ballers. The true ballers were focused on actually getting things done and getting ahead while the fools were in their own little world daydreaming about how baller they gonna be.

I wish you the best of luck on this and I hope everything works out. I'm just speaking from experience that there are a lot of opportunities that seem really good but are in actuality just a dead end job that pays well only for a select few while the rest make peanuts. Despite everything that I've said, I do think that you're a smart guy and if you take a better more practical approach to life, I think you can be successful. And NY is a really tough place for a farm boy. If things do pan out and you decide to move here, I'll help you out as much as I can.
