Im gonna activly answer this thread because maybe it will help someone else that might be going down same road I have many times. I honestly want to totally seperate myself from poker rightn now, but when/if I do come back I have no problem putting $50 or so on and playing 45 person $1.00+.20 sit and go's. I'am the most negative person when it comes to play money, I hate it and will never play it. Like I said I will never play poker trying to make tons of money with it and will never keep more then $100 in my account at a time. If I happen to win a tourney when I come back I will withdraw anything over $100 because its too tempting to move up levels and donkey my money away. If there would be something I wanted to play I would deposit just to play that event....make sense? |

If you want/need to distance yourself from poker, I understand. I think it's fairly well known that I forced myself to take a month off, circa 2003, and to this day, I am still glad that I did.
But............................. if you think you'd like to play for fun, come join a few our our league events. Watching eejit donk off his money (after sucking out on and doubling through studiopet) and watching pshabi go on "life tilt" when he loses a coinflip.... it's just priceless, I tell ya. |

yea good idea
yea sounds like fun and when you do league #3 I might take you up on that TP. I really do want to take at least a couple months off to make sure I can get away from it if I need to. I think im addicted to a point but want to make sure I can control it. Want to make sure I can go awhile without playing. I think if I can just play for fun I can really enjoy poker like I used to because to be honest with you I was disgusted <sp> last couple days. Seems like when there is no pressure on me and Im just playing for fun I tend to do alot better. Like the AC tourney, and like when I got back from it. BUT when I made what I concider a really good bankroll I just blew up. I will still be around.....You know you all cant get rid of me

Brian i will say that when i took a break from poker (though not volunteerly) It helped me greatly....i read books and MUCH MUCH advice from Zy, Shabi, TP and the rest of the gang and when i got back into poker i saw myself as a MUCH MUCH better player...i realized what BR management was....i found out the importance of playing others as well as yourself.....i won a couple live tournies and can say i have the confidence i should have had a long time ago when playing.....best of luck with your departure from the game and i hope that you learn a lot from it....i know i did
