so why dont you learn discipline [/ QUOTE ] how would you say a person can "learn" discipline? Because it's something I've never been able to do. A person can learn to practice discipline I think, but either you are a disciplined person or you're not, and I think it's mostly a personality trait.

Re: luckyjimm busto?
if you spent half the time you put in on 2p2 making stupid threads and/or railing high stakes games, and read some books/threads about actual poker, you might have money.
-30k is insane to me, like at some point do you say "why am i flushing my money away?" How negative does your roi have to be before you realize you are doing something wrong?

[/ QUOTE ] I've read the PLO High books you could care to mention, talked over hands with more experienced players, read the forums, etc. But a sound understanding of strategy, odds etc can't make up for lack of discipline, bankroll management and tilt/spew control - these are what make me a loser. Of course I prefer to win than to lose. But I never had much idea what to do with the money I won except use it to play more poker, which perhaps ensured it was inevitable I'd hand it back. I really don't know how much I lost... I worked out from August to December last year I was actually a winning player, having looked at details of all my deposits and withdrawals. But this year I would lose about $300-$400 a week, every week. Yes, it sucks, and yes, you get bored of it - but not for a very long time. You see, most every time I'd put in $400, I'd get up to $800 or $1200 before I lost it all. And each time I'd tell myself I'd quit ahead for once....
