I need help

I can't seem to stop playing poker for real money. I was already a member of the cardschat club, a place where I should never have left, unfortunately I accepted an invitation from an acquaintance to join a Brazilian poker club, having the erroneous thought that I would run into weak players and thus be able to earn a nice money . But the reality was completely different, I've been losing a lot of money constantly, making me fall into depression. The worst thing is that I am not able to stop playing, even though I know I cannot play anymore. I'm sick addicted to poker! And now what do I do?

Recognizing you have a problem is a good first step. Addiction of all types can be helped with counseling. consider removing yourself from gambling websites and even the forum if it makes you want to play

Hope you get the help you need

The first thing to do is to ban the game for real money in all rooms where you play. And, if possible, contact a specialist.

At first I thought it was going to be just a hobby, a hobby, or even a diversion, but today I see the negative balance of 25k of money thrown away in just 1 year, taking into account that I am a Brazilian from the lower-middle class. Today I returned to send messages on cardschat in order to rejoin the club and thus kill my desire to play in the freerolls. I will hold on and I have faith that I will be able to stop playing on that platform.

The question you've got to ask is will playing freerolls make you want to play for money again I think with any addiction playing at all is a bad idea IMO

Stop playing poker I don't think about that possibility at the moment, the first big step would be to stop playing for money, it will be a great advance. I have been playing poker for 6 years, and since I started playing poker every day, so I want you to understand that I am completely in love with playing cards.

if you are depressed after losing 25k, imagine how depressed you will feel at being down 50k if you keep playing at your current pace. Get out of the Brazilian poker club while you can, before it causes even more harm.
