Haven't blogged in ages since I announced I quit. Long story short to anyone who is wondering, I started back in September with $44 and have since made around 15k. Really have been working hard and it's gone well.
Anyway, just so I dont forget this session I played today, it may literally have been the most ridiculous/crazy session I have ever played in my entire poker career. Literally 5 different times today a guy sits against me with a full or slightly less than full stack and proceeds to bad beat/cooler me into the ground that they all managed to build their stacks up to or around 700 BB's. The emotional roller coaster was just ridiculous, I ended up getting pretty tilted and frustrated. However, despite feeling nauseous I never once closed a single table. Miraculously, only one of those 5 people sat out and walked with a $700 stack. Every other guy fought me to the bitter end. To my credit, I ended up beating 4 of them and retrieved every penny and even a bit more from a few of them. It felt great. However, they all happened 1 after the other, so the emotional roller coaster went from - Feeling great to feeling awful 4-5 times in a row. At one point I was down $1400 and I'm not even playing nl200 right now. My graph today looks pretty funny. 4 of these insane and long matches were on pokerstars. It was weird because I swear to god people run up massive stacks ONLY on pokerstars. Literally like 14 of the last 15 times a guy has ammased a gigantic stack at my expense has been on pokerstars. It's annoying, but at least this time it ended in my favor. I ended up $120, which is VERY satisfying after being down almost ~15 BI's. I made up for the one guy who walked(and a bit more) by beating lots of other people on anywhere from 1 to 4 tables at a time(1 was always one of my big deep stack matches).
So basically after multitabling HU for around 12 hours today.. it's time to sleep. I'm very happy with the way this turned out and learned A LOT about how I should adjust and play in 3bet pots. I'm happy I'm able to persevere through tough times and not give up as well.
Here's the graph, peace out.

Needed money. My job wasn't enough to pay my expenses. I was at a big low in my life, no money and a not so great job. Owed $2000 and had basically nothing, almost was going to sell my car. Randomly I found $44 on an old rakeback site and told myself that even with a measly $44 I could build it up if I focus hard. I played micro stakes heads up and started with 4 buyins, turned that into a lot more and then got my $4500 from FTP back in November so poker really ended up saving my ass. I worked hard because I had to. Motivation was not an issue because there was no other way. I'm glad because now I'm going to work on poker on the side and just let my roll accumulate without touching it. Games might be harder but I think I've improved a lot myself. There's still money to be made. |

Sometimes an extended break is the best thing. Especially when questioning your own work ethic |
