SSNL [cheese] thread: SEPT #2

[MortenTA]

wow. I actually played some poker today and didn't feel totally burnt out. Haven't played more than a few thousand hands in the last three months. Hopefully this is the start of my return to online poker.

I played 114 hands on two tables [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] no need to overdo it

useless graph below..

What happened Morten? How did you get burnt out? How many hands do you usualy play?

Shizzle, STOP MISINTERPRETING STATS

You're making about 20 posts a day in this thread that go like:

"This fkin guy's <stat x> is <value y> and now this <insert unconverted HH> and I can't fkin win from these guys".

That someone's stat is a certain value DOESNT MEAN HIS HAND SHOULD BE ALWAYS WORSE THAN YOURS. Please, stop it.

Lol and I hadn't even read your last post yet

I just gradually got tired of the whole pokerthing ( playing and forum ) during May and June. Mainly because of a 50K hands breakeven stretch which im not out of yet.

Burnt out might be the wrong word to use since I was only playing ~20k hands a month, but including the time spend browsing these forums, it ment an insane amount of time in my everyday( I have a full time job and a girlfriend ). It got to the point where 2p2 was the first thing I checked in the morning and the last thing I checked before sleeping.

When a thing that takes up so much of your time seems pointless ( breakeven/downswing ) you get to the point where you are close to hating it. I never really got to that point, because I had the sense to quit when I didn't enjoy studying and playing poker anymore. This is probably why im hopefully able to play again now. Im pretty sure that if I hadn't taken a few months off, I would have gotten to the point where I never would have enjoyed playing poker again. I will never again spend as much time on the forums as I did in the spring of 2007. It might work for some people but not for me.

I began my break from poker in the beginning of July. At first I decided to take a months break. In the beginning of August I tried again and just didn't feel like playing. This ment another months break and here I am. This is my first session for quite a while and it felt good. I hope that it will continue that way.

Afterall - I do enjoy the game and hopefully it will be a part of my life for quite some time. But as everything else in life - if the price is to high I will quit and don't look back.

But for now - IM BACK [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i was pretty sick by that board, but i didnt think i was ever behind given my reads on the guy. He would have raised a J sooner, i was worried about a K a little bit though (KQ,AK were kinda possible). Villain didnt even seem that bad. (although is the reason im at the table) "I have T high!" lol

blargh, the end of summer and back to uni tomorrow

I set myself the goal of going from 25NL to 400NL which i've achieved so pretty happy about that. I lost all my hands from june which were pretty much all uNL and that's why they're not on the graph






i ran slightly bad aswell but nothing to write home about
