I kind of wish there was a way to delete all my past blog entries... Ah well.
I busted out on the free $50 at party, and busted out on the $50 that I got from referring 5 people, and busted out of the $15 that I deposited as well. I tilted out all the money that I got from titanpoker and vc poker, and I'm also down $200 at the casino when I went with friends.
I look back at the past blog articles that I posted, my 'bad beats' etc and I'm pretty embarrassed by them. I feel like I was just a kid playing around with money but having no idea what I was doing.
A week ago, I deposited $100 on pokerstars. I told myself that this time, I would follow Grot's 'word of advice' exactly, no matter what. Before, I read over it and I told myself I understood what he was talking about, and then modified it however I saw fit. Now that I've grinded at $2NL for a week, I realize that I was really just being impatient and overconfident in my skills.
Currently I am up 15 buy-ins ($30) at $2NL. I play according to Grot's guide, and the more that I do it, the more I see exactly why he said what he did. By following his instructions, I've learned more than I thought I ever would. I'm now not only winning more, but more importantly, I'm losing much much less. And since I've had so much success, I've gained a lot of confidence in myself. Bad beats are now entertaining, rather than frustrating. Even though I've suffered many suckouts, I haven't tilted once - I'm always playing my A game. So yeah, I think I'm on a good road.
Even though I have more than enough (20+ buy ins) for 5NL, I've set a goal to grind until I reach a $200 bankroll before I move up. It's a test of discipline that I've set for myself to prove that I have the patience to continue being a winning pla<x>yer.
I just wanted to write this down somewhere.
My current goals:
1. Make a $100 profit on Stars ($200 bank roll) playing ONLY $2NL, and then move up to $5NL.

Good luck mate! Though I do believe that Pokerstars has a $5 buyin for NL2, and $10 for NL5. Still, good job and hang in there! |

You shouldn't delete your past entries even if you're ashamed of them.
They are here to show you how much you have matured as poker player, and I'm pretty sure there will be times when you will be glad to read them again and reflect on your improvement.
Also they can help some other beginning players if they read all your entries to see how you evolved as a player, and that will be the best way to show them what not to do in terms of whining, etc.
Anyway, gl.
P.S.: btw I love stars but maybe you should think about moving to a site with rakeback? |
