Re: sigh
[ QUOTE ]
Just to reitirate, I was not thinking "if I am up, i should not play", I pointed out that if I was going to get upset over the fact that I finished lower for the month than I planned...well maybe I shouldnt have played. Everytime I sit down I know it can go either way, thats why we sit down so frequently. But it's a severe shock to the system when you take a hit that represents so much of your monthly earn in one sitting. I am angry at myself for being upset about it, but I also think its inevitable. I am actually perfectly chipper and fine right now, but am frustrated at my May total and my um..lol...win rate. It is super trivial, who cares about month to month numbers they are meaningless. But I like to have things nice and tidy in which case I better figure out how to make up 200bbs or stop obsessing over it. At this point the latter seems easier. [/ QUOTE ] Ah, I apologize for the misunderstanding. It didn't seem like you to stop playing when running well.

Re: sigh
Right there with you man. If I could host an image, I would post some funny PT screen shots for you -- my first 10K hands of the month vs. my second.
Hope you bounce back quicker than I am doing thus far. Nigel

sigh - UPDATE
Just wanted to say that oddly, posting this silly little thing made me feel better. I suppose misery loves company.
Anyway I was so hell bent on finishing May with the number I had prior to the swing that I devoted the rest of the month to recovering it. The next day I played 2k hands and guess what...yup....lost another 100bb. I think at one point the total slide was over 310BBs and finally finished down 250BBs. I was kind of disgusted watching all my profits vanish into thin air. To make a long story short I am finally back to where I was before the slide started. Although I did come close to knocking over both monitors last night, but all is well. Its just amazing how little 5k means in this game. Of course my win rate is shot again and I am still left wondering how anyone makes over 2bb/100 4tabling this madness. What is particularly funny, that at 11:30 I was still $100 short and at about 11:50 I was up $100. YaY!

I mean, I deal with it much better than I used to -- it's just 50BB, after all -- but I absolutely need to get to the point where I can drop this and still sleep like a baby.

Re: sigh
that's pretty rough man.
i've been doing rough at 5/10. 15k break even stretch now followed by a 150bb downswing. (and i play about 15k hands a month.) also i have spent way too much on tournaments and not had good results. poker does indeed suck. except for the 10k i made in tourneys and 5k i made at ring games in april :P how soon we forget..

Re: sigh - UPDATE
I really do think its a matter of playing a lot. You play less hands than I and generally ran better, so those kind of swings are not something u were used to. With my crap win rate I get to experience this BS all the time and can now sleep like a baby after a -2k night. -4k though ... well that required a post on 2+2.

Re: sigh
hehe, half a year ago I think I cried when I lost 400 in a day. You will be surprised how immune you become to money. It is a little strange and twisted.
btw, billy, NICE tournament results! very impressive, that takes a lot of work for most people to get 10k grinding the 6max games.
