Only a small update on my recent poker plans etc.

After 1 year of Poker and still not having made it i was thinking alot about what happend a few weeks ago.
I realized a few things :

1.) I will never make it big in Poker so i shall play more for fun than making fast money and i shouldnt set my goals too high
2.) I still can win some money even when i move up at slow pace
3.) maybe i should just play where i am a proven winner.

And thats the reason i stick to Nl 10 recently

Ive played lots of things in my almost 1 year poker career

Limit .10/.20 and .5.1
Nl 5 Nl 10 Nl 20 Nl 25 Nl 50 and a few hands of Nl 100
I played SNGS from 1.75$ MTTs to 10$ Mttts , 2$ 5$ and 10$ HU SNGS 16$ Mtts etc.
also played 3$ 5$ and 10$ tourneys

Nl20 and Nl25 have been what i played most the last months.
And to be honest even though i had lots of 20Bb/100 sessions on these 2 limits i am breakeaven longtermwise ...

f.e some older sessions

I am pretty sure i have an edge there concerning the pure cardgame skill ( i had like 30% of my sessions + 20/100BB there) but i lack lots of other things that keep me from winning big there. ( Like all the things around poker besides the pure game: Tilt control , Br management , moving down when loosing , not getting affectet by bad beats , playing A game constantly etc. )

for sure i ll give it another try when i am overrolled ! I know i can beat it and i have done it 2times for like 15buy ins in 20K hands each ...
but then when i got a downswing both times i totally broke apart and lost it all in like 5-8 k hands both times....
was so brutal combination of Downswing , Tilt and bad play.

So whats up with Nl 10
I have never lost any mentionable money on Nl10 ....
i had like 2x -2buy in sessions lifetime at it ... besides that i have like 50-70 winning sessions or so on it.
I was never ever in my life down more than 29$ at Nl10 in any session at any time.

I was always a big winner at Nl 10
And as u can guess my edge at this micro shit is brutal with 1 year of experience (4 month of Nl25/20 T_T)

where i am a proven losing player ?
SNGS and MTTs

dont know how much i am down at them lifetime but its probably like 200$ over a sample of 800 or so. with an average 5$-10$ buy in.
know thats not a big sample size but i suck at them since u have to win all-ins with the better hand which i don t.

SO my plans :

1.) play for fun more and never play when not in the mood + play on pokerstars since its the best software by far
2.) grind Nl 10 and dont move up even when rolled
3.) never ever play sngs again !

SO FAR

3 days of NL10 pokerstars
~ 2,5 K hands 60$ profit ~ 14bb/100

And a nice Pokerstars skin
