No just in gambling in general. I know you do this for a living so how do you control yourself after having a bad night.Comment -
there is a poster here named monkeyfocker??????
that is awesome..... I wish he posted moreComment -
u just posted yesterday you wanted to quit work and gamble all dayComment -
patty, you asked the right guy here, cause if anyone knows what it's like to lose, it's monkeyfukker. no one loses more consistently than this guy. he's a loser..Comment -
Okay well someone give me their advice on just letting a losing day go. I've been steaming the past 5 hours.Comment -
Patty you went 1-4.... the fact that you didn't go 4-17 like 90% of the posters here, says alot about you...
you know you are sharp..... its always been about your emotions... You know WHAT to do, but you haven't been able to wrangle in your emotions.....
this is your final battle to overcome... how to resist the urge to go on tilt...to chase ect.
Every good gambler has a different outlet..
I start off with playing kenny nelson's gambler on youtube 4 times... then go and workout, and do somthing outdoors, even if it is -15 out. somtimes I take the battery out of my laptop and give it to my girl and tell her not to give it back to me for 12 hrs..Comment -
It takes some discipline. I started with poker and once I figured out how to be disciplined at the poker tables it carried over naturally to sports. There are always days where things just aren't going your way. In poker, I always set a buyin limit for myself each session. I generally limit myself to 2 max buyins. 3 if the game is particularly donkish. You just have to keep in mind that if someone chases down a 2-out river, you want them calling you down. It's not cool when they hit, but you want that action. You just always have to think of things in a long term perspective. I know it's hard to do when you're running bad, but you have to. You can transfer that mentality over to sports as well. You simply play your edges when you find them. If they don't cash, you take your lumps and wait for the next day.Comment -
patty, did i tell you this guy knew what losing is all about. did you just see how long his post was. i never saw his post be this long ever. he knows alot about losing..
monkey knows because when he plays poker all night and loses 11 dollars on his 1 buck hands, he handles it well..Comment -
At the poker tables, you should embrace someone else's poor play. I often give them the "Nice hand" compliment if some donk sucks out on the river with no odds. You have to realize you want those players at the table...Comment -
I've never played anything in a casino or anything in any online casino..... I hope I never will, as i'm sure I would lose alot.
what is a donk?Comment -
A -EV player. Sort of like Nicky or wtf...Comment -
dont be angry cause your broke monkey, nicky got you pegged big time
maybe you should change the parameters of that program you haveComment -
Patty, call a hooker, get bj, and your mind will be clear. Then you can make smarter decisions tomorrow.Comment -
I was running bad in poker for a few weeks about 3 months ago. I'd get all-in preflop with AA vs. AK and they'd flop broadway on me (QJT). It didn't matter how much of an advantage I had, they'd get there. What you can do in those cases, is drop down in stakes for a bit to play through it and regain your confidence. I dropped down to $1-$2 NL for a week and after murdering a few tables, I could go back up to the $2-$5 NL and $5-$10 NL games feeling good about my game again.Comment -
Sports is a different animal though. You have to use Kelly so you can manage your bankroll effectively. With flat betting, you are either under-betting or over-betting your edges. This can have serious consequences on long term growth. In sports betting, a lot of times I don't even watch the games. That can help you too if you feel the need to chase after a big loss or several losses.Comment -
holy shit this guy has 5k+ posts and his been here since june 07 and i've never heard of him... I've been lurking since march madness of 07 and posting for 9-ish months.....
why are you guys so mean to him??? he seems like a nice harmless guy to me....
Monkey obviously you know to ignore Nicky by now... he tells a lie for each ugly dark arm hair on each of his forearms each day..... its documentedComment -
Yeah. He's simply bitter because I've exposed him as a fraud and a con artist several times...Comment -
This is my ultimate downfall. I need help not chasing.Comment -
he's learned to ignore me? have you been sleeping archie.. this guy has been following me around in every thread hounding me looking for my attention now for the last 8 solid months. he is jealous because he wants to be a winning gambler cause he's a loser. the guy is totally obsessed with me. he comes into everyone of my threads and bothers me.. every post i make anywhere, he's there 2 min after. it's like he hangs out here all day waiting for me to post so he can come in and try to get my attention..
he's a jealous punk who cant win in gambling, so he's bitter now.. he's clueless archie.Comment -
well now i've heard of both of you......
i'm too tired and jrunk to really figure out how is sharp or not.....
Nicky until you make another vid..... I'm not even sure who you are anymore
by the way are the habs or pens any good this year?Comment -
It's so much easier to do here in Vegas too since you can simply bring a set amount of cash with you so you don't even have that temptation. Hang a note on your computer monitor. Remind yourself often. For sports, it's simple if you don't watch the games. Check them the next day. In poker, make it a habit of dropping down a level in stakes each time you lose a buyin. When you double up at that level, you go back up a level (as long as the level above doesn't exceed bankroll management).Comment -
