Mad, the cure is a simple one.

1. Buy E-Flite Blade CP Pro (Make sure you get PRO and don't let the sales people talk you out of it even if you have no experience)
2. Get additional AC adapter, 3 extra batteries, and a couple of spare blades
2. Google RADD training
3. Finish RADD training
4. Perform 3D manuevers
6. Know that you're are the man!

Then play poker cuando te sale de lo cojones!!

I'm pretty sure OP here is already currently enrolled in a top university in the country, so he should be decently busy. Chris, take some time to focus on your studies. If you have that much free time, start taking 5 classes or get involved in more clubs. Maybe take some time over winter break to figure out why poker is unfulfilling to you. Over time, despite the fact that I don't make anywhere near as much as you nor am I as good as you, I've also found poker to be less intellectually stimulating and realized I was playing solely for the money. Since then, I started playing a lot less. Try to find a new intellectual pursuit, perhaps investing, where you can apply similar competitive skills and analysis to make money.

smarty he needs fulfillment as a human being not more money or a competitive challenge.

to OP:

go volunteer with your spare time or do research about interesting topics to grow as a person you fing degenerate. also stop being a dick to sincere individuals who are just trying to remind you HOW LUCKY YOU ARE.

that is all.

MAdgenius, why not move up if you feel the game is beatable? Get some more challenges; play against phil ivey or mike on FTP. Become the next ABA?

Think some things over of why you are playing poker. Is it for money or for excitement? Then stick with it.

Go get a real job for a week or two and see how you feel.

Interesting post Genius - couple suggestions. Try donating your time and money to a charitable organization or cause you are passionate about; this would also probably prevent you from doing things like pushing pf at nl200 games (as you'd realize what 7k could do for a poor family who can't afford to buy Christmas presents for their children). Volunteer at a hospital, read books to the elderly, etc. I know there are a bunch of poker players who coach for very reasonable rates not for the money necessarily, but because they genuinely enjoy helping others to learn a game they have achieved success at. Whatever you decide to do, focus on building positive relationships as online poker can make you feel isolated.

On a more poker-related topic, learn a different game. Play PLO or Stud or something else. Take on a protege a la Green Plastic. Take a break for a few weeks like lolo.

Best of luck man. Hope the post was helpful.

This is no big deal. It's standard and part of human nature to have the urge to do it sometimes. It's like people who play slot machines when they know they are going to lose: it's for entertainment. It actually seems less bad to me than that, in fact, since you at least made some people temporarily happy (or at least made their life a little more exciting) at the 1/2 table. I wonder what the guy who objects to it would say to the thousands of people playing high stakes casino games.

Your life obviously sucks, though. Most likely you are filling your spare time playing poker when you should be developing other interests. If poker wasn't there, you'd be forced to. So, I agree you should quit poker for awhile. I'm sure you have more money than you need right now.
