Default Re: My poker (loser) experience

I'd recommend setting personal limits on poker play, ie. never play when tired, upset, etc.

Maybe the challenge of playing limit poker was the cause for "the limit addiction"

It seems like you had dominated the no limit games, and perhaps because you weren't winning at limit the challenge appealed to you. Also because you were winning and losing it met the criteria for the maximal addiction. Which could be part of the problem.

A. you probably aren't a high stakes winning limit player

B. you probably could be since you had enough skills to play high stakes no limit


so move up along with your bankroll with no limit, and if you want to play limit start at $.50/1 limit and don't move a limit until you are crushing that limit.

I know that may seem silly to go from playing 100/200 limit
to .50c/$1 but if you aren't a winning player at a game then you're just another donator...

I also blew my bankroll playing a game, that I wasn't good enough/had too many leaks and didn't have the bankroll for.

So I understand where you are coming from....

best of luck to you,

Joseph
