Haven't made a blog post in a while, hopefully this one will be enjoyable.
I was running well/playing well (or so i think?) at 200nl, was running like 7ptbb/100 over 20k hands at one point. I had already begun taking very very small shots at 2/4 and 3/6 when there was a fishy table, etc. Very very confident in my game and my ability to win moneys.
But yesterday, I snapped :[. Something I thought I had under control since leaving 100nl - tilt. The downswings at ssnl are brutal it seems (well..anywhere, but still losing 4 figures isnt cool), so I made sure to maintain myself. I started off running pretty bad/making some bad bluffs at 200nl, and everything just went downhill from there. After losing roughly 2k, I spotted a juicy 3/6 table and joined it. Immediately I plunged myself into an even more painful anal violation.
My worst beat was here: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246793 (AA top set vs ATs runner runner flush, 600nl)
Prior to the session, I had cashed out 4k, which left me with roughly 4k to play with (for 200nl mutlitabling, standard, etc.). By the end of the night, I found myself with a little less than 1000. Feeling distraught, I began talking to my poker coach/teacher. He crushes msnl up to 2knl on ftp, but for some reason I do very well vs him hu (a week ago I had a losing day, challenged him to some hu out of frustration, ended up +2k on him at one point on 3 tables of 200nl hu, ended with +800). Needless to say, in my condition, and some random bullshit he bustos me (lol so much for a teacher  ).
So that was me, yesterday. Obviously here are some graphs. The HU session is not included.
(That's -160ptbb/100 for 600nl btw)
I got a 1k stake (my own money, basically) from my teacher, under the conditions that I will earn 5000 by September, otherwise I have to ship him 1500 back. If I succeed, I only have to ship 800 back. It's not that great of a stake, I'm really unsure in the time I have left I can get 5k without running hot again, and even if I succeed it's only a 200 dollar bonus to me. Regardless, my account was busto, and I needed money, so I took it.
My first day (4k hands in one day, 4-5 tabling only roflll) after the catastrophe looks like this: Apparently I'm like doomswitched for life in 200nl. I found the 100nl games incredibly soft for some reason, and I couldn't really take the stakes seriously so it kinda allowed me to open my game up and play 25/20 when I usually play much tighter than that.
So I'm off to a pretty decent start I guess. I would LOVE to say that I've finally learned my tilt lesson and whatnot, but really, you never know. Like I said, I thought I had understood the effects of tilt and how to control it long ago, turns out I was wrong and now I'm faced with being set back about 3 weeks in terms of income. Meh, oh well, here's hoping I get earn 5k (not counting stake money + rakeback) by september!

typical cashout --> doomswitch story
btw rakeback doesn't count towards the 5k you have to earn? that's kinda fucked |
