View Full Version : Well I took an almost 24 hour hiatus from poker... *low content*

That's an eternity for a money addict like myself (as I am sure you guys will agree).

Totally cleared my mind of it.

My plan is to just start 8-tabling 33s again, pretending like nothing ever happened. I've pretty much cleared my mind from the effects of the 30 buy-in drop and 25 OOTM streak - just forgot it ever happened.

After all, I STILL have more money this week than I did last week in my bankroll (if you include my MTT wins).

Think this is a bad idea or should I be 4-tabling 11s or something?

Vive la poker king!

P.S. I hope some of you still have respect for my game even after posting a 25 OOTM streak.

I would start off 4 tabling the 30's and if your doing well and feal well kick it up too 8.

I'll dump some money to you at the 33s if it makes you feel better:P

Jokes...good luck.

Um, less than 24 hours isn't a hiatus. It's more like a nap. You should probably take a bit more time. Like 2-3 days or something.

Regardless of what you choose to do, I wish you the best of luck at the tables. Hopefully you have the opposite of what you just did.

I had a 4.5k profit run in 87 sngs, and lost 4k in 134 sngs this week, go figure...these things are fun...

After a really crappy streak I just usually stop playing for the day and start fresh the next day. Being able to forget about your previous day's (or weeks) results in a hurry is extremely important and something I'm trying to work on.

25 in a row is brutal man, Id play a lower limit until you money once or get first place once and then jump back into it, just to remember what it feels like to be a champion again.

That explains why I caught you on the $10+1s!

Ha!

I've played over 3000 SNG's at the 20 & 30 level at an ROI of around 25%.

I've played ~1500 SNG's at the 50 level with an ROI of just under 20%.

And I've never had a Grand Slam.

Take it as you will. Stick to the 33s until your confidence is back.

Yeah this is way too crazy for me. Like I knew variance was a bitch but wow it is taking me for a roller coaster ride.

I even had a 2+2er sweating me tonight he felt so bad for me, haha.

The sweat helped :-).

Thanks for the encouragement guys!

Aghhhh. I am going on 24 hours myself now too. I am a sick addict, and I'm totally jonesing /images/graemlins/crazy.gif After I had one glass of champagne about 6 hours ago, I promised myself that I wouldn't play tonight. I am so sober its not even funny, but I just don't want to break the promise to myself. /images/graemlins/confused.gif Agh! Peak hours passing by... /images/graemlins/frown.gif

You wanna figure out the probability of doing that?

Nice job Karak, keep it up.
