Have you ever considered giving up poker?

UncleConRon · Jan 5, 2020

My opinion

I like my decks of cards used and dice rolled just to get to the lotto and roulette. I really hope your good enough to take my winnings. I once learned from an old guy. He was up in blackjack. Waxing the casino. Along came Jim. Waxed the old man. Just for kicks flipped him 50 cents. A good rapper.

When I was 18 have a huge fight with my parents because of poker. I really thought on giving up that time but today I consider myself a strong person

Yes I have. When I get so many negative feedbacks from family, and my breakthrough became a disaster. But I realized, that developing is not always easy, so I made up my mind and tried different strategies, and learned so much from videos, and personal experiences. So maybe you need time as well to re-think your view of it.

Don't give up buddy!
Just pause and then play again, that might be good. Especially when things are not working out.

I did for many year stop poker.
Because I had the whole time bad beats, I did read my opponents perfectly.
And it was only just one card that could save them, but always the river showed that card.
And that never happened to me, so thought the game hated me...
I recently restarted, still have those bad beats, but changed my game play to be able to cope with those and lose less money.
I started to be profitable even with those bad beats.

Don't mind the negative feedback, keep improving your play and watch other players how they play? I learn a lot from that and became a better player, but still need to improve a lot.

Bro! Too many hands lost with less than 5% probability in a row! I don't know if it's poker or the site. what do you think?

I think this is because we are alone, and there are many rivals. Approximately, almost 35% of you will fall for AA. I mean, when you play zoom. You are one against all. If to you AA for day can come 2-3 times, then UTS rival against which you play this can be 7-8 times. Think about it you sit down on the table Zoom you One and at the table still 458 people play and all they discard bad map and play only with good, type monster. Example: If you play in a 15,000 tournament, you are 1 against 14,999. This is MTT. And on zoom, you play with everyone. I think it's best to play Cash. And yet, for me, the management of all poker rooms are deceived, that is, scammers. If we're talking about online poker. I never bet on online Poker, I know that am being cheated. There are 10,000 bots. Not to mention the operators. So, this whole online poker industry is built on deception.

Sometimes such thoughts slip through. Have to play a lot of freerolls and sometimes good tournaments. But if you think that if you lose money, then you continue to play. Although small but still money.

Pokerguy6666 · Jan 6, 2020

Nope, but I sometimes take month-long breaks.

Complicated decision, friend!
I am reluctant to give up, but I can't get 100% either for lack of time and resources!

Hello, Erik moraes! Honestly saying. I'm very surprised your statement: "Unfortunately I am thinking about it..." Because, as I know, the brazilians are players by Life, and very Lucky in Poker! I know what I'm talking about, because constantly crossing with
the brazilian players for the poker tables! I think, this (about the "brazilian luckiness") can confirm the many players from other countries! Not need give up, never ever(!), and need to fight, as in the Poker, so and in the Life! Because, if Life continues, this means the all continues!... Good Luck! See You for the tables!

Brazilian players have the most luck?!?!?!

I never knew about this phenomenon.

I have,many times. I always come back when i need money

But it really is time consuming and you should take some time off from time to time.Use it as a tool for better life. Dont let it become your life

HobokenNJ · Jan 6, 2020

I have not. Although I go through cycles where I limit my play (or take a day off -- not sure I've ever taken two days off in a row, unless I'm in an area where play isn't popular).

There's a bunch of ways of dialing back (e.g., freerolls / lower stakes / etc.) that make quitting seem unnecessary.

I guess if it were no longer enjoyable, then I'd quit (unless I was making BIG BUCKS -- which I'm currently not).

Szachajevy · Jan 6, 2020

I was considering once, in 2018 year when I lost lots of money, I was so depresed. But Im glad what I continue playing and in 2019 I won and returned some money

Hemified · Jan 6, 2020

I can get burnout from time to time, but I know my limits (funds). Ever since I changed it up I play tournaments and I play sit and goes. And I have weekly tourneys for my friends and they love rebuys.

I have never considered giving up poker, just take breaks. After awhile it does wear you down that for sure. I have played at a couple of online sites that were less than honest and got pretty upset, but rather than just quit I did my research and found a better place to play. Even certain casinos I have got to a place where I decided enough. I just found a new environment, and moved on. Now if it causing a financial hardship, or maybe relationship issues, then I think one may have a very good reason to consider throwing in the towel. I wish you well on whatever decision you make.

AntA_KO_v · Jan 8, 2020

every time after 3-4 badbeats in a row think about it =))) but after getting ITM once forgotten...

chris0817 · Jan 9, 2020

no. never. it's my hobby

Iggykiddo · Jan 9, 2020

When I go AK against AQ on the bubble all in pre and Q hits the river. Yes.

mtmigmike · Jan 9, 2020

When you lose a whole week, I think I can stop playing poker.

Have you ever considered giving up poker?
