I really want to play and I really want to get good at this game, but it is taking forever. I beat nl2, had a roll of 250 and was ready to move onto nl10. That was 4 months ago, now I'm back grinding nl2 and running like garbage. Yeah I'm playing like shit and I know my leaks, but they don't consist of stacking off deep with marginal hands. My leaks cost me ~$2 a session, yet somehow I always manage to break even or down and quit after less than 1k hands. I'm sick of watching my premiums be destroyed. I know it will end and I'll get through it, I also know that I'm bad at this game and if I was better how I'm running wouldn't matter at these stakes. However, I suck at poker. I know how to beat nl2, I can play ABC poker decently, and I know I should be making ~$20 a day if I played as long as I'd like to after work. The only problem is I come home only to run into setup after setup after suckout. Yeah, some of my hands hold, unfortunately I have not had a hand hold for over half a buyin in the last two weeks.
FML, I want to play this game and I want to be good at it, but right now I just don't have the drive to do it.

Nowadays I don't get too emotional over running bad for a while. (even tho I still have to face a REAL test)
I just say to myself, "I'm better than this, I'll be playing NL25 very soon anyway and this is just something I have to do before I take my next step."
Fuck it all, fuck the bad beats, they can't stop you from progressing coz YOU HAVE THE POWAH!! |

sorry to dissappoint u but if u cant beat 10nl or even 2nl over large hand sample size ur leaks are far greater than u think and its not the way u run but the way u play |

Please read my post before telling me I'm retarded. I've been playing less than 1k hands a day and playing 2-3 times a week. This has gone on for ~3 weeks. By that math, even with rounding up its a 9k stretch. Last I checked it was normal to run bad for much longer than 9k hands.
And to think that I'm not trying to focus on fixing leaks is fucking ignorant. |

games are tougher now, thus if u have little to no edge, variance will be unfortunately bigger and downswings a lot longer |
