im attending my first gamblers annonymous meeting this weekend. I just lost $3000 in the past few days. I talked to my bank and asked them what to do. They said that the account will be shut down in 45 days. I gotta talk to my mom and dad about this. Im considering dropping out of school for a few quarters so i can pay back the 3 grand. i figure if i pay off 300 a month ill be done in a year or so.

It sucks how you get caught up in something, dont realize what you are doing and keep on doing it and let it have long term implications for your future. I thought about commiting suicide but i realize that will cause even more problems than i have now, and it wont just be my problem.

I guess this is one of those growing experiences that i look back on and use as a cautionary tale for my next of kin.

I hope all of you dont get caught up in this like i did.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

So tonight, I played a home game, $100 buy in, $1-$2 blinds, no limit hold 'em. I lost $135 in the first 30 minutes. I was pissed - I was getting drawn out on repeatedly. It was ridiculous.

I was so pissed, in fact, that I went to the ATM and withdrew another $200, went back in, and played until I made my money back. I actually got back up to $470 or so, but it was shorthanded - and of the other 3 players, there were two I absolutely couldnt' beat. One of them ALWAYS draws out on me, no matter WHAT, and the other one had too many chips. I lost some money and cashed out at $345 - up $10 for the night. Woohoo!!!

On another note, I almost lunged across the poker table at someone. One of the guys playing was repeatedly slow-rolling people. That means that when the showdown came, and everyone in the hand showed their cards, he would hold onto his for at least 10 seconds before laying down the best hand. Well, actually I didn't almost get physically violent, but from the way I was *****ing the guy out the rest of the table thought I was going to. Oh well.

In any case, I'm up almost exactly $700 for the week. I think I'll make one more stab at Partypoker.com, see if I can get up to +$1000. We'll see how it goes

Eh?

Anyway, I already lost $50 online on more bullshit. Looks like the beginning of the week was my time, and the end of the week is not my time. I lost my money on trip Queens and two pair. Whatever.

I guess I'm just up $650 for the week. **** me if that isn't ****ing disappointed.
