Your posts show the frustrations of the situation. I know how addictive it is and although I dont know your predicament, your presence on this Forum proves you are not stupid gamblers per sa. Its so easy to get carried away with all this( I have also been sucked in ) and lose money that was hard earned in some other sport that took hours of study.
The only way I have found to combat it is, keep telling yourself, you are not going to throw away the money that took hard hours earning at other sports, and as usual with all betting, take each betting transaction with the mindset that losing would be a slur on you or your family members.

I am sorry I come across like that but I do genuinely post what I have found to be true. Far too often on these pages people post of easy money and good new tricks. It is very easy to ignite a thought in someone who is waiting to be lite, but gambling is a tough game, even for the best, so when anyone starts posting easy tricks or a quick trip to heaven, I feel I have to intervene to redress the situation.
Please remember, it takes nothing to profess winning ways on this Forum, always give more credence to losing posts.

If I have just sit down at a table and get A/K 1st hand, I wouldn't do much raising, but if I had been there awhile and had a nice feel to the table and having seen the other players tactics for some piece of time, I may raise my ante.
