Yesterday I I had my biggest downswing in my life in $(-4K) and bi(-10). After reviewing my hands I can say that I underestimated variance. Im not gonna complain about the bad beats, only make some cold decisions (you cant mix you emotions with poker): I quit to try to be a professional poker player. That is Im gonna be playing a lot less and put poker in the bottom of my priorities (I noticed I was missing some events becouse I was playing poker)
I see in front of my eyes a lot of oportunities and things with less variance. What's the point of continuing playing a game where I see a dark path, where I dont learn anything new, I dont make interesting friends, I have no curriculum.

seems like all i see lately is running bad blogs. It is rather discouraging seeing as how im running piss poor over about 80k hands. But i dont want to give up on it just yet, i love poker i dont think there is anything id rather be doing for a living. |

When you lose 10 BIs in 1 day, it's almost NEVER pure variance. At least 50% of those losses, if not more were due to tilt. Tilt control is one of the most important skills for a successful poker player. Set a stoploss. |

Poker is still profitable, I dont hate the game I just make cold decisions.
Dont remember being on tilt and if I was, couldnt be more than 15% (unperceived). If I was tilting at least 50% then I have a huge reason to completely quit poker. |
