Today has been a bad day for multiple reasons. However overall poker results this month have been better, mainly because I actually sat down and played some $5/$10, albeit very few hands, but have still been unable to stop myself from playing more hands lower than higher. Here are the stats:
Pretty funny how whenever I sit in $3/$6, $5/$10 games I continue to run well, play well and have good results, but whenever I play at $1/$2, $0.50/$1 my results blow, my play blows, I run like crap and tilt a lot. I guess I should consider it a good thing, better that I run well at higher stakes than lower stakes when it comes to money, however it kinda hurts my ego to lose to "inferior" players, hence why I tilt so easily when things are not going my way at those stakes. I wish I could just run good at $1/$2 etc so that my mind would be at ease and I could stop playing so many hands there when I should not be. Today I lost $1.3k playing $1/$2, I was tilted before I even started the session which was not a bright move and a few coolers, few beats, few gay board runouts later and I was tilted enough to call down 200bb with 55 in a 3bet pot on 4487, obviously something I would never ever do in a higher stakes game, and just shows me why I lose at these stupid stakes but win at actual decent stakes.
The lack of volume this month is largely due to StarCraft, I've played 200+ games in the last 3 or 4 weeks and created a stream where people can see me playing in First Person when I log on. The link is http://www.LiveStream.com/MidiaN but I don't stream very often and when I'm not streaming it just has some StarCraft2 battlereports on loop, as I needed to loop something in order to get my account verified. I've barely been active at any point in the last 2.5 years and my skills are significantly worse in comparison to other players than they used to be obviously. I've got used to some of the newer build orders a little bit but don't have the feel for the opponent that I once did, and I end up losing a lot of silly games and a lot of games to players who are clearly pretty horrible at the game. This has happened a lot today imparticularly and further bruising my ego today and making me feel like I actually suck at the 2 main things that I'm supposed to be good at, poker and StarCraft.
I've been going out a fair bit this month too, you can find some pictures in my girlfriend's blog at http://www.teamliquid.net/blog/lilsusie . Anyway, I'm off to the gym for now to take out some rage -_-)

I know that feeling of "I suck at everything I'm supposed to be good at!"
I used to play BW after running bad at poker, thinking it would be fun to crush some noobs and rebuild my ego. But then I'd get ass raped cause I'm so damn rusty and feel even worse, lolz
At least u run good at higher stakes. |

I've watched your stream, you have some of the best mechanics of any of the streamers (probably with only the exception of ret), I'm sure in a few hundred more games you'll be up to snuff. |
