It takes a long time to learn..

Well, it takes a man to share this story with all of the ego that runs around poker message boards. I respect you for that. Might open up the eyes of some the young bucks who feel like their invincible.

When you get back to 5/10, you should find me there. Good luck to you and be sure to share your endeavors along the way.

Last question: How drunk were you?

Geez this is a page right out of my playbook.fortunatly I'm still up as I had a few huge runs and kept pulling out and winning , but god I know the feeling.

Here is one im sure all of you can relate too.You sit down at a table just to play a few hand and you end up up 165 bucks before you know it and for some gamblers reason you feel the need to stop being up 200,(whats another 35 bucks EASY) well then you get drawn out and rivered and beforew you know it your goal now is to get back to even.Needless to say you end up busting out and wishing you stoped at up 165 .Its amazing that I can write about how stupid that is but im about to sitdown at PS and I'll do it again I'm sure.Why is that?Im going in wish me luck!!!!

Kudos to you for posting this, Sir... This is a post everyone should take note of. It is VERY easy for anyone to fall into this trap, getting over their head and losing control fast. It's something we all need to be aware of, because it happens to the best of us.

GL rebuilding.

I actually hardly ever drink much and I NEVER have played Poker drunk. I just let the game get the best of me. Anyone who does not think this is a hard game in more ways than one is stupid. There are reasons the best Poker players in the world end up desolate sometimes..

if your playing 5/10 and you start losing... instead of moving up, you should either turn it off for the night or maybe move down to like 3/6 and just try to get some back. I know if your at $700 or whatever and you end up at like $580... thats alot to lose but there is always tommorrow.

FYI: I know $700 isnt a bankroll for 5/10... I was just using random numbers.

I know better too. Its the part between knowing and doing where we all get screwed. One day of lack of discipline can wipe out a whole months worth of good work.
