Message: [QUOTE="Sean Pilgrim, post: 1405767, member: 53779"] I'm sure a lot of us have been there. Don't fret. Poker takes a lot of time, a lot of dedication, and a lot of learning. There's not a single session where I looked back and didn't say "Why did I do that? WTF was I trying to accomplish?" Don't worry I am in the same boat as you. I'm still recovering from losses from like the past 5 years. I took a break from online poker and even had a long absence from CC for awhile. I just needed to take a step back and regain composure. In my off time I read probably 15 - 20 poker books that were written by "pros" honestly I don't think they wrote more than 10% of the book in most cases. Over lifetime stats I've probably lost $4 to $6K online, and that's from being a "degenerate gambler" and not a "poker player". Don't think of this as a failing part of playing, just think of it as a expensive learning experience. In regards to PT3 and HEM, I highly suggest it, even when I started to play seriously I was playing 1 table at a time and much like you, boredom got the best of me and J9s looked playable from UTG. Since I've bought HEM and PT3 (yes I have both), I'm gradually increasing my win rate and it is helping my game a lot. More importantly than anything is discipline. If you start using PT3 or HEM and get tilted on one table and you have like 8 up, that tilt will affect all your tables. Just take loses and suck outs in stride and don't take them personally. Just know that most likely that player was us one day the "Big Fish Trash Talker Who Chases Runner Runner Flush With A2s" I'm guilty of it, when it happens to me: "It's Karma" Keep your chin up, keep reading books, but not just read but try to absorb all the information possible from them. Keep on learning plays and strategies. BTW, if you have $1.50 there's a tourney this Saturday for Dusty Schmidt's book "Treat Your Poker Like A Business" it's a great read and it's being sent for free to 1st place. -Sean [/QUOTE]
