Title: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ?
Post by: Tank Maestro on September 07, 2006, 05:00:59 PM
Everytime I have a good run and build a bankroll I always have a night where I come on bladdered and cause severe damage to my bank balance which I then have to play a couple of weeks to get it back again.  It means I am always playing on the edge I just wish I could build a nice cushion but I seem incapable of keeping myself off the computer when drunk.

This Thread Title is offensive, but I am perhaps being a bit sensitive, & I've asked the Mods for their opinion.

People who can construct a coherent sentence. :)

I think it should be changed to, "Is anyone else Flushy-esque like me?"  ;goodvevil;

Indeed - no one could have any grounds for complaint with that title.

True, I'm a much worse cash game player and play AK like a muppet.

No, i like the Flushy one!

offensive to who?

people with learning difficulties, and people who object to such words being used to describe those with learning difficulties.  

Personally, I think your revised title is better, although I know it's likely that that would offend some people as well!

It's used in every online pokeroom all day long. It's a word that to me doesn't mean what it means to non-poker players. To me its when someone does something very stupid in a game rather than someone with learning difficulties.

Is the bad grammar in the title tongue in cheek.

Wont all the idiots object to the new title ?  ;goodvevil;

Thanks for changing the title, that's now fine.

No that was a typing error.

Understood Flushy, entirely understood, but it IS offensive to many, & with good reason.

But it's been changed now, so that's sorted.

On reflection i think the flushy title is offensive to bad poker playing drunken idiots :D

is it changed?  only on one post - it really needs to be changed on the first post.

How do I change the original?

You are right Claw - I never realised it had not been changed on the others, I'm sorry.

We will change it if Tank Maestro does not do so.

I didn't create the thread to offend anybody I just wanted to let off steam as I am sitting here feeling rather sick, and pretty angry with myself too.  I couldn't have done it at a worse time too as I am off to london tomorrow to play the betfair forum game and will spending quite a few £££££

Next time you go out drinking, give your mouse to your next door neighbour for the night.

Yes I have had a few nights where I've come in drunk and lost a lot of $$, its a serious lack of discipline but I can't help myself most of the time.  I have also won vast sums drunk as well though in fact I'd say I'm probably in front on drunken poker, but not in recent times.

Maybe drunken poker could be a new sport.

I'm a total idiot!!

I never play cash games cus I'm not very good at them, and I always end up playing when drunk cus you can join in whenever u want as opposed to waiting half an hour for the tourney of your choice. I reckon this year I've done about $15k when pissed, its a good job I've made a hell of a lot from tourneys when sober!!!

Come the rest of you admit it and the amounts youv'e lost!

Wouldn't like to add it up. So many hours of decent play undone in a few minutes of high octane bluffing at high levels.

whilst i would say i play my best poker when semi pished (say 6 cans of stella) i make the mistake of carrying on drinking and playing.  I normally play $5 or $10 sit and goes. 

the other night i felt compelled to play $100 heads up.  £300 loss later and feeling like 'i know i will regret this in the morning' i deposit £250 and sit at $3 $6 with $450.  previosuly i only ever played 25 c/50 c.  i managed to claw back $200 but in hindsight realise that i was 'AN IDIOT'

I never drink when I play...never ever ever....then again...i still suck.

Gambling and alcohol doesn't mix...atleast not when you want to be successfull...therefore i also don't drink when I play small live tourneys.
