The rules of self-exclusion

[I Live Poker]

Oh my! Thanks Cardschat! For the option to ignore messages, I didn't know about this feature. Very useful, I'm going to do a clean-up and keep only the ones that add some value.

There are no poker professionals, only marketing professionals.

Sure there are many "Pros" that rely on marketing but there are also pure Poker pros.

Like for example Linus Lölinger. That's a pure poker pro no matter how u want to twist it. And there are many more up untill down to midstakes, sometimes even micros 🥲

Others might rely on staking but they are still pros if they can make a living playing.

There are Facts and there is personal perception.

Dude, you didn't even read the post. What are you talking about? I've never had multiple fake names on multiple accounts. And I've never cheated. I've also never lost money or lost accounts because of it, because I've never done it. And I'm the one who needs help from a psychiatrist. Don't bother me, man, go bark somewhere else. Get out of here, you rabid dog. Find another idiot to vent your negativity.

So you call me an idiot 😂 Did you think of Dostojevskijs novel The Idiot. I’m flattered.
You also call me a rabid dog! Did you think of Pink Floyd’s track Dogs from the Animals album. I’m even more flattered.
Since you made a self exclusion from real money sites, there’s still hope. You could embark on playmoney sites. I hear that these sites are a pond of non thinking calling stations. You can excell at the playmoneys. Be the Top Gun. Good luck old chap.

Yes, that's true. I would like to meet someone who lives solely and exclusively from poker, without any extra income, revenue or business. But I believe it is possible. Live. However, he is well-known, you know him, and I found him easily on Google, keeping him on a website generates indirect marketing, it must also generate a lot of rake.
But I believe that there may be cases, yes, that we do not know about, of poker players who manage to support themselves and live off the income from their investments. But in any case, there are still no professionals, poker is not a profession, marketing is.

“Poker is not a profession, marketing is,” Weird and untrue. Have you heard of Negreanu, Ivey, Antonius etc. They have all won plus $50 millions. There are hundreds of pros. Of course not you since you in desperation after bleeding hard cash 💰 made the sound decision of excluding yourself. So your logic is: I can’t win - let alone go pro. Therefore nobody can.
Get real bro. And good luck at the playmoney tables.

Some time ago I excluded all my main poker rooms, due to indignation with the nature of poker, together with the security flaws disclosed and proven by users, as well as some other flaws presented even by the rooms (which is much more honest).
So somehow the sum of everything led me to take this impulsive action. However, poker has never caused me any financial harm, nor even to my mental or physical health (lucky me). Quite the contrary, I developed intellectually, learned a lot more about English, to be able to better understand poker slang, and communicate with the global poker community, especially here on cardschat.
Now, 7 months later, I have been checking what I could do to play, and in most rooms there is no reversal, even though it states that the self-exclusion is for an "indefinite period". Except for PokerStars, which has a minimum period of 1 year to reactivate the account, and also at Party Poker, which I managed to explain and reopen my account a short time ago. The rest: 888poker, GGpoker, ACR and WPTglobal were unable to reopen.
Do the self-exclusion rules vary?
What defines whether an activity is healthy or not for a person?
What kind of protection is this that the person activates themselves?
This sounds like: "I need help!!! Pause; Just a minute and I'll save myself!"

Is there some kind of resentment on the part of the rooms in this bureaucratic issue of reactivation, or is it just a lack of human communication and common sense?

Good for addicts and compulsive gamblers

You probably did the right thing, judging from your posts you don't have the mental make up for long term success in poker.

Also like half my friends play poker for a living.

No, right? But I have something much better.

I have never understood these impulsive actions of asking for your account to be closed or indefinite self exclusion. If you dont want to play somewhere for whatever reason, then you can just withdraw all your funds and not deposit again. The only reason to do more than this would be, if you are afraid, you might change your mind and make a new deposit to start playing again.

And this is exactly why, these decisions are not easily reversed. Because just like a sober alcoholic might fall into the pond again, the same is also true for people with serious gambling problems. But now done is done, and I think, you should consider yourself lucky, you were able to reopen at least one account. So for now maybe just play there. Its not really that important to play on several different sites anyway.

As for when an activity is unhealthy for a person, I would say, when it affect other parts of your live in a negative way. If you spend so much time playing poker freerolls, that it negatively affect your work, your study, your sleep or your relationship in a serious way, then thats unhealthy, even though it does not cost you any money.

it's because 'it's rigged' don't ya know.

You don't seem to be very knowledgeable about poker. Perhaps you're basing it solely off of your own experience?

This topic is being very useful to me, you have no idea how much you are helping me, and I am not being ironic this time.
