So apparently I'm very bad at poker. I wish I weren't bad, but its obviously true at this point.
I started w/ 50$ and worked up to very very large, happy, healthy BR. I was easily rolled for 3/6, but i stuck at 2/4 due to comfort and ease. At this point, i took a break and wanted to work on my starcraft game a bunch. Happily, I improved a ton and was satisfied  .
However, when i came back to poker, about 6 months later, I started to totally blow. Has this happened to you, where you take a long break from something when you were peaking, and when you get back, you feel invincible?
That's basically how I rolled. I felt like some "master of the cards" who would win no matter what. After an extensive period of slowly draining, I tried to take a step back and really examine my game. At this point, I just began to run like shit and, consequently, play like shit. After alternating bad playing and bad running, i soon discovered that i am, in fact, not a good poker pla<x>yer at all.
Thusly, i am now playing at 100NL trying to rebuild back to a reasonable level. In starcraft, I would practice like a machine. I would regularly play 14 hour days and the like (i went 53-0 on WGT in 1 sitting haha, how's that for being a loser?). Therefore, in poker, i'm easily able to play 10k+ hand sessions (as i did today!). If i learn how to stop sucking, this means i will be a millionaire in ~1 week haha.
in the bitching section, now comes the gay losses of the day (including my inability to win ANY coinflips haha)

this obviously does not include all the big pots that i lost
these posts are purely the posts which irritated me alot and the like.
recap of the day: won no coinflips, had bad timing with bluffs vs pla<x>yers who'd been making lots of moves, overcards either got no value or lost.
things to work on: getting better timing on when to check the turn to extract more value on the river or to induce more bluffs; not calling out of spite (ie he minraises a v.bet w/ a better hand).
its a miracle i broke even for the day 8].
and so i shall battle again tomorrow. 15k hands here i come

From 3/6 roll to .5/1? That's some swings.. Do you use super-safe bankroll management on account of your volatile style of play btw? |

He probably didn't lose all his money, but he just wasn't good enough to play 3/6 now so he is playing a easier level to regain his skills. Wow that is so sick 10+k in one day. i have to try it one day. |

No, he said in a hand comment that he was only rolled (properly) for NL100 :o
Oh well, I'm sure you'll destroy NL100 in no time Sean <3 |

and honestly my play isn't THAT volatile at all
i generally am constantly going up, and then the beats (as seen above) shoot me back down.
on a good day, i'll just slowly flow up, and have surges when i win allins
is pretty cool 8]
i play semi laggy (like 22/19 or something?) |

Here ya go.
No graph, though :/
I find it hard to believe that you're only rolled for NL100 after all those big pots that you won vs catcher3333 @NL400 a few days ago. Did you have a tilt session or what?
Anyway, gl rebuilding, you seem like a good player so I don't think it's gonna be a problem. |
