Hai blog creepers and LP'ers. I've been a long time creeper and decided thats too much work, and emo blogs are fun to post bad beats and whine in

I've been pokering for about 3 years , but as far as online went

2 years ago
i deposited 50, grinded 6$ sngs on stars till i hit 300$, cashed that out cause i didnt give a fuck about BR, hell i didnt even know what br was back then

1 year ago
Played on stars actually trying to get good at cash, 4 tabled 10NL to hit a BR of 500, again, i didnt know anything about BR and mainly did what my other friend (MT's PLO 1/2 on stars) and opened up a bunch of tables and played tight.

Flash to 6 months ago in the summer, i deposited 300 onto FTP after i found out what rake back was (I GET MY MONEY BACK? LOL YES PLZ.). From there i grinded the 300 + (not including the 100% bonus) up to 1800 BR. For some reason i decided at this point to try out stars again

Soooooo once i moved the 1800 BR to stars, i took a couple shots @ 100NL. met some marginal success but then went on a downswing (moved down after losing 1 BI @ 100NL) on the 50NL tables, dropping >20< BI's over 5k hands. It wasn't spew or anything, had a couple of experienced grinder friends on stars / ftp review some big hands, was just horrible variance really -_-;; (Flopped flush AIOF vs Set runner runner fh, KKVAA AAVKK standard bad luck stuff).... now, i had never run this bad before so it was quite a shock to me, i guess you could say i hit poker depression and started feeling scared to play my usual game (BUT WHAT IF I GET DRAWN OUT AGAIN I BETTER JUST FOLD HERE AND WAIT FOR A BETTER THAN 80/20 SPOT)

anyways, i ended up dropping further after coming back after a 3 week break, and ended up getting into more downswing-goodness and ended up dropping to a shitty 250$ BR. (moved down to 25NL @ 500 where i ate some more bad beats + a couple bad plays)

So here i am, moved back the 250 roll to FTP to start grinding micro. I think i'm better at SNG's, but i just find it waaay too much of a grind (10 straight SNG loss downswings are standard stuff, but man they're boring when u
bubble them -_-)

Am going to be investing in PT and PAhud when i get the $. (keeping my rl money and poker money totally seperate, therefore id rather not spend half my BR buying PT / PAHUD)

but thank you for taking the time to read this, i'll be on FTP grinding FR 25NL X 5 tables under this nick so feel free to roll me with some bad beats so i can post them on this blog (LOL 15'' LAPTOP MONITOR SO UNBALLER.)

gl friends

i started over that same period too. spewed time and effort not really having any clue then started taking a closer look into br and tag/slag cr videos etc just this june. made it up to 2400 at some point then withdrew some, started swinging like shit went down to 750 2 months ago, then made it back to around 1800 playing 3 farking sites. well poker doesnt work for everyone immediately, im glad i read your blog coz it makes my poker journey soooo much better.

p.s.
ftp is the devil
