is this the depression forum?
 

Is where all the mentally ill gamblers hang out, when they lose or their g/f's lose? Where are the topics on tells, tilt and hand reading?

They stopped because they're boring. Most players aren't good at picking up tells. Some THINK they are, but they aren't. So those posts go nowhere.

Tilt posts are boring. "I am mad and I am on tilt. Does that happen to you guys? How can I make it go away?" Please.

Hand reading? Like using psychic powers? That's in OOT I think.

Now, the details of people's personal lives? Those are GOOD posts. Because we are all experts on fixing other peoples lives.

I'd like more posts about self control, but most likely we get more of the same, understanding the finer workings of your own head can be an important thing in this game.

But there are a hundred million bajillion posts about this in the archive. And they all say the same thing. And it's largely an unavoidable problem. The more money you play for in relation to the amount of money you have, the more emotional impact losing has on you. If you frequently go on tilt and lose tons of money because of self-control issues, this is possibly (maybe even likely) not "fixable" with a few lines of advice from strangers.

Anyway, my post was a bit of a joke anyway. If you want more self control posts, why don't you post them yourself?

I spend most of my waking hours crying in my bathtub and drinking Pabst tall boys. You gotta problem with that?
