HIV made a good post imo.
anti tilt. I went on 5 day break this week. I never played more than 2 hrs in one day.I normally play 12 hrs a day, 6days/week, because I still LOVE it. Obviously I realize I will get burnt out eventually just from all the hours ... but I love playing As long as i have a banana in my back pocket.
not the case for my "banana break." Any bad beat and i went crazy. This has never happened to me while being full on fruit. I only care about decisions. also:smuggling bananas is easier than smuggling tshirts and shorts and underwear. I am arabic, so i get "randomly checked" at EVERYSINGLE airport i go to. I still bring herb(knock on wood).

lil surprised to read this. i thot u were one of the other guys.
The most interesting line is being excited about the game. When i am fruitless i simply hate playing poker. I mean, its got to be the last thing I want to do, besides get a real job. When i peel just one banana I become entranced by poker and want to do everything I can to get better. Its my motivator. I took this "banana break" and the first thing I did was go to the library, buy a book and read the entire 350 pages.
