It's just too addictive and too costly.
I've dropped $1000 in the past month.
I consider myself a good player, I usually am the big stack at the tables I play, but somehow I always end up suffering a bad beat, losing a good amount, and then throwing the remainder away on the next couple hands with aggressive bets on anything that looks half decent in some sort of effort to regain my winnings back as fast as possible. However, it always ends in disaster.

I'll start with $50, get up to say... $130, then lose $50, and then in a very short period of time lose another $50, and after that whatever I have left ($30 maybe) I'm just throwing it away with an All In on whatever 2 cards I get. It's the same cycle over and over, I know this is what "tilt" is, I know when I'm tilting, but there's still nothing I can do to prevent it. My emotions always take over.

Also, the site I'm on seems to be rigged pretty bad. They always give you those hands where you THINK you have the nuts, and there's only a couple possible hands that can beat you... and of course someone else is holding it. I'm not talking about straights vs flushes here, I'm talking 4 of a kinds versus full houses. like one I had recently... KKKQQ, and the other guy had QQQQ. It's like there's certain hands they give you purposefully to induce action (so they get a good rake), and you're always having to watch youre back and be careful you're not getting screwed, but in the process you're being careful and you end up letting your opponent catch cards for cheap. And sometimes there's even the players that come in and get all the good hands suddenly, and for the next 50 hands you're not catching anything except 7/2's, etc. It's almost like certain tables and certain players are just unlucky for me.

Not only that, but I was duped from the start. They told me I'd get a $600 bonus for depositing $1000 or something, and I even asked them if there was a catch and they said "No." I gullibly took their word for it, and then learned you have to earn like 1,000,000 points to ever get that $600. It takes me 3 hours in .25 cent blinds just to get a couple hundred points.... so you could imagine how long that takes.

I could also complain about the donks who get lucky when making bad calls with incorrect odds, and other sh1t, but we've all been there, I'm sure.

All of this together (and more) is leading me to believe I should quit. I really love the game (obviously), but I might just stick to play money. However, I don't think I'll ever get the same pleasure from that... so I think I should just quit Poker in general.

Anyone who's had similar experiences can share their story, feel free to try to talk me out of it, or encourage me to quit. I'm open to anything at this point. I'm just a little upset because I got some bills to pay soon... and I'm nearly broke, thanks to Poker.
