Since there isn't really a GENERAL poker discussion forum, I figured I'd post this here since I play in micro stakes.

I have an Organic Chemistry test tomorrow (possibly the hardest subject EVER!) and while studying, all I can think about is playing poker. It's quite the diversion. I figured, to help get my mind off playing poker, I'd exclude myself from being able to play poker for 24 hours. This way, I can't even think of the option of playing poker and I'll be more focused on my studies.

Have you ever excluded yourself from playing poker to finish a project, study, or take care of some sort of errand? Or maybe you felt you were losing money out of control and you had to use this to control yourself (even though that would make this thread a bit more serious).

P.S. I find it a little funny that I am trying not to think about poker while studying yet I am here posting on the FTR forums.

This thread isn't really a newbie question...it's just simply something I thought would be cool to discuss!
