I am making this tread so others out there can recognize there problems at the table and if they have a "gambling Problem" which i do.
One of the hardest lessons i have learned about playing Poker is having the strength to get up off that table and walk away. To sum it up to basically call it a day and go home and take a break. I have learned that chasing a loss can and more then likely will end up losing even more money. If you are a poker player who stays in a casino for more than 8 hours a day and ends up continuously gambling and even worst, rebuying then you probably have a problem. Remember poker is a game of patience. That means off the felt and on the felt. The casinos aren't going any where. There is always tomorrow or the next week. My biggest losing days come from either when i rebuy or when i find myself going on gambling binges. Playing poker for 20 hours straight or more.
Here is my description of a Poker Player.
Has a set time and date of when he plays.
Has a game plan and does not deviate ftom it
Does not play continuously for 20 hours or more
Never plays mentally or physically fatigued
My description of a degenerate gambler
Plays any limit any game
Will play until losing all of his money.
Goes back and forth to the atm
Can't leave the table even though his conscience knows it's the right thing to do.
Any way here are my stats on 3/6 limit and 2/4 limit. Only about 5 or 6 sessions at 2/4.
Since the start of the year after all of these hours im at -438$...... 2/4 is such a drain....i seriously have a problem with continuously rebuying too...i won't stop.
