i feel so fucking shitty. i am so tired of running bad at everything i play. ive tried to move from one game to another in hopes i will run better @ something else. i quit playing FR cuz i suffered a sick downswing and never fully recovered and was running unbelievably awful. i handled it well, cuz i didnt mind running bad and i was just like w/e it rly sux but its a part of the game, so i just dealt with it. i began playing a little 6m then started getting into razz because one of my good friends has had massive success @ it and i was hoping to have something of the same. so i began playing it and visited his house so that i could chill w another poker player and my friend and learn from him. so i cashed out over half my roll and left myself with 4k. i played some 5/10-10/20 razz, which i hadnt realized @ the time i was slightly underrolled for, however it wouldnt have made much difference because i just ran like complete ass(he even looked @ my hands and confirmed) even tho i was playing pretty well. so i lost pretty much like 70% of my bankroll and was forced to play 2/4 and 3/6 at the highest. so i used 22.5k fpps to buy a monitor, then used the rest in hopes of playing 5400 fpp satellites. so i won like 5/8 of these and w a 2nd place finish in a razz tourney i got my bankroll up to around 2.7-3k. ever since, ive been playing razz rly well, tourneys rly well, and ive done nothing but fail miserably @ everything ive done. i havent run close to even in months, and i just feel like im such a failure. i see everyone have success except me. i put time into learning tourneys better and i feel im pretty decent tourney player and ive put a ton of effort into getting better @ razz, and while i feel im actually pretty good @ it, i cannot even rly play it anymore cuz my BR permits me to play like 3/6. not to mention even if i did win, i wouldnt win anything considerable. i always have a decent winning session, only to get smashed in the face next session i have and lose a shitton more. its the same cycle. my bankroll is a shitty 2.3k-2.4k and i have no idea wtf to do. i just feel so down in the dumps and pathetic. im not rly rolled for anything.
it isnt one of those things where i believe i run worst than anyone else. cuz thats silly, but i have been running so bad for quite a long time. i mean i know ppl have fun worst for longer, but everytime i feel like things should turn around and i begin to get hope im immediately reassured its false hope cuz i just turn around and fail again.
EDIT: i should also note i got shit going on in my life outside of poker that further drive this level of disappointment and dismay. they dont effect my poker game in any way.
i guess it is what it is.
o well, rant over.
-shane.
i used to like this band when i was way younger, and i still maintain they got some decent songs. this video is just so retardedly funny tho:
poker is not that great, been running shitty for a while now, seems like once i finish one bad run another ensues, but its poker. take care all and i hope u liked the video
i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on both of those particular games. mainly the difference in limit holdem and a basic strategy to go by if i wanted to jump into a 3/6 game for both. what hands are good to play/raise and how i should be approaching it from a strategy standpoint. also what general omaha8 hands are good starting hands. thx all.
im going up to jersey today to stay with wired_c4 til friday or so, and im going to further learn razz and hopefully be beating midstakes or decent stakes by time i leave, but i also plan to get into playing some more tourneys on ftp and some occasional ones on stars. i wanna cash out the remaining money i have in my accounts except for the amount i need. the tourneys on ftp i was looking @ are the 4 24+2's per night, and also the 55 1r1a and maybe the 33 1r1a. so in addition to the razz money ima need for my BR, which is probly somewhere in the range or 3-4k, will this amount also suffice for the tourneys i wanna play, this assuming im a winning player @ both. i would need i figure 100BI for tourneys, which 4k mostly covers, and also 150-200BB for razz. does this seem right to anyone or am i vastly overestimating something. if im wrong about either let me know, even if u dont know much about BR management for the other. thanks in advance
i just DLed the new shinedown cd, and it has some really sick ass songs on it. some really emotionally strong, heavy songs, most of which i can really relate to, and if anyone likes rock/shinedown, check it out, its definitely worth it.
all i remember from it is waking up thinking to myself WTF? the only thing i recall is being @ a chinese restaurant and opening a fortune cookie that read nothing but: "dominated hands"
this comes right after a bad night of poker lololol.
im wondering what would be more fiscally responsible? if i have the money available to buy an ipod touch, currently 34k fpps in PS store, should i buy that, or just continue saving for the cash bonuses. i cashed out 1k the other day to buy some shit ive been wanting because i had a good tourney score for 1900 for my friend, which he gave me 1k of it. i want either the ipod touch, or the video ipod(i think 80/160 gig if it exists, and i thought they had it in PS store, but the website said otherwise so ill see about that upon logging in. i want the video ones so i can watch DeucesCracked videos that are ipod compatible, but i want to go about buying it the way that saves me money and is smarter. if i dont go with the ipod online, i will go with the 1500 bonus and should be supernova or close once i reach 100k fpps.
PS-which ipod is better for video? ipod touch or video ipod? also which would be better for my needs(music and downloading videos from DC and watching them?) given the amount of space for costs?
