Re: Beat: Parent set me up with therapist about me playing poker
[ QUOTE ]
I guess I'll go into a little more detail. I've just started about 2 months ago and haven't played that much. So far I've won $200 from micros (started from NL2) for about 1 hour a day. I only 2-table and I pay a lot of attention to the tables and post hands in uNL, and basically trying to learn whatever I can get my hands on.
Have no clue whether therapist knows about poker.

"son, no one knows whether they're a winner in poker after two months of playing. you haven't even had your first monkey tilt session or moved up from $10NL to $10-20NL to recoup losses."
srsly. two months?
i dare you to tell your therapist the truth:
most poker players are losers and any form of gambling is a very dangerous preoccupation for 90+% of the population.
maybe from there you can develop a healthy discussion that will help you learn to avoid some pitfalls and have a voice of reason in your head reminding you of what normal people do with their time and money, so as to create some moderation in your life, which, many poker players lack.
