thanks for replies
I previously had some gambling issues right after college which was nearly 20 years ago. Sports betting with a bookie - a number of guys at my office got sucked in. I lost about $5000 and making matters worse was that I had just gotten married and we had purchased our first home. My wife and I didn't have much cash then and I took a second job for a few months to pay things off. After that I cooled off and haven't bet sports with a bookie since. Although I am in a healthy dose of low stakes office pools, fantasy football leagues, etc. I also have shied away from casinos since I know I have a latent issue. Now that I have recently discover on-line gambling, I need to focus again on staying under control. Having done it before should give me some confidence. Although I must say that today scared the crap out of me. The only reason I stopped was that I overdrew my checking account and couldn't make another deposit. I was crazed. Now a hard lesson was hopefully learned-I have a lot to lose (3 kids 11,9 and 6) and house, etc.
I actually really enjoy texas hold em' and don't really need to play for high stakes. Hopefully this was a wake call for me and I post some sucess stories in the future. Chris |

Quite frankly, I think you should never even open a poker site or any online casino or sportsbook ever again. You clearly have a problem, and I fear that the temptation for you would be too great and you could get yourself in a lot of trouble.

I've bought in for $50 twice on party poker. I did decent, but both times I lost the majority of my money playing blackjack. I have very bad self discipine problems and the only advice I can give you is to switch to pokerstars because they don't have blackjack.
