Do You Remember When?? - Page 2

Love the post Joe. Incredible as much as I want to hate and talk shit about you I cant help but love your personality and honesty as evident in this blog!

In all honesty though, how happy right now that you didn't splurge and purchase that ferrari a few months back?

mmmm truthspeaker, i wish i would have bought it because i would have probably stopped after lost xxx amount when had the same amount i have now and still had the ferrari, i kinda kept losing money just becaue i could afford it which is pretty terrible sadly

Joking aside, I can't help but wonder how many champs out there have fallen off the throne due to partying/booze/drugs/complacency. Obviously, some people can party hard every day and still crush life, but I think they are the outlier. It seems to me that when people have success or failure, they like to celebrate or console themselves(with mind-altering substances/food/women/etc). Mind altering substances do just that -- alter the mind. In a game like poker, where every decision affects your EV, even a small loss of mental acuity can result in heavy consequences. I think in some cases it can lead to a semi-perma-tilt. Clearly there many different reasons for being off of your game, I'm not trying to villainize partying/booze/drugs, "The dose makes the poison". I'm mentioning it because I read your previous blog post about consuming MDMA. I think of people like Galfond, Nano, Dang's, Antonius, etc; they appear to me to be fairly health conscious and not that big of partiers. I could be wrong and I'm sure they have all been wasted many times. My point is, losing focus is easy and detrimental to attaining success and holding on to it. Anyways, good luck.

I'm really not too sure how much of an effect it had. I partied for 3 months straight before september and had a 200k month, I stopped partying is when I started losing again. But my mind was always on it so im just not sure of the real importance of it.

How fucked up life can be. This blog and longpole's post make me reflect back to how fucked up downswings can be. If anyone is ever in the CHI area let's drink some Champagne for the Pain. Can't get high for the low anymore but champagne for the pain is where it's at. Kiss some Molly under the Holly and find some Bad Bitch Hoes under the Misteltoes. Good Luck All. Variance in No Limit Hold Them and Pot Limit Omahas seems ridic these days.

YOOOOOO we can get fucked up anytime together lol

Good shit man, I'm rooting for you! I miss poker . Stupid USA. Not that I was ever any good, but yeah LPers fighting!
