Don't worry about it too much man, something similar to this happened to me and i used it as a big wakeup call and got my life together. I was 21 years old with no job, 10K in debt, 2K in the bank and would play 1/2 buying in for $100 to pay rent and groceries, till one day there was no 1/2 game going.

For some reason I had my whole $2000 life roll in my wallet and decided to play a $100 hand of BJ, lost, played one for $200, got 5 5 against dealers 5, so had to double down and ended up losing. Then proceeded to lose 3 $500 spins in a row on roulette. Walked straight to the office and self-banned myself for a year. This was 3 days before having to pay rent, had to borrow $1000 from my brother and got a job, paid rent.

Now 18 months later I have a good job, went from 11K in debt to having 20K in the bank, and i can afford to degen away a few hundred bucks without worrying about it.

yeh this op.

You had one degen spew. Just pretend u lost ur 5k roll online to jungleman. **** happens and life goes on. Dont quit poker for life, and i dont think you need to attend lolgambling meetings. Dude come on you ****ed up with a huge degen spew, move on with your life and reevaluate things. Don't quit poker for life and just blame it on your gambling addiction. Take a long break from poker, cuz its not like you can play on the internetz. 5k will seem very small within a couple of years/ move on with your life and suck it up!

VARIANCE!


WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TOUCH GAMBLING.

But not happy enough...? Needed something more?

I think you, sir, subconsciously love to be at rock bottom. When ever you catch a break its never enough, you don't seem to feel any satisfaction or self worth via winning, but losing perhaps makes you feel alive for once?

You seem to play and enjoy poker when playing with everything on the line... This backs up my previous point about the money or the win meaning anything. Its the thrill of knowing your ****ed financially that makes you feel alive, and focused, and that its all on the line, right here right now.

What I suspect you are suffering sir, is depression. You need to be able to draw satisfaction and self confidence from things other than poker and winning or losing to have any chance of constantly being able to feel "alive" without making self destructive choices to remind yourself that you're still breathing.

Read the misery in the OP. Read his other thread. He needs to stop poker and gambling, period. Its been an endless spiral downwards.

This part is almost too good to be true.

There have been great poker players that turn out to be nothing more than lowly degen losers. If the pain and suffering of losing money when you gamble isn't enough for you to stay away from gambling for good (or keeping it totally reasonable) then you probably need to quit the pokerz, especially live poker because the two are too close.

Does you no good to grind out some wins, and then walk over to craps or roulette and donk it all away. In fact, you're worse off - emotionally, and fiscally in most cases.

Good for you though for attending GA. Sounds like you're on your way, but this probably means quitting ALL skill & gambling games perhaps for good, IMO

BTW, I think I shoulda told you to make some guaranteed investments earlier, when a bunch of other people told you to get therapy. I apologize for not doing that. I wish you the best, sir.
