OT - My Drunken Breakdown + a Quest

[Pasterbator]

Well, anyone who played the 2+2 game last night saw this coming from a mile away. I got a couple IMs saying "You should probably stop," but i drunkenly ignored them. Anyway, i had my first drunken donkfest last night, and i threw away 1/4 of my bankroll (AT A 1/2 GAME!!!1!!). And i'll be honest, it doesnt feel good.

Instead of turning this into a personal revelation post, i've decided to turn it into a quest to win it back. I have NEVER been unable to control my bankroll (I took 3-4 months to move up from the $33s to $55s) and i never want to do it again. HOWEVER, I do want to win all that money back - so here is my punishment...

I'm going to play 100 SNGs today. I've never played more than 50 in a day, so it's going to be a challenge. I'm still bankrolled for the $55s, even after my huge blunder, so i'm going to stay there.

I've been playing the regulars, but that would be really tough today, so i'm going to try the speeds. Do people have trouble 9 tabling the speeds? I can 9 table the regs no problem, but with less time to act, i can see it getting tough...

I also might throw in a few MTTs since i suck at those and don't want to win my money back too fast - otherwise i've learned nothing!

I'll update here after every 2 sets or so. Wish me luck. If i go broke, i accept paypal and neteller transfers.

Stay away from my tables,
Jason

You are pathetic. And you wanted me to coach you some day?!

Please change his title to "DRUNKLFOOL".

Good luck. I do think that you should lower the challenge to a number that you can achieve in the regluars though.

Please don't update after every 2 sets, just tell us how it went at the end of 1000 or something. It will clutter the forum like no tomorrow.

And if it gets too much I'll have to start moving them to beats, brags and variance or something. I don't want to have to do that particularly.

[Pasterbator]

Ok, i dont need to update. I just wanted people to enjoy my suffering. And please don't move it to BBV - they wont be HALF as helpful as luke was!

[tigerite]

You can update a bit but not after every 2 sets. That would be more than once every 20 SNG's!

If you read the threads on ROI vs. Time of day, you know that it's not wise to grind out 100 SNGs during daytime hours. No use in burning yourself out when you could probably get the same results playing 40~50 during nighttime hours.

How did you manage to throw away 1/4 your bankroll in a 1/2 game? I assume you have at the very least ~$1500 left, which would mean you lost ~$500. That's 250 big bets at 1/2. You'd have to cap every street for 20 hands in a row and LOSE THEM ALL. That's very hard to accomplish, even when drunk.

NL?

It was 1-2 NL, and it was a forum game. Average pot was well over $100.
