should quit

Hm i know how you feel. I felt the same many times

I was to quit poker at the beginnig of the month but took a free 50$ Partypoker promo and finally after about 10 month of running like shit i run somehow close to what the percentages of my hands should be.

You have to understand that luck in poker is a far bigger factor then skill in the shortterm ... and when i mean shortterm this goes from 1 hand to maybe even 50 K hands.

maybe i was just running amazingly hot for 300k hands and i dont know shit about poker. maybe im on a sick long bullshit swing.maybe im wrong and all these 70/5, 80/50 ,11/3 morons are way better then me.maybe the pokergod doesnt want me to play anymore. i dont know.

this where exactly my thoughts when i lost 32 buy ins in a row ...

But fact is most of the Nl25 guys are either total nits FR players or complete donks at SH tables.
And you will beat them in the longrun if you just stay focused and tight.
Even the NL50 players are not too good either from what i ve seen in my last 4K hands ( i did 9 BB/100 at Party )

Keep it up


As long as you dont give up you can still win !


ANd PS : nothing wrong with a small cash in ....

hmm.. you can win I'm sure, but look over your past blog posts, you don't exactly see poker in a positive light...

I dare you to write something positive about poker.

try dropping drop down a level, no shame in that. have a winning session and get your confidence back.

welcome the variance lol.

Id prefer cashing in to be able to continue grinding NL25 over dropping down to Nl10 to be honest.

I mean he is used to NL100
Playing NL10 will probably fuck up his mind ^^

should definitely cash in if you can, I am going through the same thing and it is impossible to care about $25 and that level on Stars tilted the shit out of me because of how nitty everyone is, get up to 50nl u will feel much better and the play will be more what your used to it will make it a lot easier, no shame in cashing back in some its not like your losing over your lifetime, cashouts and a bad run can fuck over anyone

post stats

that sucks

im having the worst month of my life as well pokerwise

i can help you with the transfer if you want, my ftp name is Quarantine51

Don't give up that easily, i have lost 2/3 of my br this month, however things are improving since i started winning again, so you should never give up after 1 bad run, it's just a variance

thank you all for the comments. will continue to play underrolled nl25 because i really really cant stand playing nl10. but yeah maybe if i really go busto i will put some money in after a while.

@Silver)Z(

well i started this blog when i started to run bad. and since then i hadnt much positive time at poker. dont get me wrong when i play its still fun. but after the first suckouts and when i see my money going to retards my mood changes quite fast.

@Loco

thank you. will contact you as soon as i remember my ftp pass ~

@Baal

mainstats are in the post but ill write down all.(very limited hands tho since i fucked over my old database some weeks ago so this only has like 15kish hands in it)

here we go:

vpip 18,2
vpip sb 23,3
folded to steal sb&bb ~82
steal att. 25
w$wsf 34
went to shdwn 22
won @ shdwn 53,5
pfr 15
pf agg 2,36
flop agg 4,35
turn agg 2,3
river agg 2,5
total agg 2,8

rather nitty i know. but as said changed styles and now i really dont think i have the confidence or the br to play my old style.still i just now noticed how horrible tight i play atm...

btw just noticed AK(s) is a losing hand for me >.<
edit:wtf ak is even one of the biggest losers for me avg/hand wise..

Define underrollled plz..

If it's significantly so, I'd strongly - STRONGLY - urge you to drop down. Even if you are capable of crushing those stakes (which you probably are) you probably won't, given the mental state you are in.

Yes, playing NL10 FUCKING SUCKS, I hate that level sooooooooooo much, but you need confidence to play poker. Your stats look great, maybe the won when seen flop number is a little low but I dunno, stats don't matter that much tho.. Maybe there's something you are doing wrong, maybe caused by changing things just cause you are running bad.

By the way, QQ is/was one of my top 3 losers over more than 30k hands, probably more like 40 (it might still be actually, in which case it's one of my biggest losers over nearly 60k hands). And for the entire month of august I was essentially running breakeven/losing at NL100 so I know how much it sucks and I know that at least I don't play my best game when on such lifetilt.

I agree playing too underrolled is not a good idea !
you should have at least 12buy ins for Nl25 with anything below 10 buy ins you will most likley get broke by variance no matter how much you normally crush the limit.

i have had all .. what u have had ..those wigs losses wins ..going busto numerous time ..yes its hard to go 10nl then u have played 25nl all the time same with 100nl going down 2 limits... and u ask how long its gonna go when u on bad run ... u just play for that those bright days will be ahead... hard times makes u better and stronger poker player

I would really suggest joining a rb site since the rb gives you back everything and more that you lose cuz of variance, its the ultimate tool if you play a lot like me :}

not just about cash, but also motivates you to not get depressed cuz of variance.

Rakeback is key however a $1.5k downswing at $100nl...I had 1 session at $100nl where I lost $1400 in like 3.5k hands. Poker is full of variance, just part of the game.
