Am I an angle-shooting douchebag?

$4600 fwiw

Wow. That's a lot. Why didn't you stop playing?

I stopped at 2.30am on Monday night when I'd got up to this amount, and went to sleep. But stupidly when I woke up at 7.30am I started playing again - the laptop is by my bed and was on standby, so it was too easy. I lost a $2000 pot straight away, won a $2000 pot minutes later but was still down about $500, and was in full-blown monkey tilt "I have to keep playing, I have to get it back!" mode. Worse, I was meant to be getting ready and leaving for work. If I'd at least accepted the tilt loss and gone to work I'd still have had $2600 or so in the account by 8.30am and I could have won it back that evening or at over time. I just was too caught up in the game, and should have forced myself away. Obviously I should have done so. Or, at least, I should have gone back down to $1/$2. I just had gambling fever. Madness.

hey, maybe this will make you feel better, you probably only have to go to work for like 5 more months before you make back what you lost playing pot limit omaha!

To make £2300 after tax I'd have to work 5 1/2 weeks

To make back the £25 I deposited I'd have to work 90 minutes

It's doable
