My bankroll now : 4.5k so this was a 16~17 buyin downswing.
I swear I woke up focused and ready to play good poker but it went so bad I don't know if I even believe this game is about skill anymore. The deck was just as cold as absolute zero, had to lay down sick hands and got horrible cooler. Never got paid for my big hands either...
I'm especially sick of everything else like school and my dumbfuck parents now I'm sick of poker and I lost all I had won in the past months...
All the hard work and even worst than no rewards...
Come on, man, cheer up! Go to NL100 and rape the shit out of everybody, win 6k in one month and come back to NL200. End of fucking whining.

I'm only whining because I'm running so horrible that nothing else will make me feel good. I can't cheer up, it's an on/off switch. I just say what I think on my blog feel free to forget about it.

I kinda know the feeling though on a much lower level.
I began the month with 750$ in my account playing NL 25 getting ready to take shots at NL 50
lost ~ 18 buy ins at NL 25 in 1 week ....

I experienced something similar. I went from 2800 to 500 in one month. Nothing could make me feel better, but that's when I decided to not let poker affect my daily life. I missed school everytime I had a shitty day in poker. It's really an unhealthy lifestyle, maybe you should take a short break for now.

Fayth is right. the 1st big downswing at 200nl is tough but you'll get used to it.
-take a 1 or 2 days break
-go back to 100nl
-play less tables and fully concentrate, work on your leaks, watch card runners videos etc
if its bad luck, it will turn around eventually. good luck
I sometimes fold AA preflop to balance my range

anything below 20 bi downswing is just a variation. So just get over it somehow

hahaha funny video, but I believe I have seen something yet I swear if you had that downswing it would be in your top 10 worst . I'm totally confident it was just variance tho, just sorta pissed to see that money gone so fast
just gonna go pwn some newbies on ICCup then play some more poker

I posted on a hand yesterday and you ignored it. You should take some time off. When running bad/playing bad which I am sure has been the case the last few days there is no need to go and put in 5k hand sessions like it seemed you did yesterday because of all the hands you posted. If you want to win long term you need to get some self control and have the ability to just not play when you are in the type of mood you were in. You probably would not have won yesterday even if you did run a little better than you did because you are so on edge about how bad you are running.

I did read your post, it was good but what you are saying is not true. If I would have ran better I would surely not be down, I was pretty focused this morning....

Even though you say this, I guarantee sub-consciously you were making bad decisions only because you didn't wanna lose a stack again.
