Do I need help LOL

[suzanne]

The problem is I have got kinda hooked on this car crash kinda game....I know it will all tumble 1 day but for the moment im winning. The true test will be seeing the signs and putting the brakes on when it happens.

Im hoping and think I can.

Suzanne,

I think the question here is how you would have felt if you'd lost that hand?  If you're happy to gamble (and lose) the $80+ dollars you've accumulated, then all well and good.  If, however, you're continuing to play with a few to winning then I don't think this was a good move.

Ultimately, if the rush of making big bets and gambling is what you enjoy, and you can afford it, then go ahead!!!

Suzanne, what are you doing?

Seriously grinding cash games are not for you I think, please change or try sngs for example before you lose your dough.

Or else sit down in a game I'm in.

Actually that's a great idea, then you will have the money to enable you to play that style

[jezza777]

Suze , the question is why do you play poker ? If its for the buzz and rush then fantastic but if you are playing to win then you need to be careful . If Beeze turns over 99, or 10, 9 on that hand how do you feel ?

I'd imagine she would feel great winning the pot rather than chopping it

I'm disheartened that all this cracking advice you've been receiving is falling on deaf ears.

[Royal Flush]

It seems to me you are just in to gamble ($20 on a .5-1 game) if you want to just get invoved then play 6 handed sng's or hu sng's

[TightEnd]

Exactly, the style you want to play seems far more suited to sngs rather than cash, they take less time, are less of a grind and you can create a lot of action around the bubble and people will pass to you!

Trust me snoopy I am taking all this advice in and it is very much appreciated.

Tighty SNGs is what I play, usually $5/$10 extended as I have found this is where i play best and I do reasonable well on them. I am considering moving up but im sure I'm good enough yet.

As Keithy pointed out, I play for fun and the fact that I no longer need to deposit is good enough for me.

I only tried cash when I went through a bad patch on STTs starting of at the micro tables which I thought were very hard and gradually moving up. The higher stakes I went the fishier the players got and I found it quite easy to cash playing ABC but I found it boring...still it served its purpose and topped up my bankroll.

I moved up to 50c/1 and I have found this is the level I feel most comfortable at but as has been pointed out it is a bit high for my bankroll. So what I have been doing is playing 25/50 sitting with $20 playing tight till ive trebled up and then moving up to 50/1 and playing manic with an all or nothing attitude. The buzz is GREAT.

I think the question here is how you would have felt if you'd lost that hand? 

Ok... because I am playing with money I have won earlier with the intention of either winning a reasonable sum or going bust and I limit myself to $60 each night (once $80) so in essence I would at worse be $20 down.

Can i please add that this not my "normal" play and is just a bit of fun before I go to bed.

My original post was because some players are taking offence to this kind of play and I thought maybe I should stop.

Since getting all this excellent advice I am now considering whether I should concentrate more on cash and perhaps try to make some money out of the game but im just not sure I have the patience or if I want to take the fun factor out of it.

99 and 10-9 would only make one smaller pair, hence a loser.
