I believe I will take a break from live poker.

I am getting my head kicked in playing live at the casino but i am running good online. I think the only smart thing to do is take a little break from live play. I believe I'll give it a rest for a week or two and then see how it goes.

Heh, same here. Just started playing B&M regularly (just turned 21 and I had to drive a huge ass distance to play before) and in the whopping 3 days I've played I'm down approximately $1,500 at $8/16. I've made about $1,000 playing online today, but damn does it still hurt [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Unfortunately for me, I'm a glutton for punishment and I really want to get B&M hours in (as much as possible) to see if I could ever feasibly make it as a B&M pro if I needed to (obviously not at $8/16, but $20/40+).

If this is the Bay 101 8/16, that's a really bad sign.

I'm the other way around. I've had a bad month online but a few good weekends at the B&M were more than enough to cover for it. I think it might just be because I've played more B&M last month than ever and it makes online play even more boring than it used to be. I hate to miss out on all the profits but online play just isn't doing anything for me right now.

The shirt has yet to make its B&M debut.

<100 bets? Is this really that big of a deal?

EDIT: I saw that this was all in 3 days--and the first 3 days this player has played live, at that. Is that what you're referring to? The size of the downswing doesn't strike me as that big of a deal, if it's a winning player's downswing and not, uh, standard "losing."

In a way then, it IS the shirt - more accurately the lack thereof.

I guarantee if you wear the shirt to a live session, your bets and raises will get more respect, and you won't get sucked out on nearly as much.

Oh, I'll wear it, I would have worn it last night but it hasn't been washed. Unwashed new shirts make me itch.
