exactly why i'm going to take limon's advice and get some kind of part time job that i enjoy, then play poker on the side and enjoy it again.

I get episodes like that as I'm sure many other people do. Times when you are playing despite the fact that you are an emotional wreck simply because you have to. To gain x more BB or to win one more tournament or to claw back and break even. Sometimes this means you don't care whether you win or lose because you've reached such a sense of apathetic despair. Other times you're so convinced that you're going to get sucked out on you wonder why you should bother making the play. Whether pushing with 77 really is -EV. And even if it is maybe it'll hold up this time and you can get away with it.

I prolly spend 8-10 hours a day on this site. Pretty sad when you think about it. When I go out partying all weekend, the first thing I do Sunday night when I get home is check 2+2 to see if I missed any good threads.

the crux of the question is are you addicted to success (on your own terms) or gambling. if youre addicted to success take away poker and youll probably turn to the stock market or bounty hunting if your addicted to gambling take away poker and youll be next to TJ yelling c'mon hard 8! (many more of you would find yourself next to tj than you think)

Re: Question
 

This needs a poll.

Re: Question
 

Please title your threads better. Thank you.

Re: Question
 

I can quit whenever I want...hello $3r!

Re: Question
 

Both FTW

Re: Question
 

FYI if you are in NVG reading a thread with a subject that's just Question, that means you are in a gossip forum on a gambling website reading EVERY thread and thus you are at least addicted to 2p2. Since being addicted to the website and not poker would be really sad, it has to be both.

Do you even know what it means to be addicted to something? Are you just trying to be an idiot?

Re: Question
 

How many people can go w/out work/money?

Re: Question
 

Im not addicted, and I still think its fun.
Maybe not the game itself but beating other people.
EVUL^^_^^

Re: Question
 

To put it kindly, this is not a good mindset to get into and if this is your profession you should find a new one. If it's not then you should play at my table ;-). If you're emotionally unstable then you don't "have to play" unless it's a tourney, but I don't play those and if I do I prepare myself mentally for the long haul.
