I don't feel like playing poker at all at this moment.
I was supposed to play around 200 sng's throughout this week 9-man 16$, but since I ran like shit I thought it was a moment to let it go... It's a pretty bad downswing nearly 50 buy-ins. I am not used to such swings since I made my 5K bankroll playing 10$ DoN's ( much less variance ). Since I am not used to it I feel like it might affect my game. I decreased number of tables from 16 to 14 and I am breaking even - yay!

The good things about this swing are the following :

1) I didn't tilt while playing. It might sound stupid but actually I'm proud of myself lol. I mean I screamed 2 or 3 times like loud "FUCK!!!!!!" just to release some negative emotions ( it helps ), but overall I know I was making +EV decisions. It didn't really bother me while I was playing. As I look back couple months ago running bad made me tilt. I was stopping the sessions while having a couple tables and I had to cool off for the whole day. Now, the only thing that makes me tilt is making stupid decisions of my own. Okay... and sometimes I'm mad for some donk who calls my shove with total junk which is -EV for both of us

2) I have some hands to analyze. I ran with SNGwizard, and SNGPowerTools hands I should go over once again. I made printscreens of every hand in which I made a mistake, and I will print all them out and make another folder just to look at it before sleep

3) I am going to focus on university related stuff for this week. It's so weird that I actually need to ran bad in order to focus on other stuff than poker. I mean I need motivation to be real-life focused. What motivates me towards my obligations is having tons of stuff that I should have done already, or that I should really try catching up on. I wish I had some more balance in my life but I think it's always been like that.

4) ( oh wow, there are actually four things that make up for the downswing! ) I need to start playing some other game than NLHE turbo SnG's. I was thinking of depositing some money onto Cake, or Party where I used to play. I don't want to play on PokerStars cause I'd like to separate rolls for my SnG/MTT and cash games. ( any suggestions where should I play taking into account bonuses ? ) I want to play 6-max in order to improve hand reading ( SNGs are such a brainwasher )

5) I turned 700 FTP points where I played for a whole into 20,000 ( so easy, and I ran so hot! ). I got 1-month membership to Stoxpoker for 5000, 2 card decks for live play with my friends and... that's it. Can't get too much! I am exercising my FTP points bankroll.

So...

What are the bad things about the swings ?

1) losing money

2) feeling like shit today, and most likely next few days as well every time I will look at my roll.

i think i got a lot more value from your arctic rabbit than i would have from a hot chick. it's like almost a sphere with a head, and it's just sitting there in the snow like that. what an ideal animal
