we have reached an understanding
Just to be clear, if I keep on re-raising you on Saturday night, I'm not just doing it to make a point - I
will
have premium hands...

Just to be equally clear, when I re-raise you I will never have preimum hands and will always be tilting. So call.

I seem to remember a thread a while back which concerned the ethics of poker - how did people feel about winning money from players who were down to the felt, reloading with the last of the housekeeping or mortgage money for instance - people who obviously had problems with controlling their urge to gamble.
For anyone interested, here is that thread.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life.

Of course not.

All I can say is whilst you feel you are playing stakes "beneath you" you aren't in the frame of mind to play to your full potential.
Take a longish break, study the game some more, learn about bankroll sizes and the limits you should be putting on them (due to swings) and finally only come back when you take that lowly .50 - $1 game seriously!
If you come back before then because you cant stay away then without sounding too depressing, seeking help aint the worst idea. Poker is highly addictive.
All the best for the future - great post.

great post great replies and this why we are having a little get together
like most i have been playing and lost the lot and start again and lose the lot.
and it is just 2 things
a bankroll management and
b playing the right game
what are really the same things.
with me its the same old prob at 1st you know how it is win a £10mtt u get a bankroll you play a £100mtt u lose so u chase and play again you lose again you now only got £300 left so u play £50mtt a few times and you only have £100 left what you started but u dont play £10 you play £50 still bang its all gone u only won 2 days ago. now i only go up a level when i triple my current bankroll so got £100 i play £10 i get £300 i play £20 i get £900 i play £50 and so on and i am now showing a little profit each month on the net.
see you all sat and i dont care what probs you got i want to win no matter what.......LOL

Someone once said that degenerate gamblers 'subconciously want to lose' and that the need to lose is directly related to thier upbringing and life experiences etc.
I guess that hidden in all this chummy wow what a great post stuff and arnt we a lovley community bit is the fact that this is a gamblers forum. A number of people that post here have gambling problems, the unusual thing about the original post is that the guy realises that fact. I would suggest that the fact you are aware of your problem means that you are a long way to solving it.
You shouldnt be gambling Sir, so stop.............easy for me to say !
good luck
