McGahee i would play 200400 if i had moneyin online poker. now i have to go bac into th work forc. maybne i will deliver piszzas again.

i ran at 31/34 showdnwon numbers over 200 hands at 100/200. -15 bb/100 for a grand total of -6333 or someitnhg. and then i played some 501/00 and 3060 and ran bnad too. 88 lost to QT and AQ on A8T when turn and river came, 9 J. that isjust how i run at online poker, so i guess its kind of a blessing that i finally just lost itall anyway,

Well I am very suprised by all this becuz Ive read many of your posts and I know youre one of the best posters on this forum. So I know the reason you are losing is not becuz of your skill level/lack of knowledge. It has to be something else.

Some ideas that come to my mind that maybe lead to your struggles:

1) Bad table selection. In your T9s post and your AJ post you described two tables I would never play at. This leads me to believe that your table selection is not as good as it should be.

2) Bad site selection: If youre playing 5-10 or below you should not be playing at pokerstars. You should be playing at a site that gives you rakeback. My best friend (thehip41) is down around 300BB's over the last 2 months yet he has still made money due to rakeback and bonuses. I have had many similar bad runs and yet still made money for the same reasons. Rakeback is not just a wonderful financial buffer. It is also a great psycological aid when times are tough.

3) Ego. You may attach too much importance to winning or losing. If winning makes you feel great and losing makes you feel terrible then you may not be about to properly handle the inevitable long losing streaks. To some extent we all this problem but some people manage this human flaw better than others. If losing causes you to tilt or move up limits then it is clear to me that you can improve in this area. When Im losing heavily I usually stop playing for several days or even a week or so and I use that time to remind myself how great life is and then Im ready to play again. If I was mentally stronger I would just play through my losing streaks and make more money at the end of the year but I am not so thats how I adjust.

After saying all this, I hope you never self-destruct again. There is nothing more tragic to me in the poker world than a great player with no money. So I hope you recover and figure out why you let this happen to yourself and never do it again.

I know this is cliche but all that matters in this game is playing well. Winning or losing doesnt matter and BBs/100 dont matter. What Ive learned about limit holdem after playing the last few years is that survival is really all that matters and if you play well, table select well, and have 1000BB's backing you up, you will survive and you will eventually make money.

I disagree. Miles is not in the right mental state to be staked right now. I believe Miles would agree with me also.

Re: haha busto
 

Miles you'll get out of this, you are the best poster besides ILP. I made allot of money without even knowing halve about the game as you do.

Re: haha busto
 

jesus miles. judging by the typing i'd guess you are drunk. drunk + tilt + move up 10x stakes + run bad = busto

sucks if it's true.

p.s. this thread in SSSH makes everyone depressed. this exact same thread in BBV makes everyone happy.

Hmmm.... except that according to my figures, Stars rake costs you 2.3BB/100 at $5/10 while for example Full Tilt costs 2.7BB/100. The Stars games are more numerous and softer, too, so I think Stars beats FTP even with 27% rakeback.

My numbers could be off though. Small sample etc etc.

Other sites may be better of course.

I totally agree with your psychological point, though: getting an actual cash payment mid month takes the edge off a losing streak.

Re: haha busto
 

Thank god

You are a perfect example of 90% of the "pros" out there. You spend hours discussing the best plays on particular hands and then ignore rule #1 - bankroll management and go bust in a matter of hours. LOL People wonder where the dead money comes from at the higher levels...I think this answers it

Good luck finding a job after burning your bridges

Yeah, because of the extra rake, playing at Absolute and Full Tilt is a waste of time. Bonuses at AP are done, rakeback sucks, just stick with poker stars.

I havent seen a reload at AP in ages. The overall value from rb+bonii+vip is not as good as it has been, but I disagree that playing there is a waste of time. The games have gotten a lot better and the vip points are worth more.

BTW UB have been generous with reloads 3 weeks in a row. With their "points for money" promo its definetely the cheapest place to play these days. rb+bonii+vip is close to 2BB/100 at 5/10. Oh, and they have some sort of prop scheme going on with 100% RB

Re: haha busto
 

rofl thanks miles. at hand 9400 I bet you just wanted to win one more pot and get your money back. then it all went to [censored] of course.

ps wow a 9k breakeven stretch is enough to send you into monster tilt? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

2nd that.
What I dont get is why 9K hands of breakeven play triggered this, I mean thats 3-4 days of play. What was also real dumb is playin 1-2 games w/o any previous notes. Not to pour salt on the wound but those games are really aggro, with most the lag tards cr nearly 35 % on all streets. W/O notes and strong reads defintely not a game to sit in short stacked. 80 k later i learned that. In all honesty though you are good enough to beat that game with a roll so you took a shot wutever. I think be traggic to give up you are far too good to do so. IF you gotta learn NL go for it. Maybe you should give wpex a try, just as frustrating but alot more thinking opponents, which you would play very well against. Im still just hopiong u MS painted that poker graph and ur full of (censored).

Re: haha busto
 

Hello Mr. milesdyson. Impressive melt down, sir. Beats my best efforts at bankroll-obliterating self-destruction all to hell. Seems I forgot to move up first. Oh well. I always was a slow learner.

Here's hoping it's drunkern hijinks of one sort or another and not a serious financial hardship.

I'm sure you have no shortage of better options, but if I can ever be of help don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Keep that oft-impressively-whiskered chin up brother. There's always more money to be found, and if movies have taught me anything it's that everyone loves a good redemption story.

I don't know... who plays 5/10 with a 900bb bankroll? That seems a little light to me, although if you run bad to get to the 900bb that makes it easier.

If this is serious, though, it's a shame, Steve. Your advice to me has always been pretty damn solid. It's a shame I'm a slow learner. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

edit: With the games as tough as they are, playing professionally sorta sucks right now. Going back to work probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Just try not to do exactly what you were doing before.
