My BAN is almost up at FTP

[area206]

5 1/2 months ago I self excluded my self from FTP, because I kept losing money and was depositing a lot. I went for the max 6 months and soon I will get to finally play at the site again. 6 months is a long time considering that I was playing there everyday until I banned myself. Hopefully my luck will turn around when my ban is lifted on Oct.2nd.

This ban has also got me playing elsewhere like absolute, cake, and carbon. Every site is going to be different but playing elsewhere made me realize that FTP is the main site I want to play at.

Anyone else decided to ban themselves off a poker site??? I'd say its pretty hard.

has to be one of the more stranger forms of self dicipline I have heard of,, but if it works for you and it keeps you playing well then i say cool go for it!! I have only done that after a bad beat I tell myself I am not playing there anymore today but never for six months!! hope that plan works out in your favor!!

I can understand how it sounds strange. At the time I put the BAN on FTP I was depositing $200 at a time and would lose it playing $5-10 limit. Losing on bad beats and river cards. I tell you that people play the same at high limits then they are playing $.25-.50. Just a whole bunch of donks I tell you. So I banned myself out of anger and frustration w/ the bad luck I was getting at FTP.

I got banned from Carbon last week.

Im banned from Stars too.

None of those by choice...

(Once for being drunk and.... no mroe comments)
(Once for dumping cash)

umm if your depsoiting only 200 and playing 5-10 limit your asking to get busted. u should have played by bank roll rules. i would have shot myself if i was doing that let alone ban myself. u should have stayed in the lower limits maybe even micro.

That is how it started playing in lower limit fields and just playing tournaments and sit-n-gos... I finally built enough money to play in the larger fields. I ended up going on a winning streak. Then on one night my chips started depleting and I could not hit anything. If i did hit I would lose on some donk hand. It was just a frustrating night. When I was depositing $200 at a time I was trying to get back all the money that I did lose. I was not in a mode of patience and was just concentrating on getting even in the fastest way possible. Not a good idea by the way.

For discussion on the play in Fixed Limit games of this nature...

Im sure NDN can give some advice on how its done.

Trust me, it looks mad, but its pretty advanced stuff at times.

That, my friend, is called TILT. Hopefully more can learn from your mistakes, which would help make it less of a mistake. Thanks for sharing.
