NL10 got hard?
terrybunny19240, Dec 05 2008
Playing nl25 seems to of completely ruined me at nl10, what in the world?
I've been running pretty bad, but it doesn't explain all of it. Really weird IMO. Going to cut back down on tables and see wtf is going on O_O
December Coals
terrybunny19240, Dec 03 2008
I'm going to play atleast 100k hands this month!
I'm going to make 100+BI at NL10!
I will consider a prop bet starting the 10th for something like 150BI at nl10 by the 31st!
I will not play nl25 until I have completed 100+BI at nl10! Maybe not at all if I do a ridiculous prop bet for nl10!
Don't get coal from Santa!
Introspection. My weakness.
terrybunny19240, Dec 03 2008
I was grinding some nl10 just a second ago, and I called down in a spot where I knew it was very unlikely my hand was going to be good at showdown. There were a couple of hints or reads I put together by the time he fired turn and I said, "Looks like my hand is bad". But I called anyway, and then I called another barrel on the river.
I thought about this for about 5 minutes as I closed my tables to focus on what was going on in my head during this hand. I think I figured it out, and its something that cripples me in some way in every aspect of my life.. And poker is interesting because it brings this problem of mine into absolute full focus.
I am deathly afraid of being wrong.
This is something I already knew about myself, though I have never truly resolved to stamp it out of my personality and my thought processes. But I have to if I want to be successful-- and I do. I am a very ambitious person in a variety of areas. Of course, they all require complete confidence in my own abilities.
Which sucks since that seems to be my greatest weakness.
So I will begin working on myself through poker.. As a start to the renovation of myself in my approach to everything I do.
In poker terms, I know when my overpair is most likely no good. I am afraid to fold it and look like a fool (too who? Not sure). A number of times I've resolved to fold a hand when I shouldn't have-- a symptom of my problem-- and then was berated when I posted the hand. Which is fine; but my problem with this simple poker concept isn't that I am technically unsound.
So long as I keep this in mind and focus on controlling this part of my personality, I think success in other areas will follow.
Because hey, I know I am a pretty damn smart guy in the end.

I was thinking about..
terrybunny19240, Dec 02 2008
Being a total sad degen and grinding the hell out of nl10 this month (like doing my 100k+ hand goal at nl10 LOL) . I could do like $2k at nl10 and be like "boo ya" to all of you guys who are actually good at poker.
Then I could dig myself out of my poker ditch money-wise and start the new year comfortably.
God this would be so pathetic though.
Roll destroyed again.

Why? Sigh.
Another -4BI session (almost) right after my -4BI session yesterday.

What is up here? opinion please.

Seriously.
Blah, I'd love to be able to give advice and help people in return for the help I get here, but I am afraid to even comment on nl10 hands when its obvious that nothing from nl10 translates to nl25?
roll $496. <$500. Again. I have $162 in rakeback coming sometime.. bleh I don't know.
I've never won a dollar on FTP, I'm going to play some nl10(I can beat the rake and still make like 3BB/100 and this is just an experiment ) and see if I can even win there. Maybe I have some inexplicable, severe subconcious block at ever playing well at FTP.
December goal
terrybunny19240, Nov 30 2008
Well, the end of oct/beginning days of november were reallllly horrible. I pretty much dug a ditch I couldn't get out of in one month of nl25. So, since I'll never do that again, I figure I will start my monthly tally from when I moved to nl10 and began grinding back up.
I definitely feel comfortable at nl25. Finally. So that's cool. I've eaten some HUDGE beats which have caused me to break even during the 10k hands of nl25 I've played at FTP so far.. but that's alright.
This month at stars, NL25 started at ~30k or smth. Check out the little heater I had at the end:
FTP, all NL25: (FTP is rigged)
and a bit over $150 in rakeback.
Its time to set my goals for December.. I am done with this semester on the tenth. I really want to play a crapton of hands this coming month..
I averaged 581 hands/hour at FTP this month. I am going to be busy with finals/final paper until the 10th. So twenty(leaving out x-mas), 8 hour days is 93k hands...
Therefore my goal for dec. is 100k+ hands. I hope to surpass this but 100k hands and winnings + rakeback = $1k+.. Would make me happy/not make me feel like a failure. (except for how being such a marginal winner would be embarrassing as hell)
If I am successful and on the way my roll hits $1250 I doubt I'd have the discipline/enough reason to not take a shot at nl50, though. Maybe I'll mix in tables.
Wish my baddy self luck d00dz!
Please kill me now
terrybunny19240, Nov 27 2008
I can't explain how fucking angry I am right now. I spewed 1 bi, the rest is pure FTP raping me after I get it in good.
Why can't I not run like horse shit for one solid 24hour period?
God damn it, god damn it.. god damn it..

I thought I was going to have a brag post!
terrybunny19240, Nov 27 2008
But the day turned a bit upside down.. Was still good overall though ^^
Made a whopping 6BI and $20 in rake. Super hero is me!
My nonshowdown winnings aren't anywhere near as nice as they were at NL10. I'm not sure why. I will concentrate a bit on good spots to change this up a bit (of course not at the detriment to my overall game, but as an improvement). I am wondering what the average amount people are losing/winning a hand in nonshowdown at NL25 though.. if any of you would oblige. Full ring btw.
Pretty happy with the day, and the only reason my last session was -2BI was because of a ton of suckouts omg so much fail.
(graph is in PT3 for fun)
I farted and did not like how it smelled
terrybunny19240, Nov 26 2008
And that's all I have to say about that.
