i woke up this morning ready to play and grind back some of the losses ive had over the past few days, only to find i play 230 hands and lose 2+ buyins. i am borderline on life tilt and i had to shut ALL of my tables the second after the last hand i played where i lose almost a buyin so stupidly i shouldve just fucking folded.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/458790 - can i fold this?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/458788 - stnd ss flip
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/458786 - shouldve folded, probly somewhat of a culmination of everything thats happened over this bad run, but not reflective of how ive been running except in th fact that someone always has me one upped, but i shouldve folded nonetheless.

i literally had to shut down ALL my tables the second that last hand happened to stop myself from just going on a tilt rampage and chasing losses, which i guess in itself is a good thing that i have the self discipline to do that.

FUCK

edit: not FUCK, because something i just realized about this downswing is it is teaching me maturity and self control. i was just talking to someone who i sometimes get irritated with even though its probly something i should let blow off my shoulders, and given how i feel and am effected by the loss i couldve just gone off, but i didnt, and for me thats certainly a step in the right direction as a person. i am really level headed, but i have a v bad temper when pushed too far, but i have cooled off a lot in the last 2-3 years, and this bad run leading to me kinda taking things in stride letting that irritation @ this time despite the downswing and dealing with it so to speak is showing me some things.

p.s. does anyone know how to put a custom picture as the background in pokerstars tables?

so i am left with 8300 in my BR, very well tolled still for NL200, and have currently hit a 13-14 BI skid. im not sure what to do bankroll wise, and i dont think moving down to nL100 will help ALL that much. but i would like to know LP's opinions since you all have been where i am now.

Poll: what do i do?
(Vote): NL200 til i hit 6k
(Vote): NL100 til i hit 10k

i dont think you misplayed either of those hands.

just keep at it, bad runs are standard.

properly rolled also, but why would you tilt? once you know that you can prevent it

i dont really tilt, but if i feel it coming on, i stop it before it can grow. why chance it, esp when im running bad. bas combo
