Some skins have their own tables not shared with the entire network. Or maybe they're Euro/GBP tables and your skin doesn't support them yet or something.

Thats 16 tableing 6 max as well which is why i can get so many hands in

I have about ermm nothing of that left, gambled, spent, bought, wasted all that in the first 2 weeks of October

I cant believe it, I do it all the time!!!

So gutted so now I have to re focus my thoughts and get new motivation to try and repeat this again

Blackjack is the absolute devil

I want to move up to 5/10, i know id have to change my game but people say some 2/4 regs arent good enough to beat 5/10 but its so short sighted, adapting is so important in this game, good regs would just adapt to the different games.

ughh i thought i was past all this

sorry for a self indulgent goat post

That's some sick nanonoko-calibre grinding. If you genuinely can't control yourself and it's not just a cry for attention or something, I'd consider counselling. Pretty stupid to be yet another winning player who destroys himself through non-poker leaks.

I don't really get blackjack or other -EV gambling degeneracy. I guess I just don't have the gambling instinct. It doesn't seem very fun to me. I used to play BJ a bit back before I played poker, but with poker I get enough gambling day to day, the last thing I want to do is do more.

guillaumezur · 10-20-2009, 10:28 AM

you can easily block yourself from blackjack on many skins ( i have done that for my self months ago)

ShipItHertoDub · 10-20-2009, 11:11 AM

A gambler will never feel poker will satisfy his urge to gamble...even more so if poker is ur job...

Im sure Goat will chop the blackjack on the head soon...on the positive thats one hell of a grind graph...

My sickness is some days I go on massive mug punting sessions on horseracing...

THEGOATIAN · 10-20-2009, 11:18 AM

I knocked it on the head for a long while, i thinks its just when i stop playing poker for a bit, take a break and start getting into blackjack, once your down your just chasing losses.

Im doing as much as i can now to stop, im banned from a few sites for blackjack but youll always find somewhre if you need too

It is attention seeking obviously, but i cant control myself so its both lol

I dont see how could i go counselling, as if theyd understand that i basically gamlbed for a living playing poker, but i want to stop gambling! Theyd never ever get it i dont think

Just gotta deal with it myself, im sure its easily avoidable

If you don't feel you're like you're gambling when grinding (I know I don't, not even remotely), maybe councling/GA or whatever is still a good option, and just don't mention the poker for your own convenience. Unless you start playing nosebleed HU after a good month or something atleast. Or mention poker anyway but if it turns into a mess just stop with the whole thing. It can't do bad anyway, right?

Fletcher19 · 10-20-2009, 02:04 PM

anyone got the new FIFA/PES yet? I'll have to get my ps3 back from my mate to crush you donks over the interwebs if they're any good.

PNE PNE PNE!
