last month was so fking good, down 3.5k this month, suxx...

had first winning session this month yesterday night on stars. won like 7BI at 50NL 6max

Gonna need to turn this around now again like last time i ran/played this bad

also thought alot about what loco wrote in Nights blog

I quote:

you set yourself up for disappointments when you blog about your results daily. it's something i could personally never do because it would affect my judgement way too much. it's really easy to think you're crushing the game because you run good for a while and you make it public and you start believing in it, and when it doesn't go your way you have enforced the belief that you 'deserve to win' or something, just because you've been winning. it's the main reason people tilt i think. they don't understand that there are two sides to the coin and if you are running abnormally hot it's going to come crashing sooner or later and it shouldn't affect your game because you should know it's going to happen. i don't tilt at all when i don't blog about my results and i'm never disappointed in my performance because of this, whereas i was scared to lose coming up in the low/mid limits and blogging often, and every time i had big losing sessions my play/mood was tremendously affected.

tldr; i found that playing to improve for myself and myself only, not making it too public how much money i was making was actually much better for my game and emotional stability.

really wise words imo.. that i will try to plant into my game/life.
So this might be one of the last resultsoriented blogposts of mine for a while. i need to stop being an attentionwhore about everything and just concentrate on my game.

and thats just not posting results and shit thinking im some kind of god when i run good, just my whole sight of poker as a game. dealing with beats and stuff. just not be so fucking shortterm effected all the time.

ty for reading all!

Keep playing; you are obviously winning and despite the downswings you've come back. GL to you.

So true, even when you look at longple's graph you see that the downswings seems like 'fair' adjustements

93% Sure!
