Default Re: Should I give up online poker?

The obvious quick answer seems to be, yes. You don't win; you tilt; you think the games might be rigged.

However, you have played for four years and unless you have suddenly decided you can't afford your losses, or you don't enjoy spending your time playing online any more, then stopping what for you has been the equivalent for others of watching TV, or playing sports, or having fun with their families, or whatever, and has been your entertainment, would leave a void in your life which could actually cause you unhappiness and malcontent.

Obviously, something has changed, or you wouldn't be asking the question, and you "want" to give it up. Therefore, I would suggest that instead of your making a promise to yourself that you might not be able to keep and saying that you will never play online again, you should promise yourself that you won't play online again until the 1st January 2006.

Then, on that date, you will be able to start playing again, or give it up for another month, or give it up altogether, from a position of knowledge of yourself, and with self integrity.
