"You Are Only Young Once" - Poker book written by a nit

I've finally surpassed what I'll consider the biggest downswing in my poker career since being a winning player (at nl25 lolz), and tbh it didnt hit me at all. I kept grinding. Lost money a week, more grind. I knew it. I knew eventually winnings would come again, and I could take a shot at nl50.

At some point before, I lost my poker passion. But during the downswing... It just felt different; it felt like when I first started, and I knew I had to keep my shit together and aim to move up.

Then I became obssesed with poker. Wanted to find more spots to value bet thinly, to give opponenets rooms to bluff, to get FUCKING better at this game and GTFO of nl25. This is how I feel now. I just want to learn moar poker.

Srsly, from my last 100k hands at nl25 all I can tell is that poker is such a ridicously swingy game that short term results should not phase me at all. I mean, i've always known it, but i'm finally starting to FEEL IT and not get affected by results. Being overrolled definetately helped.

Then runned hotter than sun at my 2bi shot at nl50, so I just want to run decent enough to put 100k hands here and say i'm a winner at nl50 and move up. Sample is ridicously low, but winnings allow me to become a "nl50 reg".

Cheers.
