Message: [QUOTE="quick, post: 1606743, member: 133269"] I've seen some great feedback here (as well as some downright judgmental feedback) which has led me to a few things: - Full Tilt is bad for me but it doesn't mean it's bad for everyone, although Rush Poker is like poker crack as others have said and a true BR killer. However if some people just like to gamble and have fun, I can see its purpose for them. Full Tilt has agreed to suspend my deposit options which means if I do play there again all I have is the few dollars left over and a few thousand FTP to play around with; no more rush poker for me. I've never played drunk or high on Cake, who knows why but it only happens with FT likely due to the quick deposits and easy access on my Mac OS (primary OS). - I need better BRM guidelines...but I don't need to be a nit about it because I'm not a pro and have no intentions of being a pro, I need some guidelines so I can play for a while on a small roll but still play at a level where I'm not getting bored and thus sloppy. - All poker players are gamblers to a certain extent, to those judging me as an alcoholic and a gambling addict (I don't recall stating any criteria to match diagnosis for either conditions) remember we're all gamblers. Even the best players still take chances and still lose, luck is always a factor and the rake is always there. - I'm still trying to figure out where online poker fits into my life. Will I give up online poker for good? I don't know. I enjoy it now more than when I was dumb about it, and I won't be playing drunk anymore. Perhaps I see it like a video game...I have a friend who plays video games at least 8 hours a day...he makes no money playing it and no chance to make money playing it...at least poker offers that chance. He spends his money buying video games, I spend some buying buy ins. Maybe it has a place after all, I find myself playing maybe 1-2 hours every other day or so, is that excessive, some people spend 8-10 hours a day playing. - I admit I've questioned even bothering to continue...withdrawl limits are a pain, the US govt makes it harder and harder to get money in and out, its harder and harder to see online poker as a way to make any money, more like paying to play a video game...money goes in, entertainment comes out but money doesn't come back. I'm not quitting online poker, I won't be depositing again at FT it looks like and I'll be on Cake as long as my current roll lasts. I can say I've become better at setting boundaries, time limits, and knowing when to walk away, but I probably still have a lot to learn about poker. [/QUOTE]
