OK, so my downswing officially ended the first week of the month and everything has been running smoothly since then, very disappointed with the breakeven stretch on 25nl during the downswing, and also my commitment overall, i usually put in 50-60k hands.

Targets for March:

PlatinumStar
Cash Games: +$1500
Tournaments: +$430 (2x 5400 FPP sats)

Results for February:

Cash Games: +$782
Tournaments: +$235

Adjusted: +$1017

So here's my stats for February! Once again thanks to DJForever/Shaneomac/MikeyMoo/David and others i keep in contact with over MSN. Goodluck for March!

I'm sure most of you are aware of the economic downturn revolving around the stock market and our financial system.

All of our banks have crashed and need bailouts constantly, to the point where the UK have dropped the interest rate down to 2% i believe. Luckily im getting 3.10%.

Now onto my problem, Considering i was getting 5.50% before, i was building up my savings slowly since the end of last year and have £2,650 in there. Thats only going to get me £78 if i dont add anything else.

I'm actually deciding on withdrawing and either putting a certain amount into the stock market and learn how to long/short stocks, or put it into poker to cushion my BR and maybe move up in another month or so. As im back onto grinding 50nl and improving daily.

Any suggestions/opinions on what i should do?

Mainly for a friend and ofcorse for people who may learn something, playing 2NL/5NL/10NL.

Feel i played ok, the only fuckup i done was the AK hand, i was going to check/call down for him to potentially keep betting with a worse hand, but i stupidly check/raised eliminating anything that i had beat, and ofcorse he has a set.

Apart from that i played fine i think. Please leave comments on what you think, and any leaks you think i may have.

ALSO: Forget i whined a few days ago, im up by a good amount now. Running at 4ptbb/100 over 7k hands atm.

May quit poker soon, no point playing a game where luck is involved. I could be the best low-limit grinder in the world, and still lose money.

Retards are supposed to be losers at the cash tables, yet i get sucked out on time and time again.

I feel im only winning by bluffing or RE-suckingout.

I'll decide at the end of the month.

This month gave me a shock, i had set my goals high and ready to destroy 25nl for 2 months to give me a roll for 50nl big enough for 30-40 BIs to withstand any coolers/variance that may come my way.

The month was going fine, up $200 within the first week, but then things went wrong, i dont know whether it was due to lack of focus considering i was playing in Spain at night during my vacation visiting family, or whether i run like shit (considering set over set happened to me 9x on its own), and countless set vs straight/flush suckouts, 2Pair vs set coolers etc.

I went on a -$730 downswing which was pretty unreal, being -$530 after taking away my profits, i was pretty distraught, a 30BI downswing was enough to almost completely destroy my roll (i use a 20BI rule, move up at 20 down at 15), but i remained calm and fought my way through it. Played some FR which i hadnt done since last year to try and reduce the variance while i rebuild what i lost, which worked out good and also went to my old routes and stomped on some 50nl HU fish. "Digitpl" stop avoiding me ! I won both my 5400 FPP sats to cushion my roll, and after a week of being back i started winning again.

I'd like to thank everyone on my MSN list, namely Luke, Devin, Shane, Micheal, Jonathon, David who put up with my whining haha. Devin special mention ofcorse for reviewing my hands and letting me ghost him for 1 session .

Also shoutout to NeillyAA and the sick railing we done during the 100k.

So for a quick month summary:

Cash Games: -$194
Tournaments: +$529

Adjusted: +$335

Thanks and GoodLuck.

Fuck you weekend donkeys, goddamnit, why is it so hard to win on weekends? Is it just me that experiences this? I mean its amazing how many hands i lose when im 90% favourite.

But you are not going to take me down January, knock me down and i will bounce back as fast as possible.

Break for a few hours then have another small session.

GL at the tables everyone.

First of all i'd like to say thanks to the ghosting sessions with Response/Shaneomac/Spets11/DJ. Also the people who replied to my Buddy program, that i have talked to on MSN. And the people i have had on MSN since day 1, Joshua, Jamie (Midian), Ket, SeanNolan, Andy, Tom (Xelin). You people are keeping me motivated and your views will also help me improve, as i hope my input does for you too.

I'm going to try and get $1500 at the end of the month, which i would be totally ecstatic about. The amount of hands i have put in this month has been sick for me, i never even put in this amount of focus when i played last year.

I think i needed the break away from the game, think i've growed and been more mature in focusing on what i want to achieve out of poker.

Just an emotional high right now, goodluck to everyone at the tables and Merry Christmas!

Why the fuck do you always win when im 80% favourite? And i fucking mean ALWAYS, i NEVER get it in behind and when i do, i never fucking suckout like you fucking donks do.

If this game actually let me win based on the odds and actually stuck to them without variance, i would have had a roll for NL200 months ago.

Wish PokerEV would work with PT3 so i can show you exactly what i mean.

Go die in a fucking fire, stupid fucking donkeys.

(yes i am aware that we make money off these people, but defies logic when they keep sucking out)

Sick dedication in the amount of hands i've put in so far.

I feel i've still been running like shit on 50nl, if you've checked all my hands recently, i'm getting sucked out on the river constantly. 25NL hasnt been bad, just come out of a breakeven 2-3 days.

Made almost half my bankroll in the first 10 days of the month, things are looking good!

I'm always seeking to improve, either by requesting opinions on hands, or just by talking to people, would like to thank Ket + Josh for a discussion earlier. Also Kyan (Shad99) for keeping me motivated, his a sick tourny player, always see him final tabling.

Also only 400VPP from hitting Goldstar for the first time, maybe go for Platinum!
