My first poker post 15k hand weekend challenge

[[censored]]

8000 and this officially sucks, Im down to 150 and I can't even say it is because of a bad run. I just don't think im playing well, calling too many things down. Anways for the rest of the night my actions will either be raising or folding postflop. no more calling period.

I've only got about 13k hands in this game, but I think this is a terrible idea.

I stopped tonight down $169 overall, a $1400 down swing from my high and probably a few minutes from tilting.

total hands 8219

There is no question in my mind that there are some serious leaks in my game

you should still be up from rakeback, yes?

Ya I guess, thats not really comforting though.

sorry it's not working out for you.

break-even with some 50-100BB swings in there after 8k hands isn't that unusual...but you almost definitely correct that you aren't playing ideally.


I can be break-even for 8k hands and then go on a 14BB/100 run for the next 1000 hands.
It indeed is pretty streaky.


I learned about some audio-books that hold no interest to me and also found out that they don't Do the Dew in England.
Who knew?
Good thread. Good luck tomorrow.

Well I'm not going to make it as I had to stop last night because of impending tilt. Thanks to James282 for sayong call it a night.

I'm going to play out the day though and see how close I can get.

I did a few things last night and today. I posted a several hands and questions in the HUSH forum for starters. I went through my hand histories and I got the hand histories from a friend who wins at the 10/20 6max game and went through some of those as well.

I think i've trace the problem to my blind play. I lose 50% of the money I have posted where I should be losing only 30%. To put that in perspective if I was at 33% I would be up close to $3k instead of down $160. Sucks to know i've wasted a good run of cards.

A few things I've done. First I made a quick starting hands chart for the sb and blind to a raise as one of the biggest problems was that I was simply folding to often preflop from the blinds. This from my NL play where I simply did not worry about playing from the blinds much as being out of position sucked.

Second I am only going to play 2 tables for the time being until I feel confident again.
