Cash games are just like you can win or lose aaaaany amount with no set amount you’re guaranteed risking & you’re not stuck playing so you can literally play for 5 mins or 10 hours in the same game. It’s way more freedom than tournaments but imo more basic / not as fun despite every single pot being $ won or lost vs. not knowing if you’re winning/losing until the end in tournaments. Ahhh @ him screen sharing it! You’re gonna learn the game eventually

Ahh not just 10 mins extra but nice cause there’s no way they’d ever know I used to work for my two cousins back like close to 10 years ago & it was like yours where I didn’t have to clock in / clock out so I’d always estimate to the next half hour / next hour but I was also getting underpaid, barely over min wage there, so it felt fair

I tried the cash games on the 3rd site again earlier & blew exactly $400 fairly quick then threw away another $60 on the little sit & go games **** I shouldn't have even played, took a break from a tournament session today but I couldn't resist the gambling as a whole But then I was pissed and said **** it and did try a $100 tournament on that site, only that 1. AT LEAST I finally got a win with that... an $83 profit which is at least something back for today and my FIRST damn tournament win since returning to that site... it's actually ****ing possible

For sure always good when you're in the mood to give casino another shot and then it goes well so you get the urge/fun out of the way AND a profit But then that's how I felt when I got back into casino games recently and then it down-spiraled & I def lost a lot more than I won between all my sessions Def not something to get hooked with vs. poker or even sports betting (I know you don't think so but sports betting really can go well over long periods of time, it's not that hard/bad )

Your kinda weather over here rn, maaaaaassive rain/thunder storm. Still too hot outside tho

Oh btw I just found out MLB (baseball) is starting up tomorrow as well. I MIGHT get into that betting too but prob not right away I'll have to see. I haven't followed MLB much in recent years tho but that hasn't stopped me from betting a bit in recent seasons (or betting darts/Nascar which I have no clue about) Also during quarantine now I think I might watch a lil bit.

That immediately reminded me of one of my past jobs (also office related but law firm) and one of my co-workers had music playing from her computer so distracted with that & I guess she wasn't expecting anyone to be around so when I walked in & said like "hey good morning" or w/e over the music she got scared & like JUMPED from her seat Had me laughing pretty hard like idk why but those kind of random jump scares people get over nothing makes me HOWL Ahhh getting paid the full amt despite chilling at home for the last 15 mins My job rn I get paid for my exact time/hours like by exact minute not even rounded at all but anything over 39.5 hours gets the full 40hr pay. So even tho I don't take TOO much advantage of it as it'd look bad I def tend to work more like an avg of 39.75 or less (usually leaving a bit early Friday when at the office but also everyone kinda does tbf)

It varies, I know I was doing kinda poorly in cash games before tracking (ups & downs tho but I felt like I was losing more) but winning lately at least. Tournaments are more profitable for me tho, even tho it's the same game you gotta play them pretty differently / different style as well so someone can be a good cash poker player but not a good tournament poker player & vice versa I got more used to my tournament style of play & all the good decisions/strategies to make etc. so I'm better with that personally. I have more patience with tournaments too cause I know it's a slow process to try to win big $ / any $ while cash games I want to get in on the action a bit too much because any pot won is an immediate + (but then any pot lost is a - so being impatient can go poorly)

Omfg the amount of upsets in this tournament is unreal My guy Joe being out </3 NOOO why'd you go for a $10 bet in this tournament that you kneeew was tough to call?

Yup best to get out while tired and you just kinda forget / don't realize how tired you even are then. Ahhh you living off the napping A one hour nap would annoy me tho, just kinda get that weird feeling after waking up but I've never been used to / able to nap properly throughout my whole life idk why. I have too much of a routine always I guess

Yup definitely NOT a good recommendation to gamble without a steady income coming in just in case you start losing a lot or else then you're totally ****ed. Your amounts seem fine tho, like affordable even if it does go bad but hopefully you don't go on a bad streak. Should DEF stay away from the roulette etc. games tho especially that strategy where you can end up losing $30 real quick

Ah did you used to start it at £1 in the past? You get 6 chances with a 50p start right? I've def lost 6 in a row plenty times before so best that you do quit while ahead for the small profits vs. a big loss The casino games are sooo fun tho but sooo toxic / basically guaranteed to lose $ over time so it does ruin the fun the more you think about it (especially after losing control recently & losing so much of my $ that was really hard to gain, it's a gross feeling )

Yup so far so good there. The cash games have recently gone BAD on one of my 2 usual sites but then great on the other & great on this 3rd site so far so I'll gladly take that 2/3 success rate & the overall nice + since tracking (+$600 combining the 3 sites' cash games). Tournaments have been a bit in the + but that's only because of 1 of my sites doing WELL & the other 2 flopping

Oh yeah handing out flyers to people like that would def be a chore, delivering to houses/mailboxes is way better. Lmaooo but yeah music would make that kinda job even better, I'd just think **** it and listen to the music anyway could try to just leave it in one ear or something but then idk you say you can't multitask so maybe you'd tune out all other sounds anyway

That was after 4am & finally got to sleep after 5am-ish then up before 10 Still between 4-5 hours which I don't think is AWFUL but I really feel it these days when I get so little sleep But yup major drag either way esp early in the day for me. Are you still sleeping all random times / in little spurts??

Damn maybe Joe Cullen has a shot to take it all with all these random upsets that have happened to some top players Hopefully 2/2 today to get these darts bets on the + side. Wait I can't remember now, did you make a bet for today at all?

Lmaooooo you prob got so scared after it got to 8? Do you think you’d have kept going? Def a good idea to quit while ahead after that scare. That strategy def screws you over eventually but so does betting for too long on any casino game/strategy I’m glad I’ve at least successfully taken a break on casino & since then I’ve been doing much better with my gambling again (even if a bit up & down but that’s expected/acceptable with the overall profits)
