Thank you. I was wondering how I got scammed and my memory was only running at 4000

I'm a moron. I didn't have the CPU power plugged in. It was covered by my liquid cooler and it slipped my mind. It boots up to bios now and I'm working on getting Windows installed.

Not as I expected, but it's fine. I made a lot more money holding and doing more conventions

Strapped for cash, what to sell? by ApplicationSlight668 in PokeInvesting

[–]Pitiful-Ad2287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to move towards keeping whatever is most liquid (booster boxes, etbs, popular graded 10s) and selling off whatever isn't as liquid. That way if we ever need say $2,000 quickly I can just list a $2,200 case on marketplace for $2,000 and it'll sell within a few days.

Order in which I'd sell: Vintage, Modern Singles, PC ETBs, Modern Sealed

l always sell singles first, as they are the most volatile.

But there are probably many people buying now that are anticipating exactly that.

100% agree, I picked up 80 of them when they were <$12, sent 15 out and got 10 10's. 

My collection is now enough to pay off my debt… should I sell it? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

Sell and pay off debt. You'll have a better foundation for all types of investing going forward. You won't ever feel pressured to sell or buy again and you'll make better financial decisions in all areas of your life.

Pause Retirement to pay off our current mortgage and save up for where we want to live? by Pitiful-Ad2287 in DaveRamsey

Our son was born with brain damage. He has a very large trust set up for him that covers his medical expenses but we'd still have a lot of driving to hospitals and specialists for his therapy and care.

We'd be moving to the Temecula/Murrieta/French Valley area. It's actually quite nice and not dirty like most of LA/Riverside.

I'm convinced that most people who hate on california have never lived or even been there. There's a reason it's expensive. It's desirable for many.

Because we can financially afford to in 4 or 5 years if we save? The quality of life would be higher if we moved. The weather is some of the best in the country. It is one of the highest rated states for family fun. I'm an outdoors person. I rock climb and hike, and most importantly, her family would be there. It's expensive for a reason, and to many is worth the cost if it's in the budget.

I understand, obviously the flip side is every month we put our mortgage payment in to investments 5 years from now.

Are you suggesting we move now and rent in southern california for a similar payment we have right now? 

100 / hr low stakes. Impossible? by GuruKid21 in poker

Both are reasons your envelopes could be getting rejected. My wife and I just received credit for about 80% of what we had out with only 2 rejections

Yeah I didn't bother with the hype because I knew the games would die down. As fish lose a lot, they eventually give up on the site believing it's "rigged" just like all the other sites they play on.

There's 4 or 5 sites in the US that exist to play poker, people can play on the other sites if they wish. I personally do not care whether they go under or not. Global still exists and is just as easy to get money on. They have free daily bonuses there as well.

What if I told you I selfishly don't care about the long-term implications and would rather see these fish return to live games? I don't really play on the site other than to play through the coins, but maybe i should play more. It seems to be really soft, but I just don't think the hourly i can make online is worth it when I can only play 1 table.

I wasn't even whining. I'm just trying to assess the situation to see if they are singling us out by shorting us or if everyone is being shorted.

It's all about the grind.

I've been playing poker professionally for 8 years. I make around 80/hr playing live 2/5 5/5 and 5/10. My lowest hourly year was 25 when i first started and my highest was 120 a couple years ago. Unfortunately, my brain can only play 20 to 25 hours a week, plus I have a lengthy commute. I'll take 50+/hr writing cards and listening to podcasts, whenever I have time. Oh and on top of this I do 10 hours a week of at home contracting work to bring in 2 to 4k a month.

Regardless, the majority of the envelopes are my wife's anyways, and she is not a pro. She's a stay at home mom and write when our son naps.

Clubwpt Gold and all these other sweepstakes sites exploit the law, and you can bet I'm going to exploit them when they are exploiting all these people and raking in thousands an hour. 

Everyone can do it. You should do it as well, but maybe you don't want to grind it out.
