Nothing is ever going to get better, you'll just learn to deal with it.

And I'm pretty sure that the main reason that you are blowing up now when losing OP is because the money probably means something to you. You need to detach yourself from the fact that youre playing with money, its only chips that you are using to dominate an opponent and win. Its not money until you withdraw them from a pokersite.
I think its entirely possible to condition yourself into believing that by constantly thinking about that fact for a while when playing, after some time you should be back into the carefree zone where losing isnt the end of the world. Giving up poker is obviously a (easier) solution too.

because we all know that winning, in and of itself, is indicative of running well at all.

i could have enough money for a 100nl roll, but its not for me right now. i dont think any of you truly understand how violent i get when i play. i mean they made me go to the hospital once when i obliterated my room and everything in it. there are worse things ive done but im not going to share them.

my plan is to go back to selling sportscards online. i can generate a decent amount of money through that and i actually enjoy it. i genuinely think enjoyment must be derived from any financial project (of any sort) or else you will be frustrated with it. i do not find the slightest bit of enjoyment when i play poker. quite the opposite, in fact.

i own two other businesses, one that i am sure could be huge, but i would need several thousand that i could afford to spend on them. these are not "retail" like selling cards online pretty much is.

i took off the $700 i had left on ub (after blowing through a ton) and i get my computer back from repair tomorrow. i miss the $500 winning days, but its comforting to know that i wont ever have to endure the $500 losing days either. you feel on top of the world one day, and want to die the next. id rather be moderately happy everyday.

Serious post.

Dude you need a life coach. Atleast pick up the book called "The Secret". Your probably a solid poker player, but unless you can get your emotions under control you need to be in a 9-5 job or something else. your problem is not BR Management or Skill, your leak is in your HEAD. Control Tilt, control your emotions, seek emotional theropy (Not Joking or insulting) or coaching.

until you get your anger and all the contributing/underlying causes of your anger under control, you won't be happy. even if you are making $500/day. you'll just find some other vehicle/outlet for your anger.

you have to figure out how to let go of your anger. until you can figure out what it's going to take, you're stuck where you are.

What happens when you accidentally crease an expensive sports card? What happens when you buy one that is supposed to be in mint but isn't? You gonna break your laptop? Punch holes in doors? You need to get your emotional issues sorted out no matter what you decide to do. Take your roll from UB and get 7 sessions with a shrink, or a stoxpoker membership and watch Jared's videos, or a series of yoga classes. Anything to keep you from becoming a sad news story.

have been pretty good the past three days since i havent played. made a few sales, working all day talking to businesses. i will not get a job, fwiw. i always have outlets for money, they just dont provide as much income as poker once did. and none of those are my parents or anyone giving me money, i can earn it myself.
