Re: Massive self destructive tendencies. Need advice
dude i dont have much advice but i just wanted to say i totally understand how you feel about all the yelling and destroying. not that i destroy things but whenever i played online, i did do a lot of yelling when some crazy bad beats occurred. thing is, for people like you and me, i dont think online poker is the answer. there is so much going on in online poker that those bad beats and bad streaks are inevitable. i suggest you stick to live poker. i banned myself from online poker because of all those emotions i felt sitting behind a computer. in a live game, i never show that i'm upset because that's not the kind of person i am in real person. but when you're alone behind a computer, you let yourself loose because you can and no one will see it. so my advice to you, try playing live because i feel your pain and the online bad beats will keep happening. plus there are less bad beats in a live game i think. not many fish to the river if you make the right plays. trust me. they all have this sense of pride not to be considered a fish but behind a computer no one really cares.

because that's not the kind of person i am [/ QUOTE ] Me neither, and since I've started playing real money I've thrown things several times. People I know would be SHOCKED. I'm kind of the quiet type. I haven't destroyed anything though. I can't afford to be tearing up my stuff. OP I empathize. |

Re: Massive self destructive tendencies. Need advice
I think the advice to start some kind of exercise routine or get a punching bag is solid. I used to have major anger problems when I was a teenager, punching holes in walls, breaking things, etc. I started doing Tae Kwon Do and it really helped me relieve the tension and learn self control.

Re: Massive self destructive tendencies. Need advice
Standard, one time I accidently stabbed my cat 48 times when some donk hit a 16 outer on me with two cards to come. If you've never completely obliterated your house playing internet poker you're probably a sociopath and should see a psychologist, NOT ME BITCH, im how you should be.

Re: Massive self destructive tendencies. Need advice
Greek,
You're obviously struggling with many things in life. This is a very bad time for you to play poker. You should seek professional help, maybe get on some sort of medication and start dealing with all your problems. Sort it out before even thinking playing poker semi-seriously, concentrating on poker right now is probably very bad for your mental health. If you feel like you really have to play and/or want to hone your skills, drop down several levels so you're 110% in your comfort zone, and read books & study your play a lot to keep yourself occupied. Conclusion: poker = bad |
