Self Destruction · Breaking The Cycle

Self Destruction

Hi my name is Landon, I’m 27 years old. I am a poker player trying to break the cycle. From the time I was 19 to current day, I have been playing poker regularly and grinded my way from 1/2 all the way up to 25/50 stakes playing mostly NLHE and branched out to PLO over the past couple years. Through my poker career, I had been pretty disciplined until the past couple years. Took a trip to Vegas with some friends that didn’t play poker and ended up playing blackjack with them one night. Ended up playing for 5 days straight with only sleeping less than 10 hours over that span. That was the start of the end. Instead of playing poker, I started torching it all in the pits. Online mostly. Even started playing games I didn’t have the bankroll for. Spending so much time in the pits, I have let my poker game go to an extent and don’t have the edge I once had in some of the bigger games. I want to get back to being a disciplined player and loving the game like I once did. Today is day 1 for me. Hoping this group will help encourage me to break the cycle and get back there.
