Busted bankroll - seeking advice

[2Tone]

I’d suggest that at the moment you need to less focused on poker strategy, and more worried about the role that poker is playing in your life.

As you seem aware, gambling – including poker – can very easily escalate into an addiction, which appears to be the case in your situation. If you were addicted to crack, and it had cost you $1000, and was damaging your performance at work and relationship with your wife, you (hopefully) wouldn’t be posting about how to best cook crack rock, or where to score. You’d be posting on advice on how to best get clean.

I’d suggest you need to quit playing poker for a lengthy amount of time. Six months, maybe more. Take the programs off your desktop, and unsubscribe from the mailing lists. The harder this is to do, the more it indicates how necessary it is. If you need help to do so, don’t hesitate to get it.

When and if you decide to return, you need to constantly be evaluating not just how you play the game, but what impact it is having on the rest of your life.

I sincerely wish you the best.
