To your 1st Question)

Nah I dont think so but im Not sure..

2) Is gambling affecting me from Finding Friends?

In some Degree it does affect me. I have less Time also Meaning less Time for Friends But also I like to Gamble BECAUSE I have no Friends.

It was Never like I Had a Lot of Friends or lost a Lot of Friends due to gambling. More like a Lot of boredom that Drove me to Play because I have no Friends and generally am more riskfriendly.
Ugh… I think so many factors Play a role.

3) what do I expect to get from Here or what was I expecting When coming Here?

First I wanted to have someone to Talk about my Loss who is neutral (!)
Then I wanted to gain Knowledge by coming Here (Why do I have such a Strong desire to Gamble Sometimes? What are The Most effective ways to avoid this Strong desire to Gamble?)

So yea I’m still Looking for Nice strategies that help my mind to be more Balanced and in The end don’t Gamble!

And I have my own Definition of gambling 😉

[HappaTheSmall2]

Gambling already took everything from me. My Money, my Time, my Friends, my School I even sold my Soul and my nerves.

This is already such a High Price that I won’t just Quit it.
Do you guys understand?

I know you call that sunk Costs but there is a Barrier in my mind that doesn’t want to give up all my efforts.

I’m Not dumb I know that.

The Thing with Poker is Similiar to Lets say blackjack I think Thats a Nice example.

In Blackjack you should Hit with a 12 Against a Ten of The Dealer.
Also you should stand with a hard 12 Against a 6.
Lets say someone Plays The Game and doesn’t know This Basic Strategy. He will lose more than someone that Knows this Strategy.

Same with Poker.

You can go all-in with The worst Starting Hand which is 7-2 offsuit but that move has a more negative expectation than just playing normal.

Noone does this 7-2 Stuff.
One mistake many People do is they fold (Pass, Throw away) their Hand too often.

I dont want to go in too much into Details but basically you Hit a pair or better in like 1/3 of The Times which Means you have Ace High or Worse 2/3 of The Time.

There are Players that just play on The Flop When they have a pair. Thats The Thing with poker.

This style that player does, it doesn’t mean that it is gambling.

But if he keeps doing that then someone Could abuse this player like this: Bet every Flop, he will fold 2/3 of The Time so Choose a small betsize (it has to work less often)

However if this player was Facing Even Worse Players he Could Easily be a Winner and live in The Dream that he knew how to Play This Game.

Poker is a Zero Sum Game which is Not Played Against The casino. But they Charge a Fee for Every Pot that is bigger than 20c or so which is 5%.

So if you make that Edge that The Casinos have on you up by playing better than your opponents you Could win.

But on The flipside it Means that The losers of poker lose really Big because they are paying The House AND also The better Players.

So Poker is really The worst Game you Could Play if you’re losing at it and if you play High Your Money is gone so fast you can’t Even Look That fast.

I have one Idea that just came up to my mind that might help you.

My idea is that maybe you just Try so many Things like Working, Sport, doing some activities like idk that you are so exhausted every evening that you just want to go to sleep!? Maybe that works?

And to your Question Petrol or Gambling: I think you should First Buy all The Things you REALLY Need and then Decide what useful Thing you can do with The remaining money.

Gambling has a negative Expectation like we probably all know somewhere in our minds. This essentially Means that every Big win will be “covered” by Losses that even exceed that Amount we won.

That’s True if we Keep playing and The Law of Large Numbers Applies.

But I think that is The difference between a “controlled” Person (a person that can control his gambling (The Money and Time he spends)) and a Gambler.

We just Cant stop to Gamble!

This Means just to be clear that our “Big Wins” are just a Vision of a Future where we end up as a Winner.
But this Vision is really near-sighted.
In Fact a gambler won’t stop to Play and he will play until every Dollar is gone.

So maybe think of every Amount of Money That you Could win like an Amount that you Could lose gambling?

Maybe we should think of our Future a Little Bit more.
The Casinos are just deceiving us with their “Jackpots”, their Special offers and what Not.

In Reality Everyone loses in The end so why bother?

Do we really wanna get Old sit then at The table with our Kids and respond When they Ask about our past: “I have Spent 30 years of my Life gambling”

I think The Life is too Sweet to Throw it away like that.
And it’s all easier Said than done I know that from personal experience but everything is possible just Start with small steps.

And get The Idea of The Big win Out of your Head. That’s what The Casinos want. And in The end of The Year they are counting The Bills…our Bills ;-(…

I have The Dream to become a Professional Poker Player, I Always put my heartblood into it and I will Never let my Dream and poker go.

Poker is Not a Game for me it Means Freedom to me :(..

Everyone Here who tells me to stop gambling Could be right but I am really desperate and hopeless without my poker.

What Else should I do then Play and win Money?

Got no Friends, no job, no Hope…

Really U See I can’t stop because this is my Life.
However what I Try is being more Responsible and so far (The Last 3 days) I suceeded in Responsible Gaming.

Maybe I can Gamble in a controlled Fashion…. Maybe no1 can do this but me? Maybe I am Special?

Could this be?

[HappaTheSmall2]

It is interesting that me too I am too obsessed about everything :O

[HappaTheSmall2]

Today I gambled Poker again but it went really well.

I didn’t get too emotional and didn’t Feel The desire to Play higher stakes than I can afford.

Just in Case I restricted my account to a certain Stake Level that I can’t cross. If I want to Set The Maximum Stake Level it Would Take 24 hours until it gets approved.

So probably I will lose my Money Soon because Im compulsive but I will Try atleast to stay disciplined.

Maybe if I get in The Mood to Play Stakes I can’t afford I will change my Maximum Stake Limit.

But then maybe I Write Here and you have some Helpful words for me that will stop me from doing Bad Things in terms of gambling.

I am really Aware that there is a Problem.

For example When I Try to sleep it is really Hard After gambling.

I want to do Something about it but I dont know WHAT to do ;(

Actually it is Easy for me to stop gambling but then I can’t generate a Nice income by it.

I really want The Money but I am Surfering obviously due to gambling… but also want to making some Money (atm I Could make 100$/Month).

I think its immoral to value Money Over my Personal Health but its legit because I think without Money I am Not worth anything.

Being Good or Having a Nice Charakter trait is a Nice Thing.
But you Gotta think about The Money too. 😐

[HappaTheSmall2]

Okay I have 16 “Yes”. But something are really in The past and dont reflect The Actually Situation.

[HappaTheSmall2]

I am also very ambitious.

For me The 2nd Place is Not acceptable and I ALWAYS wanted and Always want and Always WILL want to be The best at everything.

I am very ambitious.

I dont know if a win at a world championship Would Satisfy me but it might well Idk but that is my Dream.

Being The World Champion at anything.

I also Cant Deal well with stress. v.v
