Default Re: Blackjack kills me

If u r really good at poker as u say, then u got a lot to lose.
A talent in poker can get u a long way these days; it can even make u a millionaire.

It looks like u've got a serious gambling problem.
Stu Ungar 3 times world-champion, arguably the best player in the world, died a poor man, all alone in some hotel-room.
He gambled his poker winnings away, and he ruined his health with his drug habits.
To me he is the ultimate example of waist of talent.
He was a far better player then I'll ever be, yet I feel that my accomplishment of turning around my lifetime losing gambling addiction into a winning poker-addiction has gotten me further than his three world titles.

Ur problem won't go away by itself; with determination and very hard work, u might be able to overcome it.
Gambling addiction is just as dangerous as a hard-drug addiction, it can very easily ruin ur live completely.

In the nineteenth century, the Monte Carlo casino had a famous balcony looking over the back garden. There u could jump of and kill ur self when u had lost all ur money. It was frequently used.

Take away that gun against ur head and realize that u are at the very beginning of an gambling addiction that will destroy ur live.
If u don't act upon it , it will grow like a cancer inside u.
Contact Gamblers Anonymous, or family or friends, because u will need all the help u can get.

Take it from one who has been there, it won't go away by itself!
