Bleh. Well I shouldn't say life. Poker is not my life, and the way things look it may not even be a part of my life pretty soon. The downswing ensues. I moved to fixed limit (this is what I used to play predominantly). I realized I was about 4k VPP away from Platinum Star for this month so I figured I will grind my way to it through FL since I can get more hands in and it's higher rake.

Needless to say, my down swing followed me to FL and I lost 120 BBs there so far. It's kinda fucked up to run like shit for two weeks. Sick game. Perhaps I need to start sucking my bosses dick to get a promotion there, because I don't think professional poker is something I can really aspire to. I swear to god I run bad more than I run good. I had my first heater ever back in beginning of this month and I've been playing hardcore since October.

Anyway, whine blog over. Had fun at mardi gras last night and I'm going out downtown on Friday and then to Vegas next weekend. Gonna watch some FL videos on DC. Hopefully danzasmacks monotone voice doesn't put me to sleep so I can actually learn something.

making decisions based on vpps is a terrible idea.

Move down if you must, but just watch videos / read articles and figure out your leaks imo.

edit: The marginal increase in FPPs made is very small compared to the real $ sacrifices you make.

Half Pot!
