ive decided to take another long break from poker. what i really mean is, i will cashout 4k and just rebuild whatever's left of my BR. it's been two months now and psychologically i cannot continue playing if the results are like this over a decent sample already. i just cannot win big pots anymore it seems, im getting the "it's fucking rigged" paranoia again and it's just not good for my game anymore. i regret having redeposited my 3750 back to pstars now, and im not making another mistake by playing it some more. now i have 715, which is good enough for 25nl grinding, i cant see the fun in poker when you don't win at ALL each session. oh well just a vent, im getting sick of this game already. and i can quit playing totally if i get a decent idea for a business or something. better focus on that for now. peace and goodluck to all you guys.

way to slow yourself down, oh well, your problem, seems like you can't handle poker variance

Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy

comeon dude, stick it out at 50NL FR... im finding it kind of swingy but even im confident of beating it fairly easily its just a matter of not getting urself down and if you continually get your money in good you will win heaps. i wouldnt be suprised if you hit a big heater some time soon, they seem to come in patches of downswing/upswing anyway

Judging from the progress of your blog, it is preety evident, that poker isn't for you.
You play waaaaaay to conservatively, and in addition, you can't seem to handle the variance.

I'm not trying to kick you while you are down, just my 2 cents.

Live, and let live.

you should play at least half as much as whamm does before you can come up with suggestions like these..

i guess ill go back to playing less and less hands again because ever since i got caught up in this supernova fever, ive noticed that im more prone to tilt and not paying attention to how i run, winrate etc. before i used to take a break after a couple of coolers but recently i seem so bullheaded that it's gotten me into more bad spots/plays. well atm i just finished my 25nl session and im up 4bi after playing 700ish hands. stopping for the day and playing some cod4 because im getting good at it (lol). 10 levels to go before 5 star general haha

my money is still with moneybookers atm, so my relative BR is live 4800 now. im just gonna grind some more micro at some other site too and rebuild it up to 6000 and go back to playing 100nl. gonna clear this 285 bonus too so i hope things work out better this time.
