Last two days...

yuck, hope you figure out a good way to deal with the stress/not experience so much stress ^^

oh shit man, I didn't realize you were down that much, jeezus

I think you should get away from poker for a few days, the stress is obv not good for you, so go do something fun, see a movie or something, etc. Hope things turn around, stay strong. GL

hang in there man

Im going to try to help you out a bit, i dont know about your poker career but one thing is very clear, in the time you moved up stakes you improved your skill and other aspects of poker, but you never improved your tilt resistance, thats why you post every bad beat on the hand section like microstakes players do, guess why the others high stakes players very rarely post bad beats do you think they dont get massive amounts too? its simply because they got much better than you at this particular area.

The good thing is you are not as "lemon" as Al Pacino calls them, you dont have this subconscious urge to loose it all like people like Raszi, Neilly or Fazi do, however you do need to work on your tilt control first realize and admit you suck at it and its a very important aspect of poker, i suggest you reading Gigabet's post on 2+2 about success and failure, it might help you.

Also as a personal rule you should stop posting bad beats on the forum.

just think you're waaaay better off than most people playing lower limits than you. all you need is a little perspective man. gl

Thats it, but first you have to read the post he is responding to.

are you even rolled for 5/10 ++ ??

100k+ bankroll....

and thanks for the response baal.

you are intensedawg right? also your tiny winrate probably because you plat stupid amounts of tables, and small edges produce big variance:

you cant expect to have a sub 1ptbb/100 winrate and not have sick swings.

I wouldn't worry about such a tiny downswing dude, seriously

That's what poker is all about anyways, ups and downs, just play well, you'll win, there's no more to it than that

cut down your tables dude

LOL u guys saying he shall cut down tables ....

u do realize he will make supernova elite again this year ?
he may be only a small winner but being a winner at all while achieving super nova elite = automatically ~ +100K year

Being a 1BB/100 winner + achieving SNE = great results

no offense but at 5/10 SNE money aint shit.
