I got my loan on prosper.
Crazy rate 30% but it's ok if I pay it off before 60 months


Look I don't care if you think I'm trolling or not. I know I sounds like a degenerate idiot but honestly maybe there is some validation to what I'm saying.
Also I'm not really playing for the money this time but more so to try and control my impulses which are completely random and unexplainable.


Anybody wishing me luck ty today will be my first day and I'm going to so it right!!

OP do you think there's a chance that you had a manic episode last time you played poker?

Banks would never approve this. Can't see family/friends being this naive with an 8 year track record. More nefarious loan methods aren't run by stupid people and they don't want to break legs, they want to make money...

why not just work at mcdonalds if you are going to shoot for 5 dollars an hour? the stress that comes with it is simply not worth it in my opinion, especially given your mental struggles.

Post hands here, mb try forming a skype group to improve.

As it is you are under-rolled for an over-raked game that even a poker wizard has a decent chance of going broke.

Poker is about making the right decisions, including this one.

OP, do you realize that poker may be adding more fuel to the fire when it comes to your mental issues?

Playing a volatile game for a living is a sure way to trigger and exasperate your mental issues.

Do yourself a favour, start exercising regularly, get a 9-5, live a content life. You do not need the silly stress of poker to earn what you would at an entry level job.

At first I didn't think this was a troll.
Then he started to talk about aliens...
Then he could read souls....
Then he got endless amounts of loans, I wonder what his living situation is.
Then he has his crazy 2/5 impulses.
If you are stupid enough to to think this isn't a troll one way or another god help you, if this really isn't a troll and everything is true god help us all.

It is obvious you have some mental disorders from what you saying (as you've stated), however it is possible to become a winning player. Someone previously stated you should deposit $100 online, buy HM2 and grind from $0.01/0.02. Join a skype group, buy a subscription to deuces cracked, and I can give you some great skype groups for 2NL-25NL players that helped me a lot when I was playing those stakes.

As far as the "soul reading" and all that stuff, it is not real man. I don't really understand the point of trolling here so I am going to believe you. Seriously man, try to get some grip on things and seek professional help, I know people with mental disorders and it is a scary thing to see someone go through it. Hope everything does work out for you. Good luck.

Check into a clinic for a psych eval? No doubt they'll commit you and you'll be good to go.

I'd say seeking help for your mental illness is a good place to start. It sucks, but you may actually feel better on correct medication. I know you don't think you need it, but you probably do. I'm not a mental health professional but you should see one.

Also you need to acknowledge there is no easy quick get rich fix or everyone would be doing it. Stop being lazy. You are not special. Neither am I. You're going to need to work for success. Yes, poker is beatable but you are not a winning player, you clearly have tilt and mental game issues as well as a lack of understanding of fundamentals. This will not change unless you take tangible steps to fix it.

Also you need to study the game of poker before even considering playing poker again. If you're serious about it PM me and i'll send you some PDFs of good poker books and recommend some training videos

Or, you're a troll, which is probably more likely, but i've given you answers as if you're not anyway.

You may need to call gamblers anonymous if in fact you are being serious and not just trolling.

Edit: I also had a relative of mine who was a problem gambler and she feels she has done the right thing in enrolling and it has helped her a lot. She is still currently in the self exclusion list and barred from playing in any of the casinos within her jurisdiction. She still plays poker as a hobby but only home games and play money sites.

that can't be good for her long-term. i'm guessing GA wouldn't approve of either home games or play money ... it's still 'gambling' and still puts her in danger of losing control.
