Sure have womble :)

I actually used the trial version and it seemed like a decent piece of software ..

But that kind of tilt has never been my problem ... the moment i start to tilt ..i kinda tilt quickly and HARD !! .. :mrgreen:

My form of tilt is too much to actually play through and its a instant stop to my session ... ive stopped long before i start throwing buy ins about .. which is what tilt breaker is for.

I basically have my own tilt breaker built in already ... :D because ill stop straight away and wont play for a good while ... sometimes days :?

I take running poorly so personally ... its like being taunted by someone you dont like ... it dont take much to lose your rag for a few seconds ... only to feel crap afterwoods.

Thankfully ... those silly days are over ... and there is a new me in town. 8)

Have you thought about starting a poker goals thread on 2+2 Llan to prevent you from backing out when the shit hits the fan?

Suggesting Llan backs out of his commitments on ITH? Surely not. Shame on you, mconstab.

He's dragged up a couple of very random threads in OT. I haven't completely ruled out a very sophisticated bot as he hasn't responded to further comments, but my money is still on an existing poster.

=4 is full of poker goal threads that last a few pages and just stop for no apparent reason ...

I have started a couple of small goal threads myself a while back on =4 ..but i soon got bored and decided one thread on here is enough.

I have no wish to prove anything to =4 ... i do however want to prove a few things to ITH ....which i will do this year.

lol ... your still persisting with this ? ... i have no idea where this idea was planted in your head .... i can assure you .. im only posting as Llanlad ... after all .. i need to catch hawk ... so im not going to waste posts using another alias.

640 hands in !!

Hit 2 A flops with Ax .. lost both, even hit trips with one and lost a better kicker.

Had AA once .. all in preflop against QQ .. he turns the Q ..

Ended up break even .... will play again tonight .... NOT A RANT IN SIGHT .. :shock:

The evolution has began ..

Well ... my first day is done ...

First impressions are ...its going to take me a bit to get back into the swing of things .. :mrgreen:

Played 1124 hands ..so not too bad ...got a little frustrated at being check raised or played back at a lot ...even more annoying when its from your typical passive FR player ..

Had a took a couple of deep breaths when i raise with hands like KJs and hit top with flush draw ... get called on the flop and turn and im pot donked on the river when the ace appears after me missing the draw ..

Anyways ... its all good ... will get my computer mate to look at my computer .. hopefully he will give me a couple of options as to what i need to improve performance .... felt like my computer was struggling a bit playing 18 tables.... even on Stars.

Its all a nightmare ..

Its taken me 4 smallish sessions and around 1700 hands and break even to lose the plot again ..

Ive got a banging headache and cannot be bothered now ...

You know what ... poker just stresses me out ..plain and simple .....seems there is nothing i can do about it ..

Im seriously going to give it the rest of the month .. and if things dont change ...ill just stop ...

I can be mad at times ..but not mad enough to put myself through this at the mega micros ... just not worth it ....

Its lamentable on my behalf .. it truly is ...even im starting to see some common sense in all this now ..

THIS GAME FRUSTRATES THE FEK OUT OF ME ... AND EVEN THATS MEGA FRUSTRATING TOO :?

I reckon i have a medical brain defect ....none of this can be my fault ...im way above criticism .. :mrgreen:

I apologize for the whinge like post ...

From now on ..if i tilt or lose my rag .. i shall keep it to myself ... absolutely no point in posting about it.

Just need to knuckle down ... and get on with it ..

Only good posts from now on =D>

Its all over mate ..

Ive not played for a month due to being busy ...in that time i actually fancied a game ...but its taken me less than 2k hands and just over 3 hours of play to utterly hate the game again.

Ive sat down today ... it took 3 hands for someone to min raise UTG and hit their set with 66 against my KK on trivial J63 flop .. another few hands for my KK to lose all in against JJ and now someone else has just hit his set ..

Right now ...im as close as ever to finally stop playing ... ive promised myself and others that are close to me that a lot of things are changing this year ...i feel im focusing on other stuff and there are some things im looking at and actually thinking ..why am i bothering doing such things ..

Maybe its because you get older ... but certain stuff that i found interesting and fun and now becoming rather tedious and im finding i want to try other things .... poker is really high up on that list right now...but its not the only thing in all honesty.

How do you fight such feelings .. and is there any real point in doing so.
