Finally..

That's nuts... you did all this just to fix your winrate on .5/1? @.@ I'm amazed you have the patience for this after being a steady winner at high stakes..
And stop being on my left lol

Yeah, I guess I have "problems".

Anyway, I guess I won't be on your left anymore now anyway ^.^

Pretend PTR doesn't exist!!! I know it's possible because I convinced myself for like, two days!

this is just sad...

You are insane lol

haha good! stay off my tables

omg midian this e-drug called wow is so 2006 ;/
Once you invest ALOT of time playing you know u wasted 90% of it -.-

strange thing tho beeing a gamer since i remember myself ^^ once i got into poker i dont really find joy in
any game as i used to.i ll find fun playing 2-3 sc2 games but not like 10 as i used in sc1 or 5-6 hours in wow-.-


Sick winrates @ micros , seems like when you played higer , you can easily crash lower limits.

anyway , gl to robusto

welcome back, jamie.

LOL

and welcome to the omahas.

midian you are my sc/poker hero but seriously this ptr winrate obsession was a complete waste of life, as im sure you know. you gave up so much potential profit from your normal stakes while playing 100nl for a year over something that couldve been fixed through a little discipline.

Sup Uptown, how's things going? Not spoke in a while ^_^;;;


I totally agree with you joLin, in every blog post I've made over that time period I'm always like "I know this is dumb, but.." or "I know I'm wasting my time, but...". I managed to stop playing those stakes for short periods of time now and then, but always ended up going back to it after a while.

It's not just that either, I can see instances of my OCD in a lot of things. My bet sizing is OCD, the fact I used to list my friends list in SC in alphabetical order and make sure each ID I added was correctly capitalised was OCD, as is the fact that all of my character names in wow begin with "Imp", how I order my DVD and CD collection alphabetically, rename every music file on my hard drive so that it follows the format of Track Number-Track Name is OCD. Pretty much anything to do with organising, numbers, order I'm pretty much OCD about. There's other things too, but don't come to my mind instantly. All of these things are a waste of time, and I know that, but I feel compelled to do all of these things for the sake of being neat and organised, or for whatever reason.

Anyway that's pretty much why I posted this blog, this has been something that's been nagging me for a long time, and I just wanted to write about my relief, that I finally got that stupid winrate that I wanted just for the sake of stats, to express that I don't need to waste my time on it anymore. As sad as all this sounds, I just feel like a burden has been lifted and now I can get my poker career back on track, work the way up the PLO ladder, jump back into $3/$6, $5/$10 NLHE when I've made enough money from PLO, hopefully succeed at PLO also, giving me much more playing options whenever I wanna play poker which is going to help tremendously with both game selection and also keeping my enjoyment in poker in general since the variation will hopefully prevent me from getting bored of poker as often as I have as of late.

I respect your discipline to play 100nl like that........ but that is some horrible opportunity cost, it's no different to playing WoW

gl in PLO

lol "WoW" xD

I did the same for feb march and april this year though and finally decided to not touch Starcraft 2 again once I realize I wasn't playing poker at all anymore and was breaking even after 4 months lolz

i don't understand how you guys perceive what midian did as a disciplined thing to do, its completely the opposite, its a really foolish thing to do. it's not like if he ran bad at high stakes and then dropped down to mid stakes to get some confidence back or anything like that. if he did all this it all came from a lack of discipline in the first place, which apparently he has very little control over. midian clearly has some serious issues to address.

anyway... lots of people on LP would've loved PTR never to exist... i'm starting to think midian is number one on that list now rofl

I'm #2 8D

nvm

Nice to see that you're playing a bit more jamie. What did your chars end up looking like when you finished WoW?

Had 4 level 80s, didn't manage to kill Lich King since guild burned out when we got to him and most players in guild were mediocre anyway. Had almost best stuff I could get outside of heroics on my main, never really got into PvP much, got like 1500 or something as Mage Rogue but we didn't play a super huge number of games and neither of us were particularly good anyway
