Evening pol, what is your feeling on gambling, poker in particular but in general also? Where early white hunter gatherers big risk takers who passed it through the blood, leading to future risk takers? Studies show risk taking/gambling is high testosterone behavior and intense poker playing activates/develops the logical side of the brain. Europeans are likely the highest risk takers in history: hunting to wars, adventures to plunders to crime etc. This is not a promotion of gambling in any way, don't be a degenerate it is an addicting activity, you are delusional if you think you can make money in a casino consistently, very rarely people can and do. Personally I enjoy poker, occasionally I will stake a small amount live for a thrill, but usually I play for free online/at friends, but I am not delusional about this and understand it for what it is, an addicting vice surrounded by a degenerate culture despite enjoying it from time to time. Mind that, in the long run the grandest risks must be taken by men to change the courses of history, "He who is afraid to risk his life must never be permitted to win anything." -Ragnar Redbeard.
"Men are born for games . . . Games of chance require awager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve theskill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation ofdefeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficientstake because they inhere in the worth of the principals anddefine them. But trial of chance or trial of worth all gamesaspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all." -C. McCarthy (Blood Meridian)
If you don't learn Prussian military tradition, you will not obtain what you seek. The one you're looking for is likely a Junker (sp?).

I like poker too. I used to play all the time and not have a job till I hit a fucking year of bad luck and getting jew'd out of hands by gamblers playing 2/5 and 5/10 NL .Shut me down. A good poker player can make an easy few hundred+ a week playing 1/2 NL, but once you go higher stakes things change fast. A lot more gamblers with a lot of dough to throw around could easily fuck up any good player and it get more risky. I definitely think it helped me with logical thinking and reading peoples bullshit. But yeah lots of creepy villain degenerates who don't see the light of day ever. Hasidics are the worse players, mostly slumlords.... I've seen this guys loss 10 or 15 grand a night every night and not blink an eye. Rabbis being kicked out of the clubs for being to coked up and showing up with prostitutes. Good times.
Jordan Barnes
Interesting, you have my attention, elaborate if you will please?
So in other words, you have a gambling problem and you're trying to turn it into a white pride thing. What the fuck is wrong with blond white men? Why are they so consistently retarded and barbaric?
Charles Howard
Yes, larger buy ins will bully small time fellas. You could hypothetically make a few hundred per week extra at the table, but it will cost you time and enduring the degeneracy of a casino. Id say fuck the casino as a whole, its a institute of crime.
Why are you so self loathing Amicus, I have no gambling problem lmao, the discussion goes beyond card games into risk taking and how pussified we are that we don't take appreciable risks that improve our position as a people, read slower brainlet.
It was a diary or journal of his. In it he was writing something about the warrior spirit. I forgot what wording he used, but that's how I remember it as. To obtain this you must repeatedly put your own life at risk to a make a transformation into this state. He was adamant about needing to transform the soul in this manner. I really wish I had the text. I'm not sure what I did with it.

>started with 800 bucks in the stock market >now down to 300 should i just quit now? or try to salvage what i lost? feeling really down
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Very interesting, will look into it, thanks brother. Maybe you would be interested in Evola's: metaphysics of war, yourself.
I think Evola once made reference to this, and it made me do a double take because most of what he introduced to me was nonsense and unrelatable. This topic I was already familiar with. Hitler made this transformation of the soul in WWI by undertaking the riskiest missions. I wish I could recall where I was introduced to this.

depends what your stock is in. Generally cashing out means you lose any chance of recovery. I don't know what you invested in to lose so much so quickly and how leveraged you are.
Tell me what stocks you're holding
Jose Davis
Yeah man totally like Fight Club and stuff. Christ it's no wonder white men can't get laid anymore. You cringe-inducing bastards are so disgusting. Your brains are literally turning more to liquid every single year.
Jason Perez
You're conflating the calculated risks of hunting and exploring to gambling, which is a sin. Repent, for the wages of sin are death.
Robert Young

