I do not tilt, I am just annoyed and worried. But sincerily I play very ok, or at least to the best of my ability. I know waht you mean about people losing much more money but I am losing my bankroll and even if it's smallish compared with other people's...it's all i got, you know?

pokerstars is rigged... ask anyone

1. Clean your room
2. Take a shower jesus christ
3. Take a break for a week

wake the **** up

If they are playing like complete button-clickers then assign them complete button-clicker ranges and shove hands that are profitable vs those ranges..

quit poker get a job be happy =)

What Eskimo said. Poker is trying to tell you something. Do you realize what a life-fail your OP looks like?

Dirty living space. Dirty body. Pressure packed life. Depressed about a stupid online card game. Most girls would run a mile before dating you. Get a job. Get a proper life. Poker isn't all that dude

heres a post to which you can relate to

also to other people itt, trolling op wont help at all.. what if this person actually decided to turn his dark thoughts into action?

heres my advice to you, forget the run bad and work on your game. you play low stakes and anyone who is willing to put effort into getting better should be able to crush these stakes. also maybe try something else like cash game, sngs are high variance

You need to just shut her down for a little while. The first 2 days will be really hard--you'll just be thinking "I gotta get it back, I gotta get in some hours," but just ****ing don't. Book a vacation, spend Christmas somewhere else without a computer.

It seems drastic, maybe, but ****, you're saying your whole life is over, so what's it matter if you're not home for Christmas?

Shower. Clean up. Produce something (cook some real good meals, build a nightstand). Just add some ****ing non-poker value to your life.

A vaca always helps.

that gif needs more love...

Thanks for the advice, which i am going to follow.

Had a shower, feeling better, still running like crap

I am not going to put any dark thoughts into action, i do realize we're talking about an online game..also a way to make a living.

What jobs do you guys recommend that poker skills translate well into?

First and foremost; I am a total newb to the world of Poker, so my words may or may not hold much value to you. That being said...

There's this cat named Jason Somerville (Jcarver), a fairly renowned US Poker player out of Vegas who I'm sure you're probably familiar with. He said "Poker players are typically smart enough to do other things [besides playing Poker]."

If you look at a lot of the successful greats, a majority of them either came from higher educational backgrounds, or have roots in successful business or athletic ventures. Poker players by nature are very analytic, highly competitive and typically very intelligent. Given that, I'm sure that if you choose to start doing something else with your life, you'll undoubtedly be successful at it.

Who the **** showers in the middle of a downswing?

Don't even wash your hands until even.

+1 to this OP. You have to prioritise the things that matter. If losing at poker makes you not wash properly, not eat properly, stresses you out, that is going to put people off wanting to be around you and form friendships/relationships with you. Do you really want that? If losing at a card game affects you this badly, it's time to quit and find something else in life.

lol @ asking for job recommendations

you know that for most jobs you need some diplomas and know how to... do stuff...

i guess you could look for work in some casino :P

First things first.

take a shower.

Baby steps people.

Meh. While I generally agree with you...I find that what you learn in college doesn't apply that much in real life.

As said, I do have a diploma in economy with a minor in programming.

And being intelligent and willing to learn and do stuff can be a good asset too. I am not saying I want a million dollar sign up bonus, just ideas from people who work/and play poker and they feel that the poker training helped.

I feel that people get the impression that I am a fish or smth, but I don't think I am, I know what I'm doing, I just can't win a hand. But of course, that's what fish always say, so

UPDATE: I did shower, got out during weekend, had fun with friends, bought some presents, getting ready for christmas.

Maybe your ROI is 0.01% and you're just slowly getting there. Didn't you know that slow and steady wins? Surely, but slowly.

haha. I loled hard )

great one.

I noticed you still havent cleaned your apartment.....

You play 3.5/7s for a living? Seriously dude, what a waste of time. Its basically impossible to have a win rate in those to have a worthwhile lifestyle (without grinding your brain to the point where you do it some serious damage) You're wasting your life. Get a job. They're a f n breeze compared to trying to be a low stakes pro. You might even meet some fun people or even get a gf

Or...just stay wallowing indoors your ****ty filthy apartment stressing about your downswing and forgetting to shower while life passes you by. Up to you

Well, I live in romania where 400e is the average paycheck so 7s are actually a good way to make money..is obviously nothing compared to your NZ lifestyle thogh.

HEY! Crazy idea, i'm moving to NZ! how's the job market around there? Can a romanian guy integrate? How are the chicks?! - i know you think i'm trolling but actually this is a dream of mine for some time now.

2014 goal: make a doable plan to live in NZ by the time you are 30!!!


also an update for the last 4 days when I only played a bit [ 140 tourneys ]. Running like I do i'm not even + on EV but still.




Hope you fellas have a nice Christmas!!

sympathetic to your situation. Lots of good advice ITT, and some funny **** as well.

If you haven't already, start exercising on any kind of schedule. You'd be surprised how a little sweat followed by a hot shower can clear your head, especially if it's two or three times a week.

good luck man, I'm feeling your pain.

Theres loads of jobs if you want to work. NZ girls aren't the best or very friendly, but Auckland has 20% azn population so no problem gl

going to gym 3 times per week.

boxing 2 times per week.

GREAT indeed!

Cool, I'll look how I can get my visa then in one-two years max

Thanks.

Fair point on you coming from a different economic situation than mine too. Im only tryingt o help. 2-3 years ago i was trying to make it as an unbacked $20 abi 50% ROI MTT grinder when it finally dawned on me what i was trying to achieve was impossible int he current online market

I feared getting a job but its turned out sweet, what 10c Warrior said is all bs, despite a 5 year resume gap i got a job and quickly discovered 90% of my colleagues are think as planks and by applying simple concepts like analyzing data and reverse perception i rose the ranks quickly. Now life is sweet im surrounded by hot young things that answer to me. My job is easy and the best thingg is .....i really REALLY look forward to playing poker again!!! ( i picked off one of those hot young things who is now my gf and she hardly lets me play, but w/e) :P

Life after poker, first 2-3 as a pro were sweet but i rue the 18 months after that it took me to come to my senses, dont waste your life on this game. Its a twap
