When things are done on impulse you never take a second to think of the consequences which means it's hard to learn a lesson from them that stops it happening in the future.

Blue, your original post was..............

Is there any way that I can stop myself playing for a set amount of time? I have exams coming up and I know there is zero chance of any revision being done if I can play poker/fifa. I have sold my games console to avoid fifa but as long as I have access to poker I will play poker. Has pokerstars got anyone that you can contact to have you're account suspended until a certain date? This is my last night of poker for the next month if I can get my account suspended

If you dont have the self discipline to control yourself, to the point where you actually have to sell a games consol, just so you cant play FIFA and self-exclude just to not play poker then I'm sorry to be the one to tell you here but you should really stop playing altogether until you get your shit worked out.

You are playing with fire here,. Take it from me, I know a little bit about addictions and you are showing all the classic signs.

Remind yourself why you self excluded yourself and make the best of it. Trust me, I hate revision as well, and I was never any good at it, but doing revision for my A2s and not for my AS's was the difference from getting BCC to ABB in my A-Levels overall. Knuckle down and do it, got good grades and poker will still be here. What's a month or a few weeks out of your life? You're still young and have ages to play poker, but only one shot at your exams(trust me you don't want to be wasting your summer holidays revising for retakes). Best of luck with them and I look forward to hearing how they go. Best of luck mate.

Doubt you'll regret this self-exclusion after awhile (& for sure won't regret that you did this once you've finished the 30days). You made the decision for a reason & now (imo) it's your impulsive/addictive behaviour that is telling you your exclusion decision was impulsive (imo).
Denial - Don't even know I am lying.
The disease of addiction is the only disease that tells you that you don't have one.

As long as you have the need poker, and since Pokerstars will freeze/completely close your account at some point if you try and reload on that site with another account - maybe give Sun Poker a try

They are Non-US site that has just released new software and provide some good promotions on the iPoker Network.

For new players they have a $1,000 New Depositor Tournament and a $500 Deposit Matching Bonus

If you are really a gambler they just started a new offering called BackBet.

What exactly is a BackBet?
A ‘BackBet’ is a bet on something to happen – placing a side bet on possible occurrences. Also known as a prop bet in the poker world, using back bet players can increase their winnings without ever having to leave the poker table.

How to use BackBet at SunPoker
When you sit at the designated BackBet tables at SunPoker, you will be able to immediately start placing your side bets by click on the BackBet icon next to the table. Several betting options will be made available, such as wagering on what community cards you think will be dealt or what you think your hole cards will be on any given hand.

A BackBet wager is conducted directly via your poker account and does not affect your balance at the table. The betting currencies are designated by the tables that you play at.

The BackBet tables also offer a complete “Betting History” option allowing you to keep track of all your side-betting action!


Also, they have a bunch of different Jackpot SNGs including the $50K Craze Jackpot

Winners of 4 consecutive $10 + $2 "$50K Craze – Jackpot Sit 'N' Go" tournaments claim not only their tournament winnings but also an ultimate $50,000 Jackpot!

The problem with doing anything impulsively is that it's easy to say after it was stupid but at the time it feels like the greatest idea in the world. When things are done on impulse you never take a second to think of the consequences which means it's hard to learn a lesson from them that stops it happening in the future.
