*sigh* Not that most of you care, but I just feel like bitching because its gotten so bad. I used to be one of the people who were like, omg you people that have these 10 buyin downswings often are so crazy blah blah. I have them like twice a year maybe.
I beat 3/6NL for 8+bb/100 on Stars, I play like 2 hours a day, make a good living, life is great, blah blah. My normal monthly graph looks like this:
About 2 months ago I started getting coached by one of the better online players around. Since then, I cannot play for [censored] and can barely book back to back winning days anymore even when I move down to 1/2NL, and my graph for the last 2 months looks like this:
And for the first time today ever, shorty after I got set over set (for the 5th time in the last 2 weeks and I don't play a lot of hands/day), aifp with QQ vs KQs and lost, and stacked off KK vs a set, I smashed my mouse. I know nobody cares because I don't post a lot and when I do its normally in hand threads giving advice/comments, but I just felt like whining. My hand is bruised from smashing my mouse, and I'm going to take a week off.
gg,
