- "I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor...That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor, and surviving" -
So while running wild and crazy up the limits and hitting a wall I took pause for a moment. I decided I had a good run, and I needed to have something to show for it. So I cashed out pretty hard. I had what seemed to be a rather working style, at least working when table conditions were just right. Right before cashing out I decided to change a few facets of my game in response to certain players at the table I wasnt winning against. My new strategies were no good and only caused further losses. I think I switched up my game one more time with no success, so I stopped and grabbed what dough I had left and made a run for it. I left myself rolled for NL200 and took some seriously bad beats against against some maniacs, which I always told myself to avoid on a limited bankroll. By then my tiny roll was a complete mess and I lost the drive.
I was left with $18. I got a little rackback which brought me to $50, so thats where I'm out now. I decided to try my hand at the dollar table SNG's. I've boooked about 60 and I have..... $53. Just doin the ole sitout until bubble style and then shoving constantly. Fish seem to really hate being pushed around and start spite calling me with J5o and stuff just to knock me out I guess. Sometimes I have a hand and get sucked out on, sometimes I dont. I have a TON of bubble finishes, which is pretty frustrating. I would rather get knocked out in 5th or 6th where it's understandable for them to play a lot looser. But goddamn these people will throw away their entire tourney on a junk hand just to say "bye bye" when they stack you with trash. I dont think I really want to play these things anymore. I dont have any particular experience or insight into winning them. Think I read an article on ICM a year ago and just understand to use my FE + dead money while the short stacks wait on each other to donk out. Whats the worst is I keep finding myself seated to the right of some deepstacked idiot making it impossible to steal.
Technically I have enough roll to go back to NL10 if I one-table, so I guess I'm gonna start doing that again. I took $200 to $3000 in a single month before, so I should be able to hit $1000 with this roll 
Just hoping I havent forgotten how to play cash. I was hoping to be quitting my job by fall or winter, lawl. But I'm glad I decided to have some fun with my earnings. Was able to book a trip with my homeslice for a week in a nice 4 star hotel, all expenses paid, and buy a blu-ray player with wifi built in and netflix capable streaming which is ridiculously badass. First movie watched, PRIMER.
Which brings me to the conclusion. EVERYBODY WHO READS THIS MUST GO WATCH THE MOVIE PRIMER RIGHT THIS SECOND. Holy fucking christ I will be watching this movie a good 2 times further before I fully understand it. If you liked the time travel odyssey that was Donnie Darko, you will LOVE primer. Darko was a bit more mysterious and creepy, but primer is just downright utterly fascinating. I cant begin to do justice to this film by describing it, so any geeks who love complicated science fiction time travel with a script that doesnt "dumb it down" for the general masses will be talking about this movie for weeks.

Primer is really good. Wish the creator would make more films. |

I wish you could one day actually use BR management, play micros and understand the basics of poker while moving up naturally.
Unless poker is just a fun game you play here and there with little to no ambition to get good at it, then I guess you have a fun ride |
