TWP
I think you play very good, and you won't have any problem in rebuilding at 2/4 and 3/6.
Maybe at higher levels I guess (please just take it as my thought, I mean no offence) Stars is very tough and lots of good regs can adjust to your style, so you should mix it up a bit.

But no way you can't beat 2/4 and 3/6 donkeys; just put the necessary hands in; it sucks to rebuild in 3 months what you lost in a week, but I'm doing it right now just like you, so I clearly understand what you said about those idiots.
You' ll be back soon at higher levels for sure, but if you choose to try another job, I don't know what to say cause I've never been a fulltime pro and probably I'll never be; I just can tell you that (as you stated in other threads) there are lots of cool jobs to do out there, I guess you're young enough to try.

Thanks, man. I was never really pro. I was always a management consultant, and I'm going back to that on Friday. I just took three months off to relax for vacation. Take it easy, dude.

If you're unwilling to move down stakes when running bad/poorly or change something about your game, then you deserve to lose it all then.

PS: Those beats, were not all that bad, those are a daily occurrence for many of us at all ranges of stakes, deal with it, it's poker and you should know that.

my suggestion...withdraw a few thousand from your account and go on a nice cruise for a week or two or something...

What do you think of villain in hand 6?

He shouldn't call reraises with ATo even if he CAN stack KK when he flops an ace.

I think the correct answer was "villain leveled the [censored] out of me"

Chill man, the KK hand and half the hands below it were not played well by you. You're right about the stacking yourself part, though

Guys I guess you shouldn't berate someone watching barely some HHs...
You don't know the flow, the infos and the table history that led TWP to those light calls.
Basically he's proved he's not a donk in the past, so maybe he could have been tilting, but he clearly has skills and deserves credit.
