Wow what a brilliant read. Thanks for the bump Kev.
I read this with great interest as I am currently sat at home after pissing away £2k last night at DC which is way more than my poker roll allows. This means that I have decided to punish myself by not playing tonight. I also know that I wouldn't be playing properly as I would still be chasing.
The first £500 was fairly standard so no problems. At £750 I said to the table "last buy in" before my £250 top up.
At £2k I was out of money so had to go home. Why did I not go home at £1k when I knew I should? My problem is without a doubt chasing. There were a few people running good at the table and I was running bad so it was definitely not a good table to be playing at.
Why then did I stay? I guess this is where poker becomes a problem for me. It is no different to roulette if you get involved in every pot just to see what you hit. You then chase every half decent draw and don't play solid poker. It becomes a game of pure chance and the skill is removed completely.
Anyway, fortunately I will recover financially from this loss but I doubt I will learn a lesson. I will still turn up with £2k knowing that I don't have the ability to walk away even if I know it's just not my night. Even now at 10pm I am still considering jumping in the shower and setting off for another session to see if I can spin it back up. It's difficult not to but I will manage.
I can't play online because I have said a definite no to that and am determined to stick to it. I know that I am capable of being a long term winner but unfortunately I will never be able to stop myself from playing above my roll and blowing everything so I have just quit for a while and concentrate on the live game which I thoroughly enjoy for the poker and the social aspects.
Anyway just wanted to get that off my chest. I need to get back to my night in front of the TV. (Any ladyboy watching gags not appreciated btw)
Good luck to all the gamblers out there. Keep it under control.

Wow i've played a bunch of 5/10 NL with 20 Buck Spin in the last couple of years always heads up. To be honest i thought he was really spewy bad perhaps i caught a few of the drunken sessions. Can remember frequently running 1/2 or a full buyin up to 10k against him, mostly used to leave if he got more than 200BB's deep but do recall a couple of times getting stubborn and coming out on the wrong side of his sickness in 800BB+ deep pots.
