Take my advice: don't try this at home! (low content)

I'll admit it...I'm one stupid mf'er. Why in the hell would I try this? Because I'm stupid for one, and because I'm greedy for another. So I'm having a pretty good night at 15/30 so for "fun" I thought I would try out the new $1000 NL games. I play very little no limit, but hey, when I get busted out of tourneys, I always seem to have the best hand so how hard can it bet, right?!?

So in total, I play 44 hands of $1000 NL, and basically 3 hands determine my fate and future at $1000 NL:

Outcome: UTG+1 wins $1745. 

So here's my illustrious totals: Total Hands 44 VPIP 15.91%, PFR 11.36%,WSD 66.77%,W$SD 0.00,Amount won -$3506.50, BB/100=-398.47

So yes, this is a whining thread, and this is a thread to remind myself to NOT play $1000 NL in the future "just for the fun of it". This is also a thread to glean appreciation from all of the "true" NL players because I contributed $3500 to their economy tonight.

i feel so bad seeing stuff like that. I played 4 hands in 1K NL the other day for "fun" before it hit me i can lose 1K in one hand.

I got up after 4 hands. You got up after 44. Same difference
