I like playing against 2+2ers, b/c they think I'm a fish and try to value bet me on every street w/ second pair. Suckers.

This sounds like a typical gambling problem. I know, I've been there, done the same things. I would have a bad day playing poker and I say to myself: "I'm gonna get that money back!" Then I'd lose my whole bankroll playing roulette or black jack. Luckily the sums I lost were "only" hundreds something, not thousands or more.

It's sad really, I know I could have some nice money playing poker last 6 months(I have stats to prove this) but I never got my bankroll growing because of that occasional roulette/black jack.

Now I'm trying AGAIN, starting from scratch, playing the smallest sit&go:s and trying to rebuild my bankroll. I love poker too much to quit, I just have to keep it together and not play these stupid casino games anymore.

RTN, I see you at 2k nl right now, lets hope you're bankrolled and not tilting away your stash. I sure hope it's not a repeat.

Last time i blew my roll was 5 months ago. After breaking things, the first thing i did was sit down and write down how shitty it felt. Then i analyzed my play. Back then it was something like "i suck with a big stack, stand up with 2.5 buyins or more at the table" etc.
Then I wrote out limits on how much to lose and what stakes to play. Then i went into Paint and made a black background and wrote in big [censored] yellow letters GET YOUR [censored] TOGETHER and under it wrote down my limits.
It was the desktop on my computer for 3 months.
Seeing that every single time i looked at my computer (and explaining it to others) certainly motivated me to fix my [censored].

What you really need are some cold showers and scourgings with a good old leather belt to help restore discipline to your body and gain control over emotions.

All the analysis stuff will only tell you to stop playing, which is crap.

Pain is good.
