Re: I could use some help from someone who knows what they\'re on about
My advice is a little different.
I don't suggest you run away from the game and go find "other hobbies". You are passionate about poker and have many years to improve your skill level and discipline. Poker is not the devil, it will not lead to problems, and it is not a waste (unless, of course, you take it too far). Moderation in poker, along with everything else in life, is the key. Do not overstress yourself. You are only 17 and have an entire college life ahead. Poker is an awesome game because it builds skills that are unmeasurable in value. It is an awesome skill to have - not only as a financial support, but more importantly to build you ... as a person. First and most importantly, I suggest that you stay within your limit. Don't take shots for a quick grand, you will find a pattern with this behavior only after it's too late. You are young, enjoy your money, but earn it ... I mean really grind it out. Make yourself proud of what you've done right, not what you been taking as an underdog. Lastly, my best advice for you. You may already do this, and if so great, but if not remember this if nothing else: Shut your mouth, and listen. You have a lot to learn about poker and about life. We have two ears, but only one mouth for a reason. Best of luck to you, my friend. Don't give up no matter how hard you've been kicked. Stay strong and you'll be fine. -KidPokerX |

Re: I could use some help from someone who knows what they\'re on about
Have you tried drinking or drugs? Maybe if you made some "new" friends and started drinking some beer smoking a little weed it would get your mind off all this gambling!!!
Also when i was 17 all i could think about was Girls, Im 35 now and not much has changed but thats my two cents! Hope this helps, Your Friend, MRV |
