And Wow poker being your first priority. Gr8 man. For me although I love playing poker, I think it's always more +ev by just chillin with friends or playing some games. Always takes the load off if u r having a bad time in poker. Which the OP should do too. Just chill with friends or go out for some movie or drinks.

you cant control what happens beyond the actions of check bet or raise, and everything else is predetermined by the random shuffle. i cant handle this anymore.

This statement shows that u r not some fish who is blaming the card room for the -ve variance. You can actually do great with this mentality if u come back after taking a break. Always try to do the best u can and then I'm sure the results will follow within a month if not days.'Ilovemagic' if u play tournaments or sng's and know that u r on tilt, it's wise to play the remaining registered ones and wait them to finish and then shut down ur pc for good and come next day and play ur A-game. Don't register for anything else to win back ur winnings. It'll simply make it worse.Atleast that's what I do to minimize my losses. And for cash games it's just much more easier---> no need to wait for anything=just shutdown button it lol. GL.

you know what your talking about AND speaking my LAGuage. Totally wish u lived in charlottetown so we could hang !! but anyways I totally agree with you on that statement. I need to stop worrying about playing poker and start doing other things. It is totally +EV tht way. I also need to stop forcing in games and hands when I should be doing something else.

On the statement of me NOT being a fish:

You are right, I have a very good theoretical knowledge of the game and will EVENTUALLY make money on this game if I can become a complete poker player. Right now I consider myself a TAGish type, not a fish when on my A game. But when I am on my B game I am ruthless, careless, and overall INSANE, definately considered a steamer by the more aware players @ the table im sure.

So right now I would say I'm not where I want to be with the mental part of the game, never have been save but a few brief moments of self control in certain situations. But I definately need a conservative bankroll plan moving forward to combat my mental weakness, and start going to "school" to improve this type of behavior..which im sure will help me in my life overall as well so i wont be disapointed or feel like its been a waste of time if i end up not likeing poker..

But this is how I am..I love poker , everything about it, and I need to hone this passion rather then spew it away like a lot of other opportunities in my life, hockey being one of them.

Sounds to me like you're getting back on track. ♠_cool:

Best regards,

IM DONE WITH POKER...DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS BESIDES POKER THAT I COULD DO FOR FUN???????????????????????

please do not suggest games like poker when i ask for fucking shit besides poker.....

THANKS.

if you wonder why i cant think for myself,, its becaause i can..but am wondering what other people do for fun thats not competitive and not stressful AND NOT BOOOOORING.

Are you athletic? If not darts, pool, snooker, golf. If so football, rugby, cricket. Have fun.

read my earlier post, and do the advise I told you about. If you dont feel like playing poker you wont do good at it. At least you could play games when you don't want to play poker to keep you busy.

wtf is a burg? if its some type of hard drug , you should probably stick to wasting ur time on poker...

but just know its a losing style of bankroll management lol, you sound like me on tilt.

@eshuolda "Are you athletic? If not darts, pool, snooker, golf. If so football, rugby, cricket.

didnt you read the last bit of posts where i said i un-quit poker, and the universe is now at peace?

I'm pretty sure tilt is not your problem.
Why not take a 15 minute break from writing stuff in a forum and go read about long and short term effects of smoking pot.
Hopefully the permanent long-term damage to your brain isn't too extensive.
Either give up drugs or give up poker.
The two dont mix and never will.

You said earlier that you lost all your money in a day and that was $70 - if you're playing for that kind of BR and things aren't improving for you then something's fucked. I have this problem of defining my play too; without serious study of hand histories by others or maybe coaching, how do we now if we're not just a little fishy? Or not making improvements in our game? My current downswing has certainly taken the want to play out of me (haven't been online for about 5 days now) and in the format I like to play variance is high.
Suck outs are coming thick a fast but you don't need to be a genius to know you played ok when raising from cutoff with AK and some donk SB with more chips than you shoves the mighty A5. AK is bound to lose there. What do I learn about how to play poker when this situation is a constant? Folding the best hand is a good play? When the deck starts to act right, I will be a winner in the long run? Doesn't help my roll now and it certainly sucks the fun out of the game.
CG seems to be the way to go so I will try that. Mastering tilt should come first so I will read Jared's book...maybe you should too. I'm not going to play again until I've done that. TBH I don't really want to either. It's not that I don't love poker anymore cos I still dig watching and talking about it - I guess I see playing as a waste of money right now. I love SnG but they don't love me right now so I figure that I'll try to build my BR back up playing CGs.
You said that your poker playing is hurting your family cos you get so emotional and you're playing it 8 hrs a day. IMO, if you do something for that amount of time then it's more than a hobby. And if you feel it hurts your family maybe that's all the reason you need to quit. I like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it's competitive and may have a calming influence on you. XBOX is a lot of fun too :).

what is a burg, lol?, a burglary lmao

Whenever I get 'annoyed' with poker, I go downstairs load up fifa and smash people 11-0 on ultimate team and get my confidence back up. I then either continue to play fifa until eventually i get beat usually by some flukey pace abuser or just go play poker after i win. Either way I find the break plus regaining a winning mentality brings me back up to my A game.

Just try and find something else which gives you a sense of satisfaction which you can do for a few minutes at the least. Something which has very little pressure and very little risk. Doesnt even need to be competitive, if youre creative you can try something like that.

More like 90% + of players

hey everyone, happy saturday!

Thanks for the comments, please keep them coming. I'm learning a lot about poker, and about life in this thread, its pretty cool. I definately cut poker out a bit in the last few days. I made a deposit a few days ago , lost 40 cents, and got off the computer cuz i had to go to bed. Nothing special to write home about. I am trying to build a life with poker included in it, not build a life around poker. This seems to be helping me in the fact I dont think about poker 24/7 anymore. My family seems to be liking this side of me a bit more I'm getting back to why I started playing poker in the first place..cuz it's something to do when u have free time. Which for me right now is far and few between.

As for Mr. Doctor talking about effects of weed on my brain, i have this to sayy to you :

Fuck off.

All I heard was Mario Galaxy - Sir, whoever you may be, you have my respect.

P.S. I wonder what it would be like to get a constant part of 4 in diablo III, all of whom are good poker players. Real money auction house FTW?
