public humiliation - Page 2

please don't post pictures like that, i almost vomitted.

i dont think 400nl is still considered a grind or 200nl for that matter gumster, i think u can make a good living off at those stakes

why move up dependant on bankroll ?
i remember talentedtom saying he only moved up when he knew he was crushing the limit.

.... i play overrolled (200 buyins) - call me a nit...

shit son, i went busto last December going on my monkey tilt session. Wasn't the first time i went broke, it was probably like the 5th or 6th time. But by then I've developed confidence in my game. Just had to fix my discipline: which is the most important part of poker. I restarted AGAIN with 100 bucks after recommendation from a friend after asking him to stake me because I needed to regain my confidence, revisit ABC poker and most importantly develop a solid discipline that will help me survive through tough times. In that first month i ran it up to 4k+ and started to grind the NL100 tables again. But then I had a 150k hand downswing. Although it wasn't the most money i've lost in a downswing it was sure as hell the longest and toughest i've ever experienced. ( lost 30 buys over that time ).

I learned a shit ton while rebuilding my roll and what it really takes to succeed at poker in general. After that I haven't looked back since. Sure i steam off 1 buyin here and there but I generally have my emotions under control most of the time now. Take it from me. Learn how to take beats and not let it effect your game. And even more importantly if you're playing for a living. Not let it effect other areas of your life. I took many tough lessons for me to learn. I hope this is the first and last for you.

NL200 and NL400 is very good money for the avg person. but it's still a fucking grind for sure.
