ok guys if you guys dont no, i builded myself up to be playing the 55's 8 tables in a little over a month preety damn fast. i made a post about me trying to move super fast to the 215's to play there because i knew i was a winning player. i didnt have enough sngs in each of the levels but i felt that i was ready to move up. well i started 8 tabling sng's and after about 100 55's, my roi was preety bad at around 6%. and my friend who moved to 400NL made 8kk in last 10 days or so with a 12bb/100(variance i know). but made me greedy. i wanted to be making as much as him. so i decided i would give 400nl a shot. very inadequately rolled but i was willing to give it a shot. if i lose ill just fall back.
BUT MAN was i wrong on the fallling back part. i thought i was disciplined enough. so i moved to 400nl (3 days ago), and i started playing 1 tables. day 1 i made 600$ life was good. i was playing great!! day 2 i was still playing and i added 1 more table and was playing. i lost about 700 then but i wasnt that worried. i wouldnt play the hands any didfferently. i got stacked twice . once set over set and the other AA where i got my money in on flop. but today the horror began...
i came from college after acing the chem test and thought this will be my day. i sat down and decided to 3 table. first i catch a hand against someone who sees me as a true LAG. i catch top 2 on flop. i over bet it he calls. turn i check as i know he will bet. he bets hard i push all in he calls with bottom 2 and catches river house. ok there goes 500! (he had me covered). 2nd hand against him again!! i have AA. i reraised preflop and he still caled. flop i potted he called. turn i check called. river i check called all in..... (maybe i shoulda pushed turn? ) he showed me his hit gut shot draw on river. i got potted again. then on other table i have AA yet again. against someone i played alot with. he also sees me as a LAG. flop 3JJ i bet pot he raises i push all in he calls. he shows me 34.
overall i lost 2k of profit since i moved to 400nl. i am sad. very sad. i controled myself to stop playing as i was as tilty as it gets after the third AA loss. i never seen myself like this. i went down to eat a over waited meal. and couldnt eat... i was shaking and eager to sit back on the 400nl tables. i ate half of my meal and came back up. but then i just focused and controlled myself. and sat back limits. not 8 tabling 55's... but i needed a sure thing. i sat back 8 tabling the 22's. im back where i started. life is great.
lesson? money and higher limits are inevitable. there is no need to rush. this time ill stay in sng's and play them longer and move to cash maybe.. if i am adequately br for it. my 2c. back to the 22's i go guys. also ill actually move to 109's and 215's this time. i realized that my friend was just having a good rush. he is down 2k since yesterday as well..