Leo Walker
OP, you're right to a point. Those who never take any risks don't achieve much greatness. Risk is usually proportional to reward.
The smart people find investments with enough possible reward and do everything they can to reduce the risk. Generally gambling is rigged by definition... poker comes to thosest to a "fair" game, although the dealer takes some of the money by default, so it's not a zero-sum game.
You can be "good" at power and consistently make money, but if you don't play very smart you can possibly wipe out what you've won, and there's always the chance you can get wiped out even if you are playing smart due to dumb luck.
Poker is the smart man's game of vice, as most people are dumb. Business is where the real risk-reward is at. You risk money upfront and investment and leverage your skills and experience to make your money work for you. This is why the west is the greatest civilization, not necessaril;y due to "gambling."
A company can spend 2 million to build a ship and sail it to uncharted lands... the ship could be destroyed at sea, or never come back... that's a risk. But the payoff if the ship comes back with good news is incredible.
The company will pay more for the best captains and do everything in order to lower their risk and leverage their reward.
John Adams
Yah it's to time consuming and all consuming in general grinding it out. Got a wife and a kid now can't be off in a casino all the time. One of my biggest gripes about it was there was never time to get laid by real women or have gf or any social life for that matter. Most gamblers get hookers. Funny thing is Jow Forums is my social life now
Camden Garcia
Pretty sure your a woman. Look at the pic, here ya go. Based and high rationale. Business is the way moving forward. Indeed, congrats on the family, I hope you become a grandfather one day, one of the most based figures.
there playing draw poker in that picture btw op. Holdem hasnt been around that long. also as a college kid who hasnt worked a job and instead played poker the last 3 years live 10-20 20-40 limit and some 2/5 nl when limit isnt up also mtt online your wrong about not being able to make consistent money playing. Its not that difficult to make a livable amount of money but most guys grinding it out are low key about it. also literally give me a couple of days and i can have most people beating live low stakes for a couple bucks an hour. Im lucky my buddy was pro and holds a wsop bracelet and a couple watches and helped coach me and encouraged me to take shots into higher stakes when he thought i was. Just some advice to u anons manage your roll and dont deviate to early and take retarded shots.having a great run? Maybe put one or teo buy ins every couple months into a higher stake OH AND ITS OK TO DROP STAKES. Some people get 2 prideful and wont want to drop down to a stake that supports a diminished roll but u gotta sometimes.Playing good abc poker will crush most stakes id say up to the 10-20 live limit and live 2/5nl anything higher you should be studied up and devote a fuck ton of time to the game onlines different the games are much tougher unless you play on international sites but all nj nevada delaware legal sites you should play lower stakes than u would live to equate to the difficulty
i was kind of planning to just swing trade, i wasnt intereted in holding stocks long term. i already have a separate muitual fund for long term security

There's nothing admirable about gambling, therefore I dont support it.
Grayson Morgan
As a Texan I say it’s part of my culture
Colton Butler
Even though I dont support gambling, I promote financial investing as well as taking business risks.
For the first five years of Pixar, it was losing 1 million dollars annually. If you shove enough money into anything it can succeed.
Levi Bell
Nice, I play ABC also, any good book material or did you get mentored for it all? I still won't promote/support using poker as a consistent income but ik what your saying.
Fair enough.
Interesting, Texan culture is great, steak and mushrooms baby.
Damn, 1m yearly, you are a high roller fren.
Charles Robinson
Lol oops I didn't get that right, I thought you were losing 1m/yr. What ROI did you collect?
Owen Bennett
As a Christian I share your sentiments on poker and to an extent drinking. It’s fine if you’re temperate about it and can be quick fun but you need to make sure you don’t get sucked up by it.
Jackson Ward
Also in regards to table games u can consistently win with understanding of the games. This isnt my area of expertise but some people ive met over the years will play anything theycan get an edge on. U obv know card counting blackjack can yield an edge even higher using deviations. Baccarat with edge sorting and u can get close to even with some strat that i dunno shit about. One game that can yield you a great edge that ill play on occasion if i have 5 buddies with me is Mississippi stud. if you have knowledge of one of the 3 dealt cards from a sloppy dealer. Were talking 50-100+% edge depending on the card lol only have found one dealer that was giving away cards but his ass got pulled so fucking quick lol only got like 20 hands in. U can also play that game with a 1.5% edge by having a full table and colluding hands with your other players if they allow u to hold the cards in ur hand along with a specific strategy table for full table with known cards. Theres other games that can give an edge but most games are unbeatable or can only net u breakeven after comps. Dont fall into the trap that is table games or even worse become a slot zombie if u like stats pick a game and learn up on it and u can make some cash and maybe have some fun in the process so long as variance agrees and u stick to it.
Harringtons series on tournament poker is a classic but this is my fav book for just conceptual shit. Its for limit holdem but its improved every part of my game be it mtt limit or nl and even if your a NL player youll learn alot about core concepts. Alot of books are outdated so be careful in oicking them up but watching pros on streams and poker videos online is a great way to improve ur game aswell
Yep, this is the redpill on casinos, all the games are rigged in the odds of the house, except poker, the game they make the least off of, table games are shit lol, watching people play them is hilarious. I've colluded on poker, its decent if you're subtle you can rake a table nicely. The book in pic took my game to next level. The man of moderation is a friend of god is what Aristotle said.
Everybody has a vice. Some aren't as bad as others, but just make sure it dosen't destroy you. I like to drink and smoke.l, yet I can't wrap my head around gambling.
Brandon Taylor
ACR. Garbage site though, insane suck outs and coolers that shouldn't be happening. I'd kill to have hockey sticks right now even though they're not that good, but damn am I card dead right now.
Christian Baker
I never understood why moot never made a gambling board, damn it.
Xavier Phillips
Acr is my fav site that isnt us based. Suckouts happen m9 variance can be brutal just gotta let it roll off ya my buddy who coached me told me first before anything dont tilt keep it cool as long as your getting it in good and playing correct you have nothing to be mad about and u should be happy even if ur losing now youll be a long term winrar
Jaxon Russell
I know, kek, it's like gospel, come on. On global and ignition/bovada it's not this bad. But ACR has the freerolls, so at least I'm not losing anything, only building my bankroll.

Gambling against other people is fucking weird. Against the house in a casino or race track a little less so. People used to gamble against the same people on a consistent basis, you would end up knowing that you're taking some man's kid's dinner at the poker table, if not even steeper wagers. It's almost some kind of pseudo relationship where your resources are mixing with another man's, fucking weird, even weirder gambling with friends.
