So my downswing continued and after two KK vs AA pf, one AK vs JJ (guess the flop...)pf, one flush over flush and 5 straight walks with AA (ok, I managed to raise one in between, get 3 callers and a 588 flop where the worst nit on the site went crazy) I've come to the conclusion that I sure as hell ain't making money playing 3/6 and higher when I'm running bad. I won like 22k during the first one and a half month I played it though so I pretty much think that I'm at least not outclassed. However, sooner or later one will have to face all the facts and do what needs to be done, in my case moving down to rebuild. I was still rolled for NL600 (somewhat, 40bi or so) but I withdrew most of it and left myself with 6k euro (I'll get a pretty big rakeback to, so it's effectively like 8 or 9k I think) and I'll just grind 1/2£ for a while.

It's nice to have a bread and butter limit where I know that I'll pretty much win no matter what and I'm pretty sure I wasn't meant to play high stakes anytime soon anyway. Even though some of the regs I see at 5/10 pretty much sucks it's not like if I'm as good as any of the high stakes players here on LP. Give me a year or so though, then it might be different.

I've also made two of decent MTT-scores lately. I got 6 in a 6k grtd for like 370 USD last night and I got 83rd or something in prima's 175k grtd last sunday for 250 USD or so. The players seem to suck in mtt's and even though I mostly have no idea about anything in those some of the plays was just horrid so I'll look into trying to play more of those.

Anyway, I guess my discipline gets better and that's always nice.

Cheers!
