W00t! 9th place in the Absolute 3R for $130. Unfortunately went card dead and a huge suck out (had set in a multiway pot, but the running flush had to happen. -_-; lol donkmaments. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] It'd be nice to get a better prize but I suppose I had my fair share of suckouts.

I started playing semi-seriously in november, and have been multitabling lightly and winning fairly consistently on pokerstars. In december I achieved GOLD status (played about 9k hands) and I decided that in the year 2007, I would get to the point where I actually had money for things.

I decided that this month I was going to:
a. Get to platinum status (pokerstars)
b. Make enough to buy a new laptop. 17'' so I can play 12+ tables. My current laptop is an 850 mhz pentium 3 with a 12'' screen (so bad).

I don't go back to school till the 12th, so I figured I could get a TON of hands in before then. On the 1st I was hung over as hell at my friend's house all day, so I started playing on the 2nd.

I ran pretty decently at first, 9-tabling. Usually 6-8 tables of .25/.50 fr, and possibly a multi or a couple tables of .5/1 fr. I'm not used to grinding a ton, but I don't mind it. Eventually I worked my bankroll up to 1800 and cashed $300 out. This was around hand 5700 - see graph.

Then... WTF???? I have been plummeting hardcore since then. I don't know what's going on. I ran really bad at my .5/1 tables and played some .5/1 6-max and ran really awful, but now I feel like my cards are pretty average, and I'm still doing badly.... someone hold me?

Also, I played some PL Omaha and lost $65 there, so I'm down over 10k hands. Someone lift my spirits please. FKIN CASHOUT CURSE!@$!(#U@#$

15 buy in downswing to complete a 30k breakeven stretch here. All you can do is try and stay positive and try not to smash anything. 10k hands of breakeven happens to good players even so don't sweat it. Dont hit the panic button yet and post some hands , get a different point of view.

I think you got owned in the last hand. Villain ain't going nowhere on the 2nd one, but that is a horrible set up, so my condolences, and the first one is pretty sucky too. hang in there.

Is it possible to fix this thread on top of the Micro Stakes
Forum? It's one of the most importand threads and should be fixed on the top.

eigenvalue · #**228** 01-06-2007, 09:03 AM

Sorry, I took the wrong thread. My comment belonged to the uNL Video thread.

SavageMiser · #**229** 01-06-2007, 09:04 AM

Don't count on stickies, just use the favorite thread toggle.

Damn it, why does this site always go down? It's exactly at 11:20 am GMT+1 (=MET), i.e. 5:20 am ET that these forums are unavailable every day. Is the backup kicking in or what? It usually lasts quite long. Like 20 minutes or so. Whole twoplustwo.com isn't responding then. Anyone know anything? And I'm always trying to post a response to something that is then lost. Suxx0rs
