Poker aint for me bye

TheHome · #1 05-13-2006, 08:53 AM

Last month I lost $130k playing limit holdem, bad run and bad tilt combined.
The same stuff continued this month, I had couple good days were I made 20-30k back. However I have been tilting like mad man yesterday and and today resulting total loss of $65000.

Because of that I have cashed out the remaining funds and asked to be banned from the sites, aswell I have unistalled all the poker related softwares.

Thanks for those who helped me with my game over last couple years, it was fun and at least a bit profitable ride. But overall poker has [censored] me up too badly to play anymore.

Bye

I hope this doesn't happen to me.

It's unlikely. I'm just personally too addicted to gambling to play anymore, like in last 1½ years there aint a day when I wouldn't have done something related to poker. Either reading or playing. And there is maybe less then 10 days in last 2 years that I wouldn't have played poker.
I'm sure first week without poker will be helluva hard.. but hopefully it gets easier after that.

One and a half years of constantly playing/reading?
Shouldn't you be really really good?

Even with the risk of that being somehow sarcastic I answer.
Srategy wise I'm good at least in fixed limit holdem and pot limit omaha, both of which I'm able to play on the highest level in good days.

But I have absolutely no other skills poker player needs: Discipline, tilt controll etc.. I'm too emotionall.

Fyi I'm going to army in less then 2 months [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and will spend there at least 6months.

Cool, I am thinking about joining the army as I don't want a regular 9-5 job when I am older and poker isn't really asure bet for me.
