I agree with jlost

Todays session was pretty awful. Down 3 Buy-ins in 1800 hands.

Overall im at 5.12 bb/100 over 40k hands...But that is including my first session at NL 10 where I was about 65bb/100 over like 1500 hands.

Past 25k Hands (Janurary) I have been at 2.61 BB/100.

I think theres something wrong with the way I play. I bleed chips by auto shipping in big pots cause I get into denial mode that my Top set is no good on a 3 flush flop and just auto ship full stack...

I currently play 10 to 12 tables of full ring. Do you guys think I should reduce tables?

But the problem with that is that playing like 4 tables of NL 10 would be way too boring for me...I can't spend my time doing that...Should I just play 4 tables of NL 25? My BR is now down to 450.

ONCE AGAIN, back to break even poker at NL 10. SO FRUSTRATING. I genuinely felt I had an 8k hand stretch where I was playing good. But couple of stupid plays and I am back to bad play.

This game really messes with your head. I think I am rational enough to not be results oriented. But doing that is much more difficult when you dont have the experience to evaluate if that play brings long term succeess.

Bah. Anyway...Whining aside...

I played a tight game. 11.1/7.7/4.38 with a 3% 3bet.Do you think I should open this up? I feel like I get unusually little action preflop. And that results in the only action I get to basically setminers I assume...or CLASH OF THE BIG PAIR scenarios... And that leads to me getting no action postflop except in reverse implied odds scenarios. SO OFTEN it just goes check fold. So fun...

And theres definately huge leaks in my game postflop. I feel Post flop is what suffers most when I am on tilt.

So...I think for tonight I am going to play NL 2. I want to move up ASAP but I dont trust myself with Tilt right now at NL 10.

BAH. This game is so hard. Anyway, thanks for reading.

I think I am getting used to playing NL10. I posted how frustrated I was about NL10 yesterday night. And since then I have made some adjustments. Namely, not stacking off so easily in big pots. Having this more "cautious" approach has definately made me value bet worse, but I think I can gradually adjust to this and I hope to do well at balancing the two in the future.

I reduced the tables I play to at first 10 tables. This has helped alot. I plan on increasing the number of tables gradually, as I feel for a Full Ring player, the ability to multitable well is really important.


I logged in 5400 hands since last night. It starts around hand 62000, and I think the graph points to a significantly lower variance style. Notice the decrease in variance near the end of the graph.

I hope to keep this up. I think I can do it. But wish me luck anyway!

TY for reading.

PS - thumbs up to Midan and Iverson2k2k. Gave me confidence after losing alot of it yesterday.
