Need to quit

[Guest]

ive just done over 500 quid on gambling within the last week and im really startin to lose it
i know im a really bad player who is the awful compo of loose passive weak post flop and most of all FUKIN UNLUCKY BASTARD
i dont want to play poker anymore but im addicted
i know this thread is depressing but i want to express the internal pain i feel
everyytime i gamble im chasin loses and pressuring myself to win when really my play is hopeless
anyoe else feel that they are carrying on with poker not because they choose to but because there addicted i feel that way
i have no interest in playin good or learnig the game and usin ng huds to help my game get better
im just a degenerate deposting more and more money in my online account like its a slot machine
ill give an example of my play i call an all in for all my chips having jy=ust played for 5 minutes with A5
why i dont know im really fucked in the head and the last thing i should be doing is gambling
but hey its only money right?

Best thing you can do is ban yourself from whatever sites you're playing on. Usually these bans are irreversible. Email the sites/get onto their live support now. Poker is supposed to be about making money or having fun. Seems like you're doing neither. Stick to playing the odd live tournament if you really want to play.

you can contact live support on i poker and request an exclusion on casino, cash games and deposit limits etc

If you do impose limits you will likely just move to another site to accomodate your desires

The problem seems to be you are searching/looking for the quick thrill/win and also getting yourself into the position where you feel the 'sites' are against you and going 'fuck you' shove mode knowing you are likely losing just to prove to yourself that you were right.

You need to step back

I was in same boat for a while and what helped me was setting myself a challenge.

ie. start with $10 say and play freerolls and micros and try and double money or play against another player in a challenge in same game where you have his table up and watch each others play

anything to get away from the reload/ lose / reload circle

cancelling card prob best though

Admitting you have a problem and looking for advice is a good step in the right direction. If really want to do something about it, use the links above and talk to people who have been there. Otherwise you'll end up in a constant shitty cycle and wreck your life. You can ease yourself in by chatting to people online. Gamblers Anonymous Ireland(the first link) host meetings in Dublin. Good luck!
