Just makes me a lot of money.

Yeah, definitely.

You can't, but I don't know.

You can also lose a lot of money in a very short amount of time, which is a bit of a foreign feeling for me, you know?

What's the biggest loss you've had?

Oh my gosh, this one was brutal.

I actually, okay, so this was when I was like first starting to get into poker and I booked this like,

unbelievably disproportionate loss to like what I was willing to lose into my bankroll at the time.

Truthfully, now in my sessions, I kind of cap my losses to like 1.5K, 2K like per session if I think the game is good and I'm just like not, you know what I mean?

Like, and I'm willing to put in that much money.

Like I am willing to lose that in a day.

However, there was this one day, I think it was like around 2022 or something.

So this was a couple of years ago and I'm playing, I basically went, played in person, got,

Demolished like I got cooked I think I ended up losing like 3.5 K like in person in like a 2-5 game which wasn't that crazy like all things considered but it was just like the type of game that we were playing was very much just like all in all in all in like there was straddle straddle straddle it was like a huge game right so I lose like 3.5 K and truthfully I probably would have bought in more but I didn't have the cash on me so I'm like you know what this is a sign I'm gonna leave like I'm gonna leave but

I go back home and at this moment, like one of my friends texts me, he's like online tournaments running, like online cash games, they're popping off.

Like you got to play the text of the most, you know, degenerate thing ever.

Like you're probably used to it, but the, but yeah, so I get home and then I hop online and I lose like an additional 2.5 K online.

And I, yeah.

And I literally, I'm just sitting there and I'm like,

My bankroll was, like, 10K at the time, too.
