Most jobs do not provide value to humanity, and many of them actually destroy people's health (which is obviously more important than expendable money on poker), so I don't really get the hate on poker when, for example, the food industry is killing millions of people every year and the entertainment industry is turning kids into retarded puppets. Nobody is forced to do anything, and by the way if you hate people wasting their money then you should be even angrier about the guys donating on twitchtv.

it's true man. there are a lot of industries that do quite a bit of harm. but there are also lots of industries that provide benefit as well. Overall the problem lies with humanity itself.

Good to hear from ya Cloud, although I see quite frequently commenting in the One Piece thread, the best series in the world!

Are you also playing live in some shady mafia underground cashgames haha?
Also only Stars or multiplattforming?

Wait... there is a liquidpoker forum? Cloud, you just changed my life. Thank you.
I also recently got into poker again but I suck. I hope you'll continue to post occasionaly, I am extremely interested. A friend of mine makes about 1k a month and I am trying to get to a point where I make more than 0.3-0.5$ an hour (with no success).

Haha, yeah, I took one of those free $20 on some site, and oscillated between 10 and 20 on lowest limit for a while before I got bored. I did some calculations in the end, and I think I effectively took around $50 from players, and gave them to the poker site in rake. So well, good investment on their side to give me the free $20 (that I couldn't withdraw anyway) I guess...

But obviously the people you really want to play with to make money off are also people who are feeding money into the system because they have a problem, and you enable that problem by playing with them.

Have you noticed how the people who have "addiction problems" in poker are always the people who are losing? The people who win keep playing just as much as the people who keep losing, but nobody feels sorry for them because of how addicted they become, and nobody is blamed for enabling them.

The problem is losing, not gambling.

Good luck on your way to 100k

what limits are you playing?

It's kind of annoying how on pokerstars (and really any poker room i guess?) you can only sit with other italians. Silly gambling laws.
