life is in a constant state of flux. some of us are having babies (i "have babies" every few days, ty birth control), some of us have moved on from poker to caring for our 15 year old no longer babies (WVH), some of us have moved on from poker for other reasons (early onset alzheimers ---> vanquish). it's important to manage the rush of real life coming on without panic. this is why i'm here.


you relied on online poker as a window of escape. the competitive nature of the game kept your brain firing at 85%+ of its cylinders. you were ready for anything. you wanted to rape fish because not only did it feel good, it made the monetized digits in your account fulfill your soul in a way that no penis pill ever could.


you are a competitor. it's in your heart. clowning fools in a 4b pot doesn't just make you feel good (let's face it, it makes you feel sooo good), it made you feel like you were in your zone. this is you. this is what you're meant for.


i have felt this way too, favorable CC member, i have felt this way for a long time. it's a sticky feeling to shake. i want to feel like poker is no longer a part of me, because i no longer play poker. i can no longer rely on $100+/hr sessions of playing/coaching. it consumes me with anger and guilt: "why, WHY can't i find something that'll be as easy and as well-paying????"



end act 2 of life, enter act 3:



money doesn't equate to happiness



recall a moment in your life when you felt pure amazing 100% happiness and conviction in your life (perhaps you were crushing fools in dodgeball in gym class in 4th grade or maybe you were having the most amazing sex with a beautiful albeit slightly mentally handicapped serbian hooker (hopefully not in the 4th grade)) --> most likely it wasn't derived from pure monetary spendings was it??


that's right!! you are able to fulfill yourself outside of the framework poker has set for you. focus your mind on something you are truly passionate about. imagine yourself happy in a workplace outside of your computer chair (let's face it, you've spent too much 'intimate time' on that beast anyways), and focus on the aspects that can make that a reality.


poker won't be around forever and maslow wasn't ****in around when he put self-actualization at the top.



step outside yourself. i look at all you guys (except WVH, he's old) and i see infinite potential. i want to see you guys living more life and less 38/4% drooler 3b me on dry flop with bottom set w/ butthole redraw no lube wat 2 dew?


thus in conclusion, i leave you with my desktop pic (stolen), let's make it a reality:
