I think this needs to be X-Posted. I think it is very true for me, it might be for others I dunno, but I need to post this here so I keep my word and stop trying to be an egotistical bitch and trying to look good for people that I don't know. From now on I am just going to try to improve and play +EV, so x-posted from blog:

Wow, so I just had a revelation about how I think about the game and moving up in stakes.

I realized I had been staying at certain levels to keep my good months, well, good months. Anytime I move up I've been running bad, like my last two days I have dropped 2k in 2/4. But I keep moving down because I want to keep up a good month. But then I realized something: Why? Why do I care if one month is better than the next, or if I have a negative month? I have had many positive months, and that is why I have such a good bankroll. I am well bankrolled for the 2/4 game, and I think I can beat it, then I should be playing 2/4.

Apparently I have an ego problem and I guess I need to show off by showing people I don't even know stupid ass graphs from a "good month." I now am going to play 2/4 when I feel I can beat it and am bankrolled for it, because I have no reason to try to make each month good, my goal is to make it to 5/10+. Doing this will take a lot of down months when I learn new levels and etc. This might even make me seem like a bad player to an outsider when I post crappy graph after crappy graph. All that is going to matter to me from now on is playing in +EV games and trying my best to improve.


Disclaimer: I can do this because I do not rely on money in my poker account. I don't need to cashout basically ever, and unless I lose a good amount I should be able to stay bankrolled for 2/4. I may still have a lot of 1/2 ahead of me because I only want to play higher when I feel confident/etc and there are good games, so this is not a "moving up" post by any means and do not take it like that, simply a post saying I am going to try to stop worrying about results.
