I know without any doubt that casino cash games are no good for me , I have an addiction and cant stop till my momney is gone and the staeks are too high to begin with so my play isn't altered and its not good

You've touched on the whole problem with playing above your bankroll by suggesting that you should alter your game when the stakes are too high. If you can't play your A-game at higher stakes, then you are already on tilt and someone who is properly rolled will notice and take advantage of you. All but the most disciplined players have probably been there, both live and online.

You should tally up your losses and admit that you are not prepared to play at the current stakes. Focus your anger on being a good player, and having better bankroll management. I would drop down to online micros on Bovada, download hand histories, and take notes on your play. You probably have a lot of leaks that you weren't aware of.

if you got an addiction and you damage your health and your wallet, you would have to see a specialist to help you to control this addiction.

Gday.

Hope you can sort out everything in your head :)

I too had serious anger problem & took it out on the tables.

Long story short ... I have a rare physical problem which causes pain hence the anger. Well a lot changed after I found this out. I took time off work (and have been told since that I might not be able to do my job again). Sad really, cause Im a chef & I loved it.

Anyway ... Took the time off, which included no poker, just to get my head around what has to be done & how my future gunna be. That was over 2 years & now Im a better person for it.

So basically, Mind, Body, Soul all have to be in the right place, to be successful.

Im a lot betterr at my game now & have been improving since starting back up at the beginning of the year,
