BBV CONFESSION

[Fabian]

You're not cut out for poker. I'm sorry to say that, but it's true. If you add up your 50 databases you probably have a decent number of hands. What's your BB/100 during this sample? Probably takes 10 minutes to figure out, but well worth doing because you need to face reality here. Either you need to learn some humility and start working for your poker success, or you should be quitting right now and get one of those $8/h jobs, for two reasons. One, it pays much better than $0/h, which will be your poker expectation (actually negative but let's ignore that), and two, a regular paying job won't destroy your life and soul like becoming a degenerate gambler with no prospects and no money will.

lol @ ping pong being the first sport you list

[shaundeeb]

you're still a douche this post doesn't change things.

And yes I am a bigger one but I also have a bigger BR which should be proportional.

Haha touche deeb......and yeah I like ping pong, so sue me! Apefish-- your friend sounds just like me..and I admit I still have tons to learn in terms of the actual concepts behind the game-- but I have enough knowledge of the game to be a very successfull player if I could just figure out the psychological aspect of the game.

It is by far the most difficult thing I have ever encountered in my life....forget the lsat, forget college and academics, forget figuring out women-- winning the war against the psychological aspect of poker is one of the most difficult things ive ever faced.

I think the biggest problem is, that you think you are way better than others: You're probably not!

I have never moved up in Limits because of Tilt, because I know these guys are better than I am.

YOur biggest problem is probably your arrogance, if you would approach the game in another way you could be successful...

im glad to announce Dschmeidreu is most likely getting staked this afternoon after we talked it through yesterday.

We will try and update progress on the stake so that BBV knows which is rly key for success imo. Busto date and prop bets of the kind welcome. gg me etc...

Stop playing right away, if you can't control tilt take up another hobby.

if i have any advice its try to play live more...the games are softer for one thing...and its alot harder to put your whole bankroll on the table...i basically was the exact same person you described yourself as...i realized online wasnt for me...i found some places that ran live games where i could make a living and its going well...this would be my advice to you

Bottom line is be honest with yourself and if you really truly believe you can beat the game, then beat it. Psychologically you have to be willing to play within your limits and get up when you start to get aggrivated. Otherwise, you are gonna continue to hate yourself for not succeeding due to not practicing some very simple strategy/management techniques. Its not that hard, get with the program, there is plenty to go around. You may not be cut out for this game also, 5yrs and no br is very unconvincing of the level of skill you claim.
