Sigh, back to 5/10 after chilling at the big leagues. Gonna make 30k or so then go back.

big league trip report?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ran hot at 5/10, then moved up to 10/20 and won 100k in about a month, moved up to 25/50 where RBK coached me and took half my action, won more there, decided to play a session with 100% of myself and lost $30k, then played more 25/50 (including some PLO) with RBK taking half my action and ran insanely bad.

We were both really determined to get it back so last week we were pretty much playing nonstop, I shipped him money and took 50% of his action while I was sleeping and played while he was sleeping but we just continued to run like complete dog [censored]. Not gonna claim either of us has a HUGE edge in the 25/50 games (though certainly we have something of an edge given that those games almost seem softer than the 10/20) but we ran worse than I've ever seen. Also not gonna claim we always played optimally, but I think we were both in the zone and playing very well. I would say about 75% of the time we played a big pot we got our money in good. On the last day we lost about $50k total and I decided to move back down to 10/20 and grind my way back up. Played a lot of HU (probably not the best idea) and ran bad there as well as getting continually coolered and sucked out on in 6m. Lost about 16k. Played again over this weekend and lost about 16k more.

Pretty gross and in all honesty I feel like quitting but I'm going to see what a two week break does for me.

PS: to all you reading this with sadistic glee at my misfortune (which, I won't lie, is how I read most downswing posts) I still have a pretty fat roll and probably will be back in no time crushing.

So did this whole debacle end up you being back at where you were before you started playing 10/20, or even worse?

nah, still got 6 figs, gonna play 5/10. I'm actually up a lot still from the debacle. I think I have more money now than I had 3 weeks ago and I have improved a TON.

Played 4k hands today. Wow, I'm ready to kill myself. Played sooo bad for at LEAST 50% of it. Ended breakeven. It's a [censored] miracle. You're all welcome for my throwing chips all over the tables.

YoungHov sits, the pathetic fuckiin loser he is, berates me for a while, yaya. I challenge him to higher stacks he ofcourse declines bc he has no fkin balls. Then since he runs so bad he wins the flip. Plays 5 more hands then leaves, lol.

Do you think 25/50 FR on Stars might be slightly easier than 10/20 6-max on Stars? I have long thought it might be possible, namely because the Stars 10/20 looks so nightmarish..
