Hello ALL,
You are hear because you are on a search... searching to escape this INSANE game of poker..
We all know everyone goes BUST eventually, but i went BUST well before that.. I went bust much sooner than most... I went from a loose player to a player who ONLY plays the nuts(flop 2 pair, trips, str8, top card with picture kicker) -- Anything else i would fold. I tried it all.. Yeah maybe i had the easy to read face.. Oh who cares.. Truth is follow a poker player around and 90%of people u play lose most of the time... simple as that.. truth... Even the ones with good swings have more bad swings than good.. PROs get sponsors and play for a rake till they grind in the ground... There are the exceptions of PROS who have lost everything and travel around to LOOK FOR PEOPLE LIKE MOST OF US.. They only play certain people, but even then the ODDS are against u when you got 6-8seats filled..
Okay so why do we play?? This is a question that you must look into yourself.. I have met all types of players.. Old people, married people, single people. gay people. purple people.. Is it the RUSH? Does it feel good.. Amazing how u can lose a few hundred or few thousand, then REBUY and its like you got a second chance.. If thats how you feel when you REBUY well then YOU ARE LIKE ME - A ADDICT..
I been around a long time and played in casinos.. blew threw a few hundred bucks and it was never a big deal caue i never had the urge to chase.. But I never played poker till i was in my late 30s, then after the first year i was sick on poker.. I went through thousands of dollars.. Lost HUGE hands that should have one, but after hitting a BAD BEAT and loosing a HUGE POTS i think my stomach is sick enough to stop...
Today is my first day writing, but my 5 day of not hitting the tables.. i HAVENEVER done online poker and I DONT even want to try it! If CASINO POKER has just about ruined me what would ONLINE DO???
I know this... I drive by 2 casinos everyday when i goto work and its NEVER a problem NOT TO GO, the problem is as soon as I sit at that table.. When i commit to play its all over for me..
I TELL YOU I WILL NOT PLAY AGAIN, but 2 months from now or whenever POKER JUDGEMENT DAY comes and POKER is looking at me right in the face.. Whether it be myself trying to convince myself to play 50$ tournament or a 1000$ CASH GAME I must PUNCH IT RIGHT IN THE FACE and rip its face off in order to save myself.. Cause to many times i have i said.. I will spend 100$ AND WALK AWAY... 98% of the time 100 turns into 100s...
I will write weekly and just post my recovery.... Wish eveyone the best!
