I have no clue, but I really grew to, and still do, love the game of poker. However, the game is causing me way too much stress as of late.
I am unsure of really how to explain it. As of the beginning of the summer, I was playing a worst game than I am now, at least in my opinion. After some bad sessions, which really was my own doing, I stopped playing for about a month, and began cashing out.
When I came back, I still had plenty to keep playing. However, I have just not been able to win at all. I even moved back down to NL10, which I am now losing multiple buy-ins at. After a couple of months of trying, I have lost over half of my remaining roll, and am just completely deflated. I have definitely not been running the greatest, but my PT3 graph is showing that I am not even above EV, so I am assuming it is my play that is just awful.
Game is causing me way too much stress, which oddly enough I do not get stressed about anything else at all in my life. I have decided to, as of now, to cash out the remaining bit of my roll and am going to stop for at least a while.
Thanks for everyone that helped me, such as milkman, thumbz, etc. I will probly be back, but I will have to figure out some way to cease being completely awful at this game first.
Now to decide if I should continue reading LP every day or not?

Poker is a sick game. I often think my life would be much better without it.. but on the flip side I wouldn't quit playing for a million dollars. Sick life 4 ever! I def respect the decision to quit though. GOOD LUCK |

Do you feel like you are trying new things? Trying to better your game? Theorycrafting new ideas and expanding your thought process? If not, then breakeven/losing seems like reason enough to quit, i mean afterall you're just lighting money on fire at this point. But if you are trying any of the above, whether you lose or not I'd never quit. |
