Normally, I'm pretty sympathetic, but can't seem to muster any for someone willfully careening to yet another crash and burn.

Do feel bad for any unsuspecting person (friend or family member) who loans him money, unaware of what it is really going to be used for. Not a real good chance of getting their money back.

HIV,

I wish you all the best. Take some time off. I would also suggest going to Gambler's Anonymous. Your story reeks of compulsive gambling. Had you won at 200/400, you were destined for 500/1000. Bad luck would have eventually tapped you out because no one can run that well for that long.

I know all to well what it is like to go on benders. I've shot it up on Baccarat tables in the past for insanely large sums of cash. And when it's all gone, you are left with a sinking depressing feeling....

Now what I do with my winnings: I get rid of it. I prepay bills. I create a comfortable buffer around me. And I would advise this to anyone who has is prone to tilting. Get rid of your winnings. Protect yourself. In your case, you could have prepaid your college tuition for your entire degree. Then had you lost, you would still have been ahead ....

But remember, it really isn't the end of the world.

As one poster said, poker is just a grain of sand on life's rich beach.

Take Care,

Canada_Dry
