bye

I guess your downswing didn't exactly end.. ? take a break for a week or 3 and reprioritize?

<3 4 u sir

what happened dude?!

I've lost 75% of my roll in 5 days, I'm now playing 25nl... 0 confidence - I don't even believe I was beating the game and it was just a massive heater which is bound to happen when you play as many hands as me right?

Anyway this post was the result of losing 4 BIs to a maniac fish shoving any face card preflop, anyway I'm over it now and I'm going to grind 25nl and probably post some vids etc. If anyone wants to add me to msn to talk about poker/hands feel free dan@feener.co.uk because I could really use the help/guidance right now, although I doubt I can help much with your hands because I don't feel confident with my game.

ugh

I say if you aren't going to take a break just make sure you stay disciplined when the tilt monster comes around.. even that subtle background tilt that is basically impossible for you not to have right now.

i can probably help you, got msn or aim? pm me if you do, and don't quit, things always turn around.

Ugh. Sorry. You're not a fish though, GL with getting your confidence back!

fine. fish.

standard emo post

would you like to super-size your large fries of pity attention and big-mac of failure?

Hang in there fenner, you have the dedication to pull through this imo. Btw.. How is it you lost 75% of your roll in 5 days? =/

I lost 2/3 in 3 days (albeit at NL5/10), definitely went into hyperdepression mode till I dug myself out.

I can't help with the technical aspects of your game but I'll be happy to chat it up regarding mental control, and who knows explaining the logic behind elementary decisions to a lowly micro player might help your confidence (think teaching math to someone rather than just learning it, and how you have to really understand it to be able to explain it to someone, and how teaching someone math/physics/etc makes your own undersanding of the concepts that much more solid)

(yes I am trying to talk you into helping me w00t! <3)

man 25nl is not all that bad. u can build a br in a month for 100nl or even 200nl in less than 2 months. dont think about being in that limit as a "permanent" situation. just forget everything that's happened so far and forget all that you know about poker and try learning from scratch ( abc, weaktight nittying) then plugging holes and gaps as you go along. its not the end of the world, there is so much time to make it back again and even surpass what you've reached before. believe me.

standard variance + you never set stop loses for yourself

for now on set 4-5 bi stop loses and when u start an epic bad session or your playing badly, your session ends before your hurt too badly
