Brian,
Let's put this into perspective for you:
I am up a whopping $25 bucks on UB right now...
How do I figure that?
Well...
I deposited $1k
Got a bonus of $100 in my pending account.
I have cleared $75 of it...
My balance is at $1125.

You would think I would say, "hey! I'm up $125", right?
Wrong.
The way I look at it, is that $100 was "MINE". I just had to fulfil a task to receive it. In this case, play some breakeven poker.
Therefore I am at $1150 total. [Current balance plus $25 in pending account]

I will consider myself to have lost if I finish my session tonight at less than this amount. Why? because it is MY money.

Ask yourself this,
If you played in the PokerStars 350k guarantee on Sunday, and hit an amazing run of cards and won the whole tourney, and were given first prize of $100k. approx.
What would you do if you could not cash out via Firepay, and had to wait for a cheque?
Would you drop into the highest stake games and blow it?
I wouldn't, I wonder what you would do.

Brian.
I don't know you, nor will I ever probably meet you.

Good luck Brian.
You've got some tough choices to make in the future.
I won't tell you that you should do anything... I'll just say, even without ever having met you, I hope you make the right decision...
For your wife, for your sick child, and for your self.

I really hope you make the right decision.... Whatever that may be for yourself.

LOL....how am I addicted to gambling when I hardly spend any money playing, the biggest deposit ive ever made has been $300 twice when I worked the overtime for. I do not spend bill money on poker only extra money I make.

It would be real easy for me to open my firepay account and empty my whole account if I wanted to. Someone that was addicted would do this in a second. I have enough control to know what money I can spend and what money I cant spend.

If this dosent fit your description of a addict then really everyone that plays poker is addicted. If I where to bust out today I wouldnt go deposit again, its happened before where I busted out and didnt deposit again for weeks until i worked enough overtime for it. Please explain how you see im addicted?

You're a complete fucking idiot.

Leave.

Better yet, ban this fuck.

By the way, you're fucking bi-polar. Seek help. I've never been more annoyed by someone on the internet.

dont take much does it? Think you actully may need to be medicated if you get that annoyed.

You know the funniest thing about you? well you keep comming back to my threads over and over and commenting. If I annoy you soo much you could easily block me and never see anything I write. You dont though do you?

I think you just need everyone to know you are around, Kinda like that dog that keeps humping your leg.
