maybe you should talk to like a shrink or something about your problems!

As bad as you may feel now, apparently that isn't bad enough to make you stay away from fixed limit. Read the last couple of your own blog posts again. You knew exactly what you needed to do, or in this case not do. Neilly has become the resident laughingstock here in your absence. Was your return to show you've outgrown that or did you come back to upstage him? If you can't learn self-control then your skills are worthless, no matter how long you've spent developing them.

But then again i'll just fucking lose it in a 5 minute period at some bullshit highstakes.

I wonder what it's like to not have free will? You should try telling us about it sometime, it would be quite interesting.

Never had a problem with moving up on tilt (I play 18 hour sessions instead), but.....

http://www.overcards.com/wiki/moin.cgi/StakesGuard - StakesGuard, you can set it to block all tables of stakes X from view. Yeah I realize you can turn it off, but at least it will take more effort. It also has some built in features to prevent you from closing it, or so the text says

smoke bud

fuk me xervean!

I have these skills i spent like 2.5 years developing and I can run my 500 up to fucking 10k in 2 months easy so quitting doesnt make sense.

you answered your own question

you cant win, quit now - friendly advice

you have to find a better way of venting man =/ before it comes to this T_T

Serious pursuit of a career in poker is not for everyone you have proven time and time again that you lack the discipline it takes to truly succeed. I recommend you set up a system where you can play just for fun with minimal risk and potential for nice profit.

Example:
1. On the first of each month you deposit $500 U.S. or some other amount you can afford to lose.
2. You set yourself a BR milestone of 3k.
3. If you reach the milestone, you cash down to your original $500 and start again. Rinse, Repeat.

Play poker in your spare time for fun, and enjoy the nice little side profit it gives you and the benefit of the extra cash. You don't have to be a professional poker player and you can play in your spare time and still make a nice chunk of extra spending money with little risk. Part of your problem is that as your BR grows you get more excited and emotional because the money becomes more meaningful to you. The more meaningful the money the more susceptible you are to tilt as anything you lose will hurt more.

Examples:
1. You lose a 200BB deep all-in pot on a suck-out at 25NL and shrug it off, its just $100.
2. You lose the same 200BB pot at 200NL but now its $800 -- The amount tilts you as you feel that loss as much more meaningful. Hence you tilt and do something stupid like play fixed-limit high stakes.

haha, at least you flamed out with style

oh well, start over again! gogogo!

i hate to say it, but this means you don't really know bankroll management. tilt is the point at which it actually becomes important.

I like this idea, great piece of advice!

why dont u keep most of ur poker bankroll out of your account? like on neteller or a seperate bank account or whatever.. and set deposit limits on top of that so that if you do go on sick tilt, which you really shouldn't, there'd be a limit to how much you can piss away

i actually agree it'd be kind of a waste to build up those skills and then not use them but yeah things will be very difficult for you if you have an innate desire to blow all your money in 5 mins at random points

oh my bad i didn't read the thread.. benjamin's advice is great

jesus man you're such a hero. but damn son you need help of some sort ;o.

Wish i could do something to alleviate your tilt. You can use my body if you want.
