Pete, clearly you missed the point. It isn't about the tournament.

Have pete tell you about the time he quit poker for 6-12 months after a bad streak that wasn't really bad.

You say this as if it were just one time.

lol.

I guess you just quit and didn't write a long thread about it....that might be a gender difference.

Sorry for the issues in your personal life, Good Luck dealing with them.

And listen to what BDD says.

Also, when you come back, don't play tournaments way over your roll. I understand taking shots, but let's not get too frisky.

Just one comment: I think that you should never play poker again. I don't say this in a mean-spirited way, but rather am just being honest. You are pretty misguided in your statement that all poker players experience the same kind of polarized emotions as you do. Far from cry, I have accepted short-term variance to the point where I don't even blink an eye when I drop 10 BIs in a session, etc (my BIs are fairly large and I am fairly young, so think about this).. I just go and take a break, make a sandwich, have a few drinks, go out and have a good time with my friends... there is just so much more to life. If poker ever affected me beyond minimal aggravation at standard runs of bad cards, I would never play again - the stress is just not worth it IMO. You were playing at low enough levels where the money is just in no way enough to compensate ever feeling the sort of polarized emotions that you did... Just walk away from the game forever, and spend time with family and friends. Or thats my opinion, anyways.
