Re: DRUNKEN PLAY
This can be an absolute bankroll destroyer. Nothing better than getting really trashed and deciding to show those 15/30 bozos who the man is. Been there done that.
You've got two choices.
You can take steps while sober to prevent yourself from playing when you are drunk. I used to have my girlfriend change my password. She would give it to me the next day. This works if you live with somebody you trust who gives a [censored]. There are other tricks you can use. I used to put my mouse in my glovebox or trunk. If I didn't make it home in my car I wasn't going to be able to play. If I did make it home usually just the fact that I sat down at the computer and my mouse was still in the car helped me slow down and think about things a little better.
Your other choice is to deal with your drinking. I used to be a hard core drinker. I was more or less a functional alcoholic. It's a powerful drug man. If losing your poker bankroll is the worst thing that happens to you from abusing it you are lucky. Self control and moderation works for some people. Some people can't touch it at all. If your drinking excessively on a regular basis you need to take a break. If you can't take a break on your own you need to seek help. You can PM me if you want to talk about this.
