As you can tell by the title, this is a pretty straight forward idea that I'm running with: document my online poker gambling exploits, if for nothing more than to have something for my family and friends to remember me by if I happen to blow my brains out after losing whatever savings I have left to Pokerstars.
Previously I had been rather successful with my online poker nonsense that I had involved myself with. Cashing out a couple hundred bucks every so often, eventually pumping it right back in 5x's more of what I had originally won, but cashing out none the less. Therein lies the problem: I have a highly addictive personality, that being said Gambling just happens to be one of my 4 crippling vices. I think the pinnacle of 3 of the 4 horsemen coming together was one night back in May. Coming home from el gato, completely stewed, I decide to jump onto pokerstars and try my luck at the $1/$2 NL table. Buying in for approximately 100 dollars, I quickly went all in when I saw the other stacks I was up against(ie, $400 dollars and up). So one of the 40 year old virgins that I was playing against decides to call me, and I suck out a card on the river and double up. Cool, 200 bucks. A normal person would go to sleep. Nahhhhhhh, I continued to play -- eventually changing the limit to $3/$6 dollar NL and getting up to $800 at one point. Continuing to drink and telling the people at the table just how twisted I was, I decided to hit the hay at about 6am with $600 in my account.
Waking up and feeling like death run over, I decide to jump right back on the pokerstars train to financial ruin, and blow about $200 before most people even consider eating lunch. Still, that puts me at 4x's what I originally started with the night before, but then the retard gene kicks in and I decide that I won't stop until I am broke or get back up to $800. Stupid.
All in all, I wind up losing the rest of the loot that I have in my account, and re-invest to try and win back the money I will lose in Atlantic City. Neither of which happens of course, and -- oh shit, I have to wrap this up there's a 600 person tournament starting up that I have to get in on.
