ya, i honestly don't understand why people need such over stimulation. i've always done my best at poker by being calm/serene and i can't achieve that state on fucking coffee. green tea is a good alternative, definitely. energy drinks are the worst.

gl night, sounds all pretty shitty.

money is the #1 cause of stress for most people i think, what's not to understand?

Maybe you need something else to balance poker so you dont feel like shit? Eg. start going to the gym and improve results-/body wise or run and see if you can improve lap times (or whatever else you can do that you get to see results from). Or, you're already doing that in which case I can only advise you do bitch less about losing/running bad. Just try do distance yourself from results and play for the fun of it.

gl hf, I hope you turn it around. This year has been nothing but shit to me as well, so I do know how you feel. That doesnt change the fact that it doesnt help you to think about how bad its been.

/same old, same old

haven't been to the gym for a week cuz I've been sick n shit.. its true that probably would of helped a lot

just so stressful.. my fucking full blown schizo uncle was staying with us for a few days and might be coming back today (he may of instantly got kicked out of his new 'home'/hospital).. got family in town.. etc.. idk

this month going the complete opposite of expectation and my bankroll being so fucked on top of it all.. just totally lost my shit today.

anyway.. thanks well-wishers

everything affects everyone differently. i've certainly imbibed substances that have made me retarded emo and moodswingy, others that have made me really focused, others that make me scatterbrained, etc.

if you don't feel right on something then try something else. or just try getting good sleep and playing when you naturally feel focused and confident.

i believe caffeine drinks can have a VERY strong affect on you. they can make you anxious and jittery, even if you dont notice it. i dont like to drink coffee at work recently because of this.

damn dude. prob should just take a short break to compose yourself. im on a downswing for the month as well, realized it was cause i was trying to squeeze in poker between studying times which just led to more stress. gl though hope everythings bounces back up.

you're a smart dude. just play when you're well rested and stop when you aren't and you'll be fine

Its amazing how ignorant people are to how truly great their lives are, the things we stress about are problems others would beg for.

Only thing I dont like is that ALL your lines are going down. Seems to be a frequent issue for you. At the very least use your tilt and make that redline soar. It's like you're just losing in every possible way. Buy in short, shove a lot. Buy in deep, 4bet a lot. Gotta do something man. People laugh at me because I try new things, but wtf isnt that what poker is all about? Adjusting!

Yeah I'd say try to lower your cortisol (i.e. stress hormones) by developing a healthier lifestyle.

I think you might find this lecture interesting if you're into bettering your quality of life and stuff:

Meh I think that's a dumb argument. Obviously we have better lives than starving kids in Africa but that doesn't abolish us the right to complain once in a while. It's all about your own standard of living and is pretty much connected to human greed. We always want a better life, no matter how good it gets.

You + JoLin below you are missing the point. Everyone stresses its a part of life. I am referring to contemplating suicide over the stress of losing money etc.
