Pure Cashgames

I AM SO FUCKING FAIL THIS MONTH AT MTT

how did i run so good at MTT for 4 years? Am I just payin the price for 20+k/month now? how standard is this? i've played over 40k mtt's, and never downswung like this....ever....

fuckin lotto tickets

this guy..

look at ur lifetime MTT results

compare them to ur lifetime CG results

and why do u always get urself in trouble?

ur stuck in a loop of shortterm memory, i have no fucking idea how its possible to make the same misstake this many times over and over and over again

do u never learn? Goldfish might be a more suitable name for u

gl tho

longple im winning at cash and getting slaughtered at mtt's, my br can't sustain it. im getting shortrolled man. im not staked.

very stressful

goldfish LOL awesome!

longple if i had another 25k i wouldn't stop mtting.

i have a few grand.

have to move down..

Dude you won 25 buyins in a pretty big upswing judging by the (positive) coolers you were posting nonstop and suddenly you destroy cashgames?

You are so ridiculously short-term result-oriented. MTT has massive variance, 25k downswings with the buyins you're playing isn't that uncommon..

varaince is big in both gametypes

what does ur lifetime say? these are the results u should focus on

i dont have anything against u and everytime ive thought well give him a break he seems like a nice guy, maybe its not gonna happen again but now even my naive mentality is starting to really see the pattern, u shouldnt just switch games because ur haveing a bad month or two

or even 6 months or what ever

variance in mtts are huge

look at ur lifetime when shortterm is haveing to big of an effect on ur mindset, its easy to get caught up in variance

if u dont have a bankroll to play the mtts u played last month then u should move down, those mtts will be more profitable and its important to move down to rise again

i moved down to 1/2 this year and put in over 100k hands there and i havent played a hand there in years. but its important to take a step back because of these things, mental issues, bankroll, etc etc and now im playing 5/10 again stronger then ever just a few months later.

dont switch gametypes because of variance its only gonna make it worse, just wait for ur first 40 buy in DS in cashgames, what are u gonna do then? can u handle that? are u even a winner in the games?

u have no idea about these things because u have no substainable sample or proof of these things

and its not like ur history is saying anything else

this is in my opinion a terrible terrible idea and u are probably gonna pay for it, just like every other time uve made the same misstake for the same stupid reasons

which limits/ types of CG do you play ryan?

i feel like i should have been a cg playre for the past few years, but i wasn't patient enough to work up the limits to where i wanted to be

right now im splitting my nl200 action til im fully rolled

its just the hands i post longple, no reason to post my pure value hands and set over sets etc most the time.. altho sometimes i do

This is a nice, well thought out post...boosted further by relating to self examples.

It's just a pity it will go completely unheeded.

you should have around $10k+for NL200 zoom minimum imo

15k minimum imo

(for a winning player in the games)

since u dont even know if u are winning u shuldnt be playing that high in the first place

play nl50 with 5-10k or something if u want to start over again as a "cg player"
