[Closed] Should I quit playing poker???

I'm in a downswing for 2 months (about 40k hands) and it still goes on.

What can I say? Forget the results, focus on decisions blablabla. Play and improve until you go broke or start winning again. Follow BRM of course.

edit: And of course you can quit if you want to.

I'm not going to bother reading, but what I suggest is;

Quit. Poker sucks out your soul and only 5% of players are actually winners, hence you are probably not one of those people. ♠_biggrin:

There you go, your reaction to what I just wrote should help you realise what it is you actually want to do;

If you read that and thought "FO, who does this guy think he is, I can continue playing If I want to" then you should continue playing.

If however you read that and thought "Oh yea, I really do want to quit" then you have your answer.

Let me know if this helps

p.s. Don't forget you can continue playing poker less seriously just for fun at lower stakes or whatever, just follow a BRM so that you don't go bust or only allocate a small amount to play with from now on.

Ok, now I read your post. You don't have to quit just try a different game. There are plenty out there.

- NL BSS FR SH and HU
- FL
- PLO
- Omaha o8
- Sng's
- MTT's
- Stud Variations
- 7-Game Horse etc

Just cannot see the light here and it feels like everything turned out against me.

Most dramatic tilt post ever lol..

but real talk if you had to move from nl50 to nl10 your BRM sounds kinda stupid...

I lost 150$ within last 10 days.

loosing 5bi's is nothing... really..

and it looks like your probably overplaying AA, KK, AK and overpairs... not that I know anything about how you play..

You need to determine what poker is for you, a fun game that's become your hobby or a way to make money. If it's about money, you'll experience frustration, anger, disappointment and other negative emotions that come with losing. If you see it as a hobby rather than an objective you force yourself to reach, you'll have more fun just playing. The your objective will no longer be making money, but rather playing the game correctly and making right decisions. Monetary winnings will just be a byproduct of that.

I enjoy playing Modern Warfare 2 and I sometimes get good games, but often I just get my ass handed to me. Nevertheless I enjoy it for its nice features and the fact that I can shoot moving targets with a diverse range of RL weapons. But when I'm playing, I very often see people complaining and getting upset with the game, insulting other players and overall not having a good time whenever they're not doing well according to their standards. I even heard some guy my friend knows kicked his screen off the table because he got fed up with noobtubers constantly killing him. And I can't help but ask myself, why did people like him pay €50 for that game? To spend their time in constant frustration and only enjoy it when they're winning?

I can agree that downswings are very unpleasant no matter how you look at it, but if your goal isn't making money, you can't get disappointed.

Also, I too hate Ongame. I hate it so much...
