Have you ever had suicidal thoughts because of your poker losses?

sincos · Mar 27, 2022

Of course not. This is stupid!

86Andi86 · Mar 27, 2022

No !
it's a joke??

RustyRed83 · Mar 27, 2022

For me, no, but i echo what a lot of others here are saying. Seek help, talk to family, talk to this community, talk to health professionals.

I never did, Poker is a way to have fun while spending a time of my life, I love it, but there is more things that I love to do, either, Poker is a game you can win or lose.

Never because of Poker alone, but at times it has the potential to definitely exacerbate my negative tendencies. Or any kind of gambling.

life is worth losing but not over a game of poker.

Suicidal thoughts about poker? Nope.
Homicidal thoughts? Hmm maybe.

slais_pro · Mar 28, 2022

No, fortunately there were no such thoughts, perhaps such thoughts come when you lose very large sums!

CaptainMooti · Mar 28, 2022

I used to when I was younger. Thankfully I realised how stupid it actually is.

Shrops · Mar 28, 2022

No

No, I haven't had suicidal thoughts because of poker. However, I have had suicidal thoughts before.

navicula · Mar 28, 2022

I never, even though I lost today... bankroll and money management are very important... so that you always enjoy playing.

ObiwanJ · Mar 28, 2022

No, if you're prone to those sorts of issues you shouldn't be playing poker and you should be seeking help.

No. Never. Lost almost my whole stake once, $200k thirty-five years ago, but not from poker. It was a scam my brother pulled on me. Didn't talk to him for a good many years. Not talking to him now. That's been the extent of my aggression, toward him or myself. Hit a six-month-losing streak about a half-dozen years after that. Readjusted my strategy and started playing in bad-beat jackpot games. In the middle of the bad streak, I hit two jackpots within two weeks of each other, so my losses were minimal. I've had as many good times in poker as I've had bad, if not more. Just remember you've got to make it through the bad times to get to the good. Nature will take care of the rest. If things got that bad for me, I'd just tell myself I've been waiting my whole life to die. So, I guess I'll just wait a little more.

Suicide is a great sin and a great stupidity. Get those thoughts out of your head

reraee1 · Jul 19, 2022

What a suicide! If you lose, you can win back everything

Despite the fact that poker is a gambling classic, it is quite capable of causing serious addiction. It's not just about people with bad habits or avid slot machine players - for sure, novice players have already managed to put themselves in the place of the wsop winner in their dreams.The popularity of poker has only exacerbated the problem of gambling addiction, as the game has become more accessible than ever. Overcoming addiction to playing poker is difficult, but still feasible and depends mainly on the player himself. Responsible gambling is able to keep gambling at the level of a hobby, preventing it from becoming an obsession.If there is no strength to cope with the game problem on your own, you need to contact a psychotherapist.

lyki67 · Jul 19, 2022

No never. Even if I would lose thousands of dollars. I see that all only as game and I must not win and win millions.

wavetune · Jul 19, 2022

this is already the last stage of gambling addiction, if such thoughts have come to mind, it is better to abandon the game forever, not only poker, from any games, because in fact there is only a step to the worst, even games for conditional free chips, you can't play, i.e. you should refuse any games in principle, it will be difficult to overcome such dependence without the help of a psychotherapist
