I wish I could say the swings get easier but they don't.

Yea, definitely. That's part of my burnout is I'm just freaking tired of weathering the storms. I'd love to think as I get better I'd overcome my "inconsistency". The reality is poker is an inconsistent game no matter what your skill level.

Being a competitive person and a perfectionist, my success in most areas of my life are due to discipline and consistency. Poker really thwarts the need to see immediate results from disciplined effort.

That sounds like me and my situation PRECISELY. Through all things in life, I have worked hard and have been rewarded. From saving for a home, to martial arts, to my career - I have always advanced and accomplished my goals, through working hard being competitive. It's taking some getting used to, to have my hard work (ie: patience, making correct plays, reading many books, thinking about the game and studying it) NOT rewarded for it. It makes you feel like an ASS for wasting hours of your life reading SSHE, when this other tool next to you has never read a poker book in his life, yet he is consistently pulling in pot after pot, with his rivered flushes and gutshots.

One comment said it all:
I call a raise with 77
Board is very non-threatening with only one over to my sevens, so I bet, and calls.
Turn is another 7 of hearts, making my set, betting is capped.
River is a a third heart, and Villian shows K6s (hearts) for the rivered flush.

So after the hand, he says:
“Fold next time, assh*le”

A few hands later, I make the ONE decent hand of the night, and he raises some of my bets and we show down and I win the hand. I say:
“Keep calling my bets next time, assh*le”

The point is, he made the big hand, then tried to tell me to fold. Why the F would you tell someone to “fold next time” when you hold a monster?? Just showed his cluelessness and made me that more frustrated in not being able to take his stack.

Get the sand out of your vagina and go write your cultural studies thesis on the 'Moneymaker effect' far away from this forum.

Spoken like someone whose got 6000+ posts in one year. I'll get the 'sand out' when you get out of the house and get a life. I've been playing poker for longer than you've been alive and I make more without playing 300 tables at once. And if you don't believe me you can pm me and I'll show you articles.

ok I deleted my post cause it was a bit harsh

but still you are spamming the forum with this stuff

[swings100]

I'm not spamming anything. The fact is forums are retarded now, there's hardly anything meaningful ever written. I'm beyond sick of hearing about the moneymaker college wannabes. Can you honestly say you aren't sick of them?

you don't play for a living, do what you want with the money. Keep it fun, there's no point in stressing yourself over it. Downswings are part of the game, learn from them. Relax or you'll end up like swings100...and one day blood might shoot out your ears.
