Poker doesn't "make" you anything, it just amplifies what is already there.

As an exercise, try re-writing your original post as an unattached, non-judgmental, outside observer. After reading that back, what advice would you give yourself?

Also, what are you doing to work on your mental game? By your own admission you're losing 2-3 buy-ins per session on pure tilt. Even if that's a massive exaggeration, there is no technical study you can do that will make up that difference. Go all-in on working on your mental game, there it will make all the difference in the world on your long-term results, not to mention your quality of life.

Finally a way for the rest of the world to punt off stacks.
