bigbrennan 0 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Self ban from sites that have blackjack / casino games.Play on sites that are only poker based (tilt etc). Link to post Share on other sites
Snamuh 0 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Honestly just quit poker. You don't have the self control to play within your means and skill level. Until you develop that self control, you will never succeed. Seriously, if you hate yourself for playing out of your roll and playing BJ, why do you continually do it? It's probably because you play poker for the big scores and you won't play for amounts of money that aren't significant to you, which will prevent you from making money in this game.

People that are serious about the game and want to genuinely become better players grind out hundreds of thousands of hands at lower limits. Noone sits down at 200NL one day and expects to be a winner long-term. It's just ignorant and you might as well light your money on fire. The money at micro stakes is insignificant at first but that's not what it's about if you want to move up once you become a better player. Link to post Share on other sites

whatgreatis 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Whatever happened to the 100% rakeback for WSEX? It was 100 wasn't it?Yeah, well they were "rake free." I'm pretty sure they have 80 players on their site at a time.And OP, keep playing poker if you enjoy it and can afford losing. I'd recommend depositing more and starting a little lower so it lasts longer. Link to post Share on other sites
