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.

Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: Tank Maestro on September 07, 2006, 05:04:59 PM Why what's up with it?
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: yt on September 07, 2006, 05:05:46 PM i object to your title What the grammer or the content ;)Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: yt on September 07, 2006, 05:07:07 PM Why what's up with it? I've been warned for similar mateyTitle: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: tikay on September 07, 2006, 05:07:11 PM This Thread Title is offensive, but I am perhaps being a bit sensitive, & I've asked the Mods for their opinion.
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: Tank Maestro on September 07, 2006, 05:08:28 PM offensive to who?
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: AndrewT on September 07, 2006, 05:09:05 PM offensive to who? People who can construct a coherent sentence. :) Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: NoflopsHomer on September 07, 2006, 05:09:43 PM I think it should be changed to, "Is anyone else Flushy-esque like me?" ;goodvevil;

Post by: AndrewT on September 07, 2006, 05:10:27 PM 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. Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: Royal Flush on September 07, 2006, 05:10:58 PM I think it should be changed to, "Is anyone else Flushy-esque like me?" ;goodvevil; Far more offensive.... Title: I am an idiot Post by: Tank Maestro on September 07, 2006, 05:11:57 PM better?

True, I'm a much worse cash game player and play AK like a muppet. Title: Re: I am an idiot Post by: bolt pp on September 07, 2006, 05:13:15 PM Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: Claw75 on September 07, 2006, 05:13:50 PM 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! Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: Royal Flush on September 07, 2006, 05:15:52 PM 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.
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: SupaMonkey on September 07, 2006, 05:16:16 PM Is the bad grammar in the title tongue in cheek.
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: CelticGeezeer on September 07, 2006, 05:16:26 PM Wont all the idiots object to the new title ? ;goodvevil;
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: tikay on September 07, 2006, 05:17:37 PM Thanks for changing the title, that's now fine.
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: Tank Maestro on September 07, 2006, 05:17:54 PM No that was a typing error.
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: tikay on September 07, 2006, 05:19:11 PM 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. Understood Flushy, entirely understood, but it IS offensive to many, & with good reason. But it's been changed now, so that's sorted. Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: bolt pp on September 07, 2006, 05:20:41 PM On reflection i think the flushy title is offensive to bad poker playing drunken idiots :D

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. Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: Tank Maestro on September 07, 2006, 05:27:54 PM 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 £££££

Post by: WellChief on September 08, 2006, 01:41:05 AM 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.
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: SupaMonkey on September 08, 2006, 02:00:24 AM Maybe drunken poker could be a new sport.
Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: bolt pp on September 08, 2006, 02:08:23 AM Maybe drunken poker could be a new sport. A "new" sport? i thought it was currently the most most poular type! Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: Woodsey on September 08, 2006, 02:58:28 AM 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! Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: ACE2M on September 08, 2006, 09:37:44 AM 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. Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: saintdave on September 11, 2006, 12:17:00 PM 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' Title: Re: Is anyone else an Idiot like me ? Post by: boldie on September 11, 2006, 12:53:17 PM 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. |
