By:
I'm 38
own my own flat paid for & will probably quit playing poker with 100k in my bank want to buy a house next year or so , but what is the point , i'm single & will only get old & never spend the cash  |
|
By:
will still play , gamble to pay bills etc
but won't need to do it full time like i do , played 6am till 6pm today , my eyes will be fcked by 40  |

Why resign yourself to being single ? Why not bring some little runt into the world and leave him all your money.?
And why quit poker .If you are good enough to have 100k why not try make a million in a live tournament ? |

You need to get a partner to share lifes experiences with,as a bonus it will ensure you do not spend 12 hours in front of a PC as that's a sure fire way to a early grave.

By:
Partners all work though , that's their sad life , and expect it to be yours too , they then call you lazy for not working (for them) !!
Don't get me wrong i'd love a nice girl/wife , but at my age all they're interested in is your money , as long as you're ok looking , which i am ..... Just don't trust them tbh |

Mc Moonbeam as you know there is far more to life than money, also material objects.
At the age of just 38, there is plenty of time, to find what will bring you peace of mind,and your values on life will change, many many times over the next thirty or forty years. All the very best to you. |

Do you have any hobbies? Why not play some sport? Gets you out of the house, makes you feel better and it is healthy.
|

By:
Nearly forgot, and you meet people.

By:
thanks SPOT , 38 just doesn't seem that young to me now , will be 40 soon , and 50 game over !
|

By:
Mc Moonbeam as you know there is far more to life than money
Yes but it's a close run thing. I'll take the money and chance the rest coming good. |
|
By:
don't wanna meet some greedy cow that wants my money , would rather just go abroad , or buy a dog & a boat
 |
|
By:
spelling you're Single though , and no doubt much richer than me
|
|
By:
wouldnt gamble for a living if i had to play online poker all the time. maybe take a break and get out of the house for a while.
|
|
By:
I'm toning it down after this year Jimmy , am working my balls off this year to boost my bank , but can't see the point any longer tbh
was planning to buy a house & keep my flat to rent , if i make enough , but the long term is rich on paper , and not much else |
|
By:
have played for 10 years now , non stop every day !!!!!!!!!!
|

By:
Not single, divorced but have met up with an old flame. Buying a dog is a good idea, Hall Green is near to you, a grand or so will get you a grader and not much on monthly expenses.
|
|
By:
i think i'm a sadist at heart
truth is what else would i do with my time when i'm Rich ? |
|
By:
wouldn't risk a greyhound tbh mate , they all just seem to lose thousands & don't trust the dodgy owners etc , prefer a furry friend if you know what i mean , you 're obsessed more than i am with poker , lol
|
|
By:
you have done well for yourself moonbeam. Just need to find that balance between work and play.
You dont need a girl to make you happy. Most of them just after the money anyway mate. Take a break and go away on holiday for a few weeks. Get poker out your mind and think about what makes you happy and when you have an idea then decide how your going to change your life for the better |
|
By:
all i want , is to be Free , tbh mate !
|
|
By:
Id imagine playing that much and not varying activities at all couple of days somewhere else doing something else might help, good luck anyway.
|

By:
Stop being so money obsessed. My Godfather, my Dad's only brother out of eleven, owns at least 100 houses and he is without doubt the most miserable fecker on the planet. Money is not everything.

i've struggled for so many years i probably don't realize what fun i could be having , many would kill me for what i have , others would just laugh at me ................

By:
Go for a run. Good thinking time and you will feel good afterwards.
|
|
By:
I know it's not mate, and i haven't been handed it either , i've earnt & lost every Pound i own , but society conditions us to work for our future etc , when there isn't any really , they just waste our lives away !!!!!
|
|
By:
why are you so obsessed with it then , when you don't need it , it isn't that enjoyable , or easy is it
|
|
By:
I don't even eat nowadays , fridge full of meat & just sit here drinking smoking
|
|
By:
If that was to me I'm not, quite the opposite in fact.
|
|
By:
You need to spend your winnings on something imo, it helps you feel better.
For starters if i was as good as you at poker i would have a top notch pc, armchair from heaven etc. |
|
By:
Could be worse , you could spend every waking hour on here and be potless !
Difficult to gain sympathy with 100k in the bank at just 38 .... Your brain is clearly starting to fry ....take a break and relax. |
|
By:
Yes sry no offence
but personally i don't enjoy gambling & can't see the point if you don't need to win , if you don't need the money you have no fire to burn , imo |
|
By:
would you like me to send you some of my tablets?
|
|
By:
why dont you just f off to Thailand like all the other sad f%*kers..hth.
|
|
By:
I'm not looking for any sympathy , i made my own path , i'll live with it
just interested in peoples points of view really , but yes my head is fcked , i suffer from burn out at least every 2 months , it's not a nice way to live ! |
|
By:
Weve been through all this with you about twenty times moonbeam. It is time to stop whining, stop talking and do something. You know what to do.. Get out the fking flat, find something you like and do it. Travelling, sport, the arts, whatever as long as it involves meeting people. If you are worried they will be after your money dont tell them you have any money.

and am sick of listening to petty fckers like crags etc on here belittle me .......
live the life then walk the talk ........... |
