I hope you you don't drive a car, drink alcohol, smoke, use a gun, etc

because those things are worse than gambling. They take your money AND kill you.

Dude, Mr. OP-man, you have to realize that you're posting this in the wrong place.

All of the people who are attacking you on this thread are actually being defensive. You've scared them a little bit.

Maybe they're gambling addicts. Or maybe people in their lives THINK they are doing (or are capable of doing, or inevitably will do) what you did, and judging them negatively for it. Their anger and rudeness is simply an expression of their their own insecurities and fears (both social and monetary), and you shouldn't take them personally.

Anyway, if I were you I would just copy and paste your OP into a new thread at: http://www.psychforums.com/viewforum.php?f=204

Good luck!

p.s. I was joking in my previous post. More gambling is not going to be a solution for you. Good luck.

So you must know my ex-wife too.

Well I didnt do it guys, I almost took a cash advance out today but took microbobs advice and didnt do it. Thanks Bob. I did however get $300 in the mail today (and yesterday) from my family for my 22nd birthday (today) and I pissed it all off on 200NL. I went all in preflop with KK (I was the button) and this jackass had JJ. Of course the Jackass got his set on the turn, all my money went down the drain (in his stack lol). O well, thats poker! At least I did not take out the 3K on my credit cards, thanks to Bob! Anyway, gotta run but I will be back soon. Later

Arrrgh. Glad you PARTLY listened to the advice.
But putting the $300 straight on the tables was not such a hot idea.

Am I getting levelled by this troll here?
C'mon dude. You really want to blow every single penny you make on gambling?

I know I answered the OP seriously earlier in the post, but ya - it's just about time for Captain Obvious to make an appearance.

Sort of. He's definitely a troll, but he's not clever enough to be "leveling" you.

I mean, look at his response to the latest FTP scammer thread (someone already linked it in this thread).

Yep, online poker made you take credits and lose them playing 15 limits higher than you should.
Bad online poker!!!

You also told us, that a lot of money was lost playing blackjack, not poker.
If it wouldn't be blackjack, it would be some lottery tickets, or horse racing or whatever the hell people like you blow their money on.

Online poker had nothing to do with your demise...
