Was up 5.4k on the month before yesterday and after yesterday was down -80 dollars. How it is possible to do twice in the matter of weeks I do not know. 
 
  
 Words can't really describe how I felt after these 2 separate sessions. I basically played like 7k hands in the afternoon and lost 3k and was sad, hung out with a girl and then decided to give it another go and lost 2.5k more. After I finally quit I just layed in bed and contemplated what to do next. If there was ever a chance I was going to do suicide in my life, this was as close as I could have been. Luckily I didn't leave my apartment, didn't leave the bed, instead just loaded up a movie and tried to fall asleep. The feeling in my stomach was just an aching one and in my head was a feeling of doubt/wonder. Wondering if I could still win at poker again, wondering if poker was for me still, wondering if I should just quit and get a job and say fuck it. I really don't know If i can put myself through that again to be honest, and I am trying to figure out a way to fix this in the future. I have a bunch of bets still this month on me getting to 10k made at nl100 and I am still confident I can make it. After today I am up around 500 dollars total. The climb up will be harder now but it is one I think I can make and succeed at and ultimatly accomplish. I appreciate the many people posting kind words towards me through 2p2 and friends calling me to make sure I am okay. Defintly makes me feel better about the whole situation. I do thank the people that read and comment on my blog also! Until next time

Posts 1380 |  |  |  | | Since I think you're a pretty nice guy joe and I don't have any $ bet against you I'll give you some advice: Use a fucking stop loss at like 10 buyins, then QUIT that day if you hit it. I think you have some pretty sick potential if you kept a stoploss. Tough session but gl with hitting the 10k mark.

Nobody can really have a 54 buy ins downswing on these stakes unless you're making very obvious huge mistakes and/or have tilt issues |

| |  |  |  | | how does a stoploss matter. It doesnt matter when you play its the same EV. Not like you're going to run better in the next 10 hours.
