Why are you laughing? If you want to get into porn, that's where you will more than likely have to start. Peter North did it. | ||

What do you think of the idea of getting a part-time job to cover some of your bills while trying to build up your BR again? Depending on where he lives, it may be difficult to get a job at the moment. There is always the option of being the hated English teacher abroad  Honestly, that's what I would do if I couldn't get a better job. | ||

But... usually if you're good enough to do it for a living then the limit you're playing goes up, not down. | ||

If I had to describe the worst possible wage employee, 99% of the character traits I list would align with the exact personality of a poker degenerate. | ||

With the economic crisis having a tight grasp on America, it actually might be his best bet to get his head clear, analyse the flaws in his play and make another attempt. Molte, where in Germany do you live, if I may ask? | ||

I like learning languages, and would consider teaching English just to have the opportunity to do linguistic immersion somewhere (in Europe,) but I'm not certain if that is travis' forte. Molte, where in Germany do you live, if I may ask? Franconia | ||

I think I would just like to do something simple that I can take joy out of for a living. If I could walk for a living I would do that for sure. yeah.. there is so many mental problems that I have when I play poker. I have been dealing with debt for a long time now and it's just been so stressful for so long. I used to be so much better back when I had a clear head. really that's the main reason I want to stop, because I can't figure out how to keep my head clear but still stay motivated. I mean the game isn't even fun for me anymore it's just boring(largely because im playing at low stakes). So to keep my focus up i have to make myself care. But when I make myself care, bad beats bother me more. So it's just kinda gay. but I've never been good at making myself do things I don't actually want to do. I can't do porn b/c I am a virgin and I have no intentions of ever having sex. otherwise that actually sounds like a good idea lol. Dude I know some one that works for bangbros and he makes about 1200$ a week. Lose your virginity asap seriously! If not then try to get a customer service job with a porn industry, they also make mad money. | ||

Well what you said didn't really answer my question. I asked, on a site where I'm sure there's at least 10 people playing NL100 or more, why is it that the only guy who has a poker icon is playing NL50? That'd be like if, on liquid poker where there's ex SC pros like Elky, Grrrr..., and Rekrul, if they randomly gave the only starcraft icon to some guy who's C on ICCUP. You said that limits can change, so by that I assume that you used to play higher limits and you've been forced to drop down. Is that right? But that's a really bad sign if you're forced to drop down that much... that means you really should stop playing poker at least for a while. Sorry if I'm being an asshole about this, I just think it's weird. | ||

Sorry if I'm being an asshole about this, I just think it's weird. and I answered by saying the poker icon is my icon. it has nothing to do with what limits I or anyone else is playing. so if your question is "why are you playing 50nl" then you should ask that. or if your question is "how did you get your poker icon", then you should ask that. anyways to answer all of it: I have had this icon for years. When I got this icon poker was basically my life. I am not sure what limits I was playing, but I am a degen and in my poker carreer I have moved up and down a lot. and yes you are still being an asshole. I am not taking offense because I don't think you intend any, but that is still how you appear to me. I mean what, do you think I am not aware that it's better for me to be able to play higher limits than to play low ones? wtf? | ||

I mean that I was awkward and super introverted back in my school years, I never developed much of a sex drive or a desire to have sex, and so it never happened. I have never even had a girlfriend. There have been a couple opportunities the last couple years but really I just am not interested in that sort of thing. Sex could possibly happen for me if something crazy happened, like a hot girl was basically seducing me, but for some reason I don't think it will. I am pretty comfortable with being celibate actually. There are certain benefits to it. | ||
