GG poker, you put me on lifetilt
wayI'm steaming so hard right now, I can't take it.
I wonder how fucking long I can run bad, it's been about 120-130k hands right now, it just doesen't stop.
Last night I had a good session and finally managed to grind my way up to 1650€ again before another doomswitch occured. Then a few busted sets and straights later we're suddenly down at 1200€ and im going rampage throwing stuff around my room and hitting the wall. There's only so much a man can take.
Such fucking bullshit, it's been like this everytime I approach 2k, be it in $ or €, I can't even count the times I have grinded my way up to $2500 only to be doomswitched back into fucking middle age. I have been running bad ever since I started taking this game more seriously, only cashing out small ammounts.
I remember when I was still a fish and actually ran good, was probably around november last year. So basically it's over half a year of running bad right now.
I study the game so hard, I find myself watching leggopoker videos and going "ldo" cause I would play all the hands the exact same way. I can't encounter any new knowledge. And then I have people sweat me for hours on end telling me "you're doing fine you should be making money".
It's just wearing me out.

yeah Gill
you're not winning this bet imo! roll=13.5k and Gill's going on a two week holiday so I have time to catch up.
Started experimenting with finding the optimal amount of tables and whether to play in sets or continuous, loading up sngs everytime i bust out of one. TBH I much prefer playing in sets as they allow more freedom to take quick breaks and they take like 45 minutes so you pretty much know how long you're playing for and don't get as restless as you might do when you play sngs for 2-3 hours in a row.
Upped my tables from 6 to 8 and it's going goot and im starting to feel comfortable about it. I suppose i could play a few more but gg monitor, no room for them all as i dont cascade the tables iirc. Like I said earlier, i <3 Stars too much to not play there, so im getting in some volume there. On cruise control for Gold status aorn but i dont think i'll make platinum this month. That shall however be my goal for the next month i play there so i can be an FPP balla like the rest of em.
SNE next year imo :p
playing 5-6 sets a day, so im getting in a lot more volume than i used to. Now all that remains is permantly moving up again to the 60s!

sup
Hai guys, it's been a while since i updated anything up in hurr.
Since last time, i've dabbled in the super turbos on ftp where you start with 10bbs and have hudge shovefests. I thought this would be a good thing since people push/fold pretty badly and i could get in good volume and at least get some rakeback for my efforts. However the game was very swongy and after a break even stretch i quit 'em and came back to normal turbos and i'm glad i did.
I was going to play mainly on ftp, but one day ftp servers were being ghey so I fired up a session on stars and fell back in love with the site, so now I play both. Mainly 24s through 38s but also some 60s when i feel like it cause i've raun blueish lately (but prolly jinxing it now) and it feels so good to finally win showdowns. SNGs can be the most frustrating thing ever when every showdown leaves you futtbucked and you feel like you're going insane, so hi 5 for the good variance!
Bankroll is at 12k aorn, even after withdrawing a lot more than Gill has this year (afaik), and it looks like my downswing might finally be over. At least i hope so...
Im getting my student loan pretty soon, so hopefully i won't have to withdraw so much before new year so i can beat gill and win this 6.66$ prop bet!
I guess that's all for now. Wat wat

Ridin the rollercoaster.
After my last entry about being frustrated cause of running bad and having continously 10-20BI downswings I got back into the grind. Grinded and grinded and grinded, put in alot of hands and eventually managed to get to 1800€ again before the neverending doomswitch decided it was time to give me another 10BI+ downswing. So here I am 12BI's down later, sitting in Gill's room about to fire up another session after 40k hands of breakeveness again after the break.
Cheers.
Cheers.

HU
Started playing quite a bit of HU NLHE to try improve my hand reading skills as well as trying to base my decisions on gameflow rather than pure stats.
Frode (borntolose) is coming to visit for 2 weeks tomorrow, so ill end up spending too much time drunk to put in a lot of hands, but it's my birthday friday so i have an excuse :)
Got some RB so bankroll is around 13.7 atm, which cheers me up every time i look it at, but with me going out 4 times a week, it won't be long before i have to cash out $500 a week.
Until next time..
