In Response to Re: b/r mess : in fact, most of the time it's a win! (in all but cash earned) i see a bit of the former don in you - has potential - will engage in hand discussions - but allows his bad times to overwhelm his good. the don took a break but is now back with a vengeance you need to find your cure for the emotional beats - could be a break - learning more - changing your game - giving up, whatever. you have potential but you need to find the way to make it work for you.

So true, when your on tilt you dont have an edge on anyone. Thanks tho i liked that comment, i like to think i have potential but its been a very very slow progression lol what tilt is it though cause i read 'the mental game of poker' alot but cant work out what it is. desperation tilt? hate losing tilt?
If you're not winning then that alone is not a reason to quit, as most of us are losing players, but if you're not enjoying it then definitely quit! Posted by NoseyBonk
Yeah but its not nice to lose, we all want to progress futher with our games. Why do you play then, just because you like the game?

Yep, it's a hobby. The same as buying & playing my guitars or doing trackdays in my car.
Losing/not enjoying it isn't neccesserily a reason to quit, most winning players were in your shoes at one time or another.
If/when you start winning the enjoyment might come. If it doesn't, maybe that's the time to quit unless you need to play on purely for financial gain.
Did you ever look in to getting a coach as suggested in your previous thread?
Sound like you can afford it, and that it will be worthwhile.
You're probably at a level (experience and bankroll/stakes wise) where a coach will be really beneficial, maybe the type of student a 'coach' would enjoy working with as you have good understanding already and it's just trying to take it up a level.
Give it a spin for £100 or so, will get you a 4/5 hours and maybe see how you feel after that?
