I'm gonna take 1900 of the bankroll out with me tonight.

white_lytning · Aug 23, 2008

So tonight was the fantasy football draft, and someone said something about the strip club and something else. Long story short. I'm about to practice bad bankroll management. Have any of you done something similar? I see my poker money as fun money, and that is kinda the reason my bankroll doesn't grow to where I want it. Strippers, bikes, bars. Its all bad decisions, and its all happening tonight.

Holler!

Me , a friend and my brother in law between the 3 of us spent over 7500 at a strip club in Atlantsa when I lived there. Dumbest thing waqs my brother in law was so drunk he thought he should give one of the strippers his wallet to hold so he doesnt lose it. That was another 1200 gone for him lol

I recommend chemical castration, or atleast an actual woman to waste money on.

that was back when the buisness we were in could bring in 20k a week on good weeks...ofc on bad weeks you got nothing and we were not good at money management as you could guess. But damn we got the "VIP" treatment

Well before i started supporting myself with poker i used to look at it like play money too and blow on booze, strippers and pot. It was all good times(really good times) but once i decided to do this poker thing as a living i had to stop wastin it on booze and strippers(not pot luv it) but i say as long as u have money to pay ur bills and feed ur self have a ball

I probably passed right where you were the other day lol. There are about 4-5 of those places right in a row. There's the Cheetah.. can't remember the rest. I went in the Cheetah one night when I was about 20. My first time in one of those places. Ewwww..

bw07507 · Aug 24, 2008

lol wtf?? I can't even imagine spending $100 at a stripclub let alone $1900. Seriously, they take one dollar bills guys

LeanAndMean · Aug 24, 2008

Oh come on!!

You gotta be kidding. There are so many good places to waste your money. This is from a female perspective. Spending money on something that won't feel good the next day is like losing it at the poker tables. There is no win in strippers and booze.

gnk2727 · Aug 24, 2008

Its just silly to throw that kind of money around to a stripper. Just get urself a GF there is no difference............

Difference = ownership compared to rentals... no maintenance needed for rentals

deadhxc, I hope you got the champagne treatment for that much

aliengenius · Aug 24, 2008

Yeah, I did it in Vegas ('only' $1K). Bad move. I'm still a little sick about it.

The problem with this ^^ is that strippers in a club can't even be considered "rentals". Its more like going into the new car showroom and only being able to touch the fenders, but still walk out of there in debt.

Seriously... if you are going to "rent" then at least get a BJ (edit: heh... blackjack=BJ) out of it.

aliengenius · Aug 24, 2008

For $1900 you can take a girl to Vegas for a couple of nights and play high roller:

air:

get a "room":

rent a "car":

= $1658, with $252 left over to eat...

If you have a way to get free flights (air/credit card miles?) then you can even have some money to see a show, hit a club, and gambool a little (although hopefully you wont leave the suite, heh).

Choose wisely young grasshopper...

white_lytning · Aug 26, 2008

Aliengenius,

Much respect for that post. You are my new favorite poster on here.

Luckily for me, some of the booze wore off in between making that post (which I have to pat myself on the back for my grammar and spelling in that state) and getting to the club.

I still spent $300 but, it was well worth it. I had a problem with this strip club, pretty close to my house, and the times my poker game has been good, I would go there after every casino session.

I need to get to Vegas, I have been trying to make it out there for the past few months, and instead of just ended up in AC 3 times.

Anyway, had a good session tonight, and got my money back plus some. But this post is a pretty good example of my poor management skills. When I reach a milestone with the BR I like to spoil myself. I need to get a little more cash before I go out there. I want to get enough to play 5/10nl when I'm out there, and prevent myself from going broke, if it ends bad.

Vegas in October? Whos down, can't beat that price, (I won't get the car or high roller sweet)

"Welcome to Atlanta where the players play..."

OMG SO LOL ALIENG

ncmtngirl79 · Aug 26, 2008

ummmmmmmm, your 1900 dollars do what you want with it, i like seamless after dark in vegas, and 1900 doesn't last you as long as you think in vegas, that guys plan leaves you 232 dollars for a couple a days, good luck with that... waste your money, live with the consequences, make sure your lap dance and private room is totally worth it!

I was going to say, yeah, I do it all the time.

But I read further, and no I don't do that kind of bad bankroll management.

My bad BRM consists of playing for larger stakes than I should. Sometimes I get bored ........

chrisp200 · Aug 26, 2008

Defintly can spend a ton a money at a strip club....$1000 is minimum for say a bachelor party....just a room upstairs, 2 girls, and booze for a half hour cost $400 at a good club

I'm gonna take 1900 of the bankroll out with me tonight.
