Re: <---------upside down bottle of dom
no, BB is "big bets," i.e. 34.25x4=$137
Not a huge amount of money, but more than a single buy-in. As for those saying I should stop playing poker, I withdrew my entire bank roll a few days ago.

Re: <---------upside down bottle of dom
Despite the fact that I've won money pretty consistently over the past year online, I hate the swings and the bad beats from terrible players. No doubt, there are many things that I could improve in my game, but it's the psychological stress of it all that broke my will to continue playing so seriously. I know a lot of people here can sustain it, but I cannot. I may play to clear some bonuses in the future, but I need to take poker much less seriously in my life if I am going to enjoy it.
The origin of my problem is that I'm extremely competitive when I play games. I insist on winning every time and can't even think of going easier on inexperienced players or people I like (whether I'm playing chess, poker, or whatever...). This drive caused me to do the necessary and unnatural things for winning long-term at poker, but the short-term losses to people playing badly drives me insane.

It can be a brutal game. Good luck to you. Nigel
