dude just go back to midstakes for a while, i had a 180k downswing in october and i'm grinding it back up..... once you hit high stakes, nothing can go wrong as long as you keep a good bankroll management.....
800$/week is no big deal at all buddy
Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy

you idiot
be glad you can beat 5/10, now go down and destroy 2/4 until you have a bankroll.
what the fuck is your problem? if you don't have money stop spending. don't go off getting $600 haircuts and whatever the fuck you do. do that when you have a roll.
right now you don't have the money and with your skills you can destroy midstakes. what the fuck is the problem?
take this advice to heart.

Don't know how much this means to you, but as one of my LP idols I have faith that you can come back. I'm not in a position to give any advice or anything but hang in there.

stand on your own feet imo,it's good for character.
I'm in no position to give awesome tips to someone who's made so much money through poker but I believe rebuilding is good for the mentality/getting more serious about poker-bankroll management, instead of falling back to getting a stake for ego purposes ('I can't play midstakes again' attitude etc)
new shit has come to light... a-and... shit! man...

Yeah maybe you needed that reality check so you stop throwing money out the window but you're still a huge winning player and a heck of a talented poker player no doubt. Grind nl400 and harvest huge money then go back to nl1k when you're properly rolled imo.
Odds are exactly 50%, either happens or it doesnt

It's going to be ok. You've grinded up from NL400 before, you can do it again.
Obviously you're in a horrible mental state right now. Take a break from poker and do something that makes you feel good. Have fun. And go sell some unnecessary shit (put the gym bag on ebay) so that you feel a bit more secure in terms of cash. And once you feel mentally stable again, start regrinding from NL400. Don't let your ego mess you up. The idea that you can't play below 25/50 is BS and only going to lead to you busting your role. Take a break, come back and play lower stakes and rebuild. You'll be fine.

poker is a lot of stress, you should probably look into handling it better if you plan on playing for a long time

Also renting a place for 3.2k a month is a huge spew if you ask me, but it's maybe because im a sick greedy mother fucker

Honestly just be thankful that you CAN beat 5/10, and just move down for a while to 2/4 or 3/6. Get your confidence back up and then go back and crush 5/10.

Dude keep being a hero balla, you don't want to be boring like ket, or 'fun hating' tom!
Who cares if they are rich and successful, just keep balling out of control, and hope the drink and drugs get you before you run out of cash

ffs you cannot say i lived there. TOM lived there, i rented temporarily for 1 month as a favour to a friend who needed to move out early. my house is pretty nice imo!
anyhou sorry to hear fazi. i can give you some advice on what you should do over the next couple months or so, if u want to meet for lunch this morning and get some sushi let me know before 11:30 latest to meet at 12. otherwise i'll contact you when i bust the donkament. DONT PLAY A SINGLE HAND OF POKER IN THE NEXT WEEK, FORCE YOURSELF TO TAKE A WEEK OFF.

I've got one that hasn't been suggested yet... EXERCISE ! go, spend some time in a gym/ have an hour swim in a local pool. I'm a roller-coaster type of player myself and this very option has always helped me to get back on track. Get an arm strap for your I-pod, slap on some good positive music on & go for it. It's not easy to start... but once U get into it... it's fkin' worth it!
Sure drinking helps from now and then (& like Baal said it makes life bearable sometimes. I like to enjoy a drink & I agree to some extend... BUT it's NEVER a definite solution to a problem....
// get a punching bad/ treadmill -> anything helps.
