nosup4u, all the best in your recovery.

on a side note, i think ive cracked how to beat poker for the long term, i am not willing to share the secret yet, but i am still collecting enough of a sample size (so far only about 400 hands), but, i am certain that it will work.

in fact, i'd like to discuss it with someone, given i have never properly discussed strategey with anyone on this forum individually, i would be interested in discussing my new tactics with 1 person.

so, if anyone is interested in exchanging a few PMs with me about my new strategy, the first person who i recognise as a poster to PM me will be the (mis)fortunate one to discuss my theory with.

i will post again as soon as i receive, if i do, a PM, so you dont waste your time sending a PM.

also, whoever does, by PMing they are agreeing never to divulge this strategy (until i think it is appropriate to change the game of online poker forever and post about it here).

gl.

poly,

get out of the kiddie pool and play 3/6!

[/ QUOTE ]

I play 5/10 every now and then... I just am a huge br nit. for no reason.... my shots are all at like 25/50 plus but then I just feel like i'd have to change my game to beat 5/10 for a good clip, and i'm realllly lazy and content beating 2/4 this easily.

*sigh* Not that most of you care, but I just feel like bitching because its gotten so bad. I used to be one of the people who were like, omg you people that have these 10 buyin downswings often are so crazy blah blah. I have them like twice a year maybe.

I beat 3/6NL for 8+bb/100 on Stars, I play like 2 hours a day, make a good living, life is great, blah blah. My normal monthly graph looks like this:



About 2 months ago I started getting coached by one of the better online players around. Since then, I cannot play for [censored] and can barely book back to back winning days anymore even when I move down to 1/2NL, and my graph for the last 2 months looks like this:



And for the first time today ever, shorty after I got set over set (for the 5th time in the last 2 weeks and I don't play a lot of hands/day), aifp with QQ vs KQs and lost, and stacked off KK vs a set, I smashed my mouse. I know nobody cares because I don't post a lot and when I do its normally in hand threads giving advice/comments, but I just felt like whining. My hand is bruised from smashing my mouse, and I'm going to take a week off.

gg,
Mark

FWIW I think you're the nicest regular. Downswings arent fun.

nobody has PMed so i guess nobody wants their winning game destroyed by my theory.

im off to bed now, but if anyone is interested, i think my inbox has 2 messages left (although it is pretty random) so if you are interested fire me a PM.

gl all.

my last 130k hands (which I guess is a beat that i've played that much in the last few months at 2/4) has been at 6.31 ptbb/100. That's all since may 1st, which is when I reformatted my computer.
