Default So this is what its like to be a degenerate

I did it again. I even made a post about coming back. I took time off, redeposited for too little, then played underrolled. And its time to admit it: I can't play online well, and its possible that I'm much more a breakeven player live than I am a winning one.

I suppose since I have difficulty getting money on and off of sites I am weary of putting too much on. So, like I do every [censored] time, I deposit 300 or so, play .25/.50, get bored, enter some 10 or 20 dollar nightime tourneys when I go to bed, bust cause I've never run hot playing poker, (ever, like seriously no "for the last 2k hands I've been Midas") and because I suck at tournaments, or I get drunk and play 1/2 with [censored] close to 1/4 of my roll, etc.

Why don't I apply the [censored] lessons I learn, why am I so [censored] impatient, and most importantly, why can't I run hot if human waste like Jamie Gold gets to? I have a friend that is a classic over aggressive dumbass gambler who plays SNGs almost exlusively. He cannot lose. He got second in a 40k guarenteed for 12k, then won a BBJ live for like 4k. Ugh. Plus I play during like all my day free time in between classes, instead of do my HW so I can have my nights free. But nooooo, I have to play [censored] [censored] stakes till 5 in the morning then fall asleep, miss class, then post emo on 2p2.



This is so sad, there are players so much worse than me that still make money. I dunno, if you've seen egocidal at the micros on FT, let me know straight up here if I suck ass. Seeya at the tables when the welfare comes through. I have 1.05 in my account on FT.

Default Re: So this is what its like to be a degenerate

I think plenty of players are there with you. I don't find it a coincidence that I nearly always go bust online; however, make money about as consistently as possible playing live. I am, without a doubt, a very good live cash player. There is some reason why I always get 2-outered deep in online tourneys and never make the big FT (I say big because I've made numerous smaller FTs), and some reason why my insanely good calls in cash games online let the donks catch up to me for the win on the river.

Why do you think everytime someone makes a post about a good month or even a good year online, everyone on this site then chimes in about the inevitably huge downswing that will follow? I'm pretty much done with the online thing. Once I move back north I'm ready to just suck it up and hit the casinos on the weekends. Plus, I'm excited to play the old nits in the PLO8 games rather than the Euros online.

i'm not saying online's rigged or anything, I'm just saying I don't think I have the mindset to play it well consistently.
