So I decide to start taking this poker thing seriously. I'll get a coach, start posting on 2+2 and move up to 100nl after beating 50nl for 5 months.

Oh wait but first I'll cash out a chunk of my roll. I know I'll just drop down to 25nl and really crush that for a while to get my roll back up. Now I play 500 hands a day and feel sick to my stomach and can't play anymore than that. Mostly 2 outers and 4 outers.

Play more hands and it will feel a lot less frustrating. I'd say shoot for 1k-2k a day.
That's usually enough to balance out some of the ugly stuff.
That or go on really bad losing sessions [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
[because we all know that the 5BI+ winning sessions are pure skill ;P]

Yeah I usually play 1k-3k hands but this 10 buy under expected value comes after 20k 1ptbb at 25nl where I've been given 10-15 buyins I never would have been given at 50nl. And after beating 50nl for 5ptbb over 50k hands, 150k lifetime. I'm beginning to see what a downswing really is. I feel literally sick at the end of a session and can't put in more hands. Thank god I moved down for it. It's even made me start to get timid like that ak hand above.

[terrible]

playing good, running better. what the [censored]?



and btw breakeven for 3k hands is pretty standard for the douchebag who's about to chime in with LOL UR NOT EVEN A WINNER IN SKLANSKY BUX whereas running like 10 buyins below expectation in 3k hands is [censored] [censored]

oh and yes this is my entire september i've played like 1k hands on ipoker too haha

edit: lol ama i have you CRUSHED =}. every whine post i read from you i can totally relate to right now.

The beat itself is standard but you gotta LOL at how expertly I got outplayed on every street. If I ever did something like this with KK I am guessing it wouldn't work

So I dropped 2k between the end of last month and the beginning of this month - I feel like I'm playing good.. but I'm just not. I'm bluffing at bad times against nits and I just suck. I cashed out all but 750 in hopes of running good/bustoing. Just sick of poker and all the [censored] it's putting me through.

[Everlong]

play mtt:s dude. that's what you did last time right? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I recognize the scenario though - I dropped 1.7K my 3rd week at NL100 in one all-nighter session. Cashed out everything but rakeback after that. This was like may/june. It sucked soo bad. But you'll be back. I've rebuilt twice since (and tilted and cashed out lol)

Tried that, I'm 0/7 in my last few MTTs including busting out on first hand in the last two MTTs. I also went 1/12 in a set of 6.50 SNGs. I'm convinced I'll never win again.
