Default Re: have you ever felt so depressed that you want to commit suicide?

Yeah, that 29 out of 30 winning sessions thing definitely sounds like you were chasing your losses a lot. I think you need to stay at lower stakes for a while, and while you're there, you should practice playing for a set time. Maybe for 2 or 3 weeks, decide exactly how long you're going to play and then quit at that time, regardless of where your stack's at.

Then, once you've got used to the idea that it's OK to quit when you're down, and quit several sessions when losing, you can loosen it up a little bit and start basing your decision about how long to play on how good the games are.

If you've got the skills to win 700K in a month, this downswing isn't a big deal. Just tell yourself that the money doesn't matter because you'll get it all back in the long run. As long as you keep yourself away from mega-monkey tilt and use decent BR management, you'll never want for money again.
