today and cant wait till this evening as home game night is upon me, cant wait to play as feeling confident and is a good chance to catch up with friends, all my winnings(i am confident) will be going towards the apat wcoap events.
before the home game i have to do a couple of mot"s, a service and front to rear brake pipes on a bmw(it involves the removal of the propshaft, exhaust, tank and then the messy brake pipes), this day is going to be a long day ahead of me so better get on with it. sigh

blooming home game, i felt like i was the fish, had aces cracked after i get my friends chips in and he rivers his gutshot, jacks vs a5 and he makes a set of fives and a very short stack shove with q9 suited got called by q10 and his 10 played. i feel that im playing well and judging where i am really well but when it comes to the crunch the other players have to get really lucky to beat me. not the confidence boost i was looking for this evening. as may is going to be soon upon us and im not playing much after May it would be nice to go out on a high note, not piss my bankroll away.
ive got a pub poker league regional on march 8th so hope the form comes around by then. would be nice to earn a trophy for my new mantlepiece

today was just the last straw, i cannot win a pot with the best hand or trying to suck out, i am now playing bad poker and just had enough. i have been thinking about quitting the game and today was the last nail in the coffin. i am taking a permenant break from the game as it is affecting my life at the moment, im taking my frustration out on the people so close to me and they dont deserve that.
so here it is:

This is a real shame Ant. But if you cant take the sickness of this game and it affects those close to you then your decision is probably for the best in the long run.
I do predict, however, that as you get older, you will be able to gain more of a sense of perspective and remember why you fell in love with the game in the first place.
Good luck and hope to see you at the tables in the future
rubertoe:
A change is good as rest - but swinebag is right - if it is starting to affect your life away from the tables - then it is definatly time to take a break.
Go away - Dont do anything poker related and then re-assess wher you are in 3 months - if your happier with out poker then you have found your answer!
Good Luck Ant!!
