Classic eejit.
No need for me to respond to the first line, as Boobie already has that covered. nh, Boobie. But for the rest, YES, he should care. Your statement is a fine example of being results oriented about poker. Just because something works out doesn't mean you made the correct decision. Even if you win the pot after calling a massive all in bet preflop with 72o and suck out on your opponents AA, you don't get to pat yourself on the back and say how great of a play you made. The same goes for things like this. If this was important enough to JD to actually set a goal about it AND he had so little self control that he placed a bounty on his head in hopes that would deter him from doing this, and then he STILL failed to meet said goal, then yes, I think he should care, even if he ended up winning money at the table. I'm sure you (eejit) don't see it, but there are signs here of a potential gambling problem, if not one that is already in full swing. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I have no idea how people can not meet goals that are along the lines of "Don't do ______." If you can't NOT do something (along these lines, anyway), then you have no self control and really need to step back and examine the bigger picture. IMO. JD - I hope you aren't taking this as a shot at you, because it's not meant to be that. But yes, I do have some concerns about all of this, and I don't think it would be right for me not to voice them, just because you are a winner. shabi's posts in this thread () are spot on. IMO, you've got a little SWA in you. Brain's SWAness is just more obvious, because his involves him blowing his entire roll over and over again. Yours is a little harder to see, because you are a (big) winning player and you manage to stop yourself before things get too far out of control. But the SWAness is still there, and to deny it would be lying to yourself and potentially a very costly mistake someday down the road... Accept it, learn to deal with it, and hopefully overcome it.
