📝 Struggles & Lessons 📝
Use this section for deeper posts. Break down what happened, why it happened, and what you learned. Don’t just say what went wrong—explain the pattern behind it. Examples: “I was up and gave it all back chasing. I realized I struggle to leave when I’m ahead.” “I keep repeating the same mistake when I’m tired or tilted.” Ask yourself: What triggered it? What was I thinking in the moment? What would I do differently next time? Be honest. No ego. No bullshit. This is where real growth happens.
Plinko Owns Me
I've effectively lost my soul to Plinko... I have a passion for Poker and am quite good at it but ever since ACR added Plinko (with no option of disabling it without banning from poker too) I've lost everything to it. I've probably made 200 deposits where I thought I was gonna lock in and play some poker only to blast it off on Plinko before I get in a single tournament. It's just clockwork compulsion at this point and it's sickly and sad. I honestly don't know what to do because I feel like every cent I scrounge until I win once will go to Plinko even though I NEVER win. Ever. I can't fathom they can legally allow me to play a rigged game I can never win at after begging support on numerous occasions to disable my Plinko section. They say they don't have the capabilities at this time because it's a relatively new feature. Well, I don't have the capability to stop playing the goddamn game and I am at wits end. I get why gamblers kill themselves. I'm furiously enraged most of the time now when I used to be pretty laid back. Happy to have a place to vent at least.
Goals and updates
This is day 3… no update yesterday. Been busy the past couple days at work. Feeling good still, but the first few days are never super challenging. Have been working on my mental state and trying to see the end goal. With it only being day 3, the light at the end of the tunnel is shining bright, but still far away. No shortcuts. Constant reminder I’m trying to give myself. Upcoming weekends will be the hardest times. As far as goals go… I’ve been trying to come up with some. Have some pretty big expenses coming up to pay and not sure exactly how much they will end up being, but I will figure it out and post some more accurate goals. One of my goals if everything plays out how I am thinking is to obviously stay disciplined, and fly out for Wsop, play the mini main and maybe one other event with a 5k bankroll to fire at tournaments. However… if I am not feeling comfortable and trusting in myself being around the pits, I just won’t go. If it doesn’t happen, so be it. I’m not in a rush to get back to the poker table… I’m in a rush to establish discipline in my life and poker will still be there after I do that. Another goal is to have a 40k bankroll by the end of the year and start playing 5/10 again and build back from there. Very reasonable and realistic goal(s) for myself short term and long term. Will continue to update. Hope everyone is doing well.
