So, I guess despite my best efforts, I was just too feeble-minded and simply not cut out to play poker afterall.

The end, I guess.
You are gonna be obsessed with something for weeks, making 600 or so posts along with it, not take anyones advice about anything, and just quit?

That really sucks. You're too feeble minded? Look at some of us! There are some fuckin serious dimwits here at FTR who are raking in mounds of cash. I can't even lay down an overpair and I still have managed to make 3 grand in two months.

You aren't feeble minded. You are weak, and you lack discipline and humility.

You are in one of the final phases of the newb circle of death (the one most newbs never leave, unless they quit), and I pity you because I was there once too.

When I got pokertracker, I had been playing for a couple of months. I imported all of my hands since I had started and it was awful. I was playin 35 percent of hands, I didn't use position, I couldn't lay hands down, and I slowplayed EVERYTHING. But I was like you and I thought "hey, I've read Phil Hellmuth's Play Poker Like the Pros, I can beat this game. And I promptly lost my initial 200 dollars.

I am disappointed.
