Hi all

Well, I have publisized the fact that the last few weeks varience has been very, very unkind to me, so much so that my BR is now only £6.40, and yes that is sticking to the BR rule, so obviously the time has come where I need to take a break from poker (apart from freerolls of course), I still want to carry on with the forum, but, my concern is I am worried that I will be tempted to play again, any ideas anyone please?

    You could select a 24 Hour 'Cool off' every morning perhaps? Seeing as the min self-exclusion is 6 months & that's probably a little longer than you want off (?).

    Failing that just play me HU - I'm running like death so that'll get your BR back up lol.

    I say stick your bankroll on M.Jones of Bury to score in 90mins against Port Vale then when he does you will have £35.20 to spend on poker! :)

    although using that you wouldn't be able to login and therefore wouldn't be able to post on the forum.

    Maybe playing only when you really reallllyyyyy wanna (ie. the temptation is too great to resist) - maybe this will help you - coz ur mindset will be abit different, abit like a freeroll where the pressure is off.

    It's fun at the end of the day innit - so if you really really can't resist, then theres no reason why you shouldn't play.

    Some days I have to force myself to play and get going, (yesterday) and it had a rubbish ending I was well down and in bed by 10pm.

    Im sure this wouldnt have happened if I really wanted to play and couldnt wait to get going.

    I wouldn't force myself to stop Barry if I really wanted to play - you know the score with bankroll management, better than most and certainly better than me, so if your enjoying it theres no reason to stop - and if you arent enjoying it, you wont wanna play anyway so stopping will be easy :)

    GL with whatever you chose to do.

    General query about withdrawing, I only have 1 card on sky, can I add another, and withdraw my entire bankroll onto that card? is that allowed?

    Only play when you really feel up to it.

    If you lose a couple of games in a row then just quit for the day.

    Or set yourself say 3 games/day and space them out so one at lunchtime/afernoon/evening.

    I looked you up barry, seems you make a good profit at the 2 quid mtt games--maybe stick at them for a bit--2.20 deep stacks are good games, and plenty of poker for your money, also the 2.30 bounty hunters are fun, and not too hard to profit in---main thing to remember is not to let your negative variance change your game, keep pluggin----flop another whoppa!!

    You didn't used to be able to - the 'Net deposits' thing stopped you (online) - but it looks like they've altered the withdrawal page a bit, so perhaps you can now. Give it a go? If it doesn't work online then you can definitely get Customer Services to do it :)
