life tilt by Royalsu

hmmm i'm quitting poker once again. I don't have what it takes to control my tilt sessions. This exact same thing happened near exam time last semester too.

In two months I turned 2k into 26k at 200nl but this last week has been brutal. I lost 30 buyins at 200nl in one day and managed to make some of it back. Then I decided that since no one folds at 200nl I'd move up to 400nl. I ran super hot winning close to 10 buyins in 2000 hands but then in a span of 20 minutes I was down to even again. I then played 12 hours of solid poker with no tilt and made 4k. Today I just dropped 6k at 400nl and my bankroll is at 10k.

In one infamous 30 seconds of tilt I donated 1.5k headsup to this one guy when I pushed A6off on a QJ4 flop and he insta calls with KQ for 1400$ pot. Very next hand I get it all in on a J444 flop with 88 when he obviously has a Jack in his hand (also a 1400 pot). So this shortstack with 240 ends up with a nice 2k stack. GG me.

i've cashed everything out and I'm going to focus all my energies on school again. I've really enjoyed this community and the guys I met in vegas are awesome dudes. However, I'm going to have to stop reading liquid for my own good because everytime I read hand histories I have an urgent need to go play some poker.

I can crush 200nl and 400nl eventually, but I can't beat this game called life.

I hope you guys don't miss my hand histories too much.

loosing 30 buy ins in 1 day is sick.

anyways gl.

sorry to see you go but ive witnessed your tilt and its some wild shit.

today i lost 2 buy-ins at NL10

then went to the shops and bought 12 buyin-s worth of clothing

life as a professional NL10 balla is good.

hey mate - tough stuff. But i am quite sure i used to play 25 and 50NL with you 1.5 years ago and you now have 10K - i still play 50NL with 3k. So you have done well and obviously have a good aptitude for poker. You will be back. Believe me there are more important things in life than poker and money.

I always thought ur the best 200nl player here... didnt know about ur tilt problems but obviously your doing the smart thing.
good luck.

dont delude yourself into thinking that life isnt run by money and what it can buy yourself and your family(happiness)

good luck in all your future endeavors

family are the most important thing - mostly the health of your family members and yourself. you'll learn this one day when you have a family of your own. Money makes life easier though for sure - but i can guess that the expression money doesn't buy happiness is spot on.

QFT

I pulled a double-miracle marathon session today

7,077 hands that went like

-down 6 buyins
-up 6 buy-ins
-down 5 buy-ins
-up 5.25 buy-ins
-quit

Such an exhausting shitty session and all through it I was just thinking about what life would look like if I had stayed in college

Then I won back my losses for the second time, tipped over a quarter of a buy-in in the green, calculated my winnings and saw that I still made over $30/hour

My parents both have degrees and have been working their whole lives and neither of them make even that much

You'll be back

i really cant play during exam times i am just too stressed out but im too degen i still wanna try it

sux but best option imo i just cutting out poker during these times

you'll be back
good luck

the key is MODERATION

When ever someone says something like this, they aren't thinking very well at the given time

good choice :-)
