I suck at poker

I just lost $40 on my first legit poker game. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but I'm poor as shit at the moment cause I just spent all my money on ski gear.
Anyone wanna share their worst gambling losses to possibly make me feel a bit better?

First time I ever played poker I won 400 (Just over 100) pesos at a hostel in bariloche from some aussies and another american. After that first time it's all gone down hill.

Duke game last night. That cocksucker fumbling when they were about to kick a FG with under a minute and win and the INT TD afterwards meant I lost 760 instead of winning 2300 between my spread bet, moneyline bet, and a parlay it fucked up. 3k swing. Cunts.

Missouri tonight was annoying too I had 2nd half +2.5 and they lost by 3 after being up 9 with 4 minutes left and not getting that flagrant foul call. But I only had 100 bucks on that shit.

A couple of my friends have come out 1000+ in a night so its definitely doable. Its all about the blackjack. I only play poker with the boys.

This. you cant play needing to win money or scared to lose money. Unless its a tournament, or a high limit / no limit cash game, or youre just on fire, playing really conservatively seems to be the way to go - it has led to some really big nights for me

Well one night I thought it was smart to put $50 on black while playing roulette, it ending up hitting red. I have yet to see that $50 again.
