So I bought a new monitor today but found out I was out of milk so I smashed the mother fucker. Hah, j/k, but got you to read my blog.
In reality, I just went busto playing live..... sigh.. I dunno what happened. Lost a big hand after repopping a lagtard BTN raiser (they have these live? Whats the world coming to) with AJ and he calls my cbet on a JT3 board with A3.. turns trips but I turn nut flush draw, i c/r him allin and fail to connect. Some other loose passive but nitty postflop player decides he's going to squeeze a 5way raised pot with 98s in the CO and I get stuck in the middle with JJ. Fold flop, just bleeding chips is all. Later I try to bluff him off his gutshot but he rivers bottom pair for the win. And again when he floats flop with AK high. I had to call him out on that one since he was the initial raiser and I 3bet him. He said "I had to defend my hand", and I'm just like "wtf?" How do you defend by check-calling with air?
Nothing particularly spectacular though. Just a bunch of chip loss from missed draws and shit.
I'm glad this happened though. I thought I was going to have to dedicate myself to live play so I'd have an edge at the stakes I want to play instead of grinding it out at nonsense micro stakes. Since live is just as variance heavy as online, and since I apparently dont have any edge, I might as well go back to playing online. I'll just spend the rest of my poker career donking off at NL400 once a month until I run hot.

Hahaha first line was pretty awesome.
Seriously though, microstakes isn't really nonsense. The money is irrelevent; what's important is that you gain the discipline to go through it. |

In all reality I'm not actually broke. I have 3 BI's left, but after losing so much tonight I basically feel I'm on course to being busto, so I'm just gonna throw in the towel now. I mean 3 BI's wtf, no point. I think I have one shot at middle stakes left in me. When that fails guess I'll have no other purpose left than to grind small stakes. I will have tried absolutely *everything* to get rich quick. |

How bout playing poker for fun instead of money?
Its really great when you get the priorities straight. I don't want to get rich, I want to make sick calldowns, bluff people all in, pound on that weak reg and make him cry, chat with people, and make thin big bluffs and shoves, and OWN, no matter what limit I play.
Whenever I forget this and I start multitabling, or playing too much, or 'PLAYING FOR MONEY' or hourly I stop thinking about the right things and I am fucked, enjoymennt wise and winrate wise.
Its really great when you go play at NL10 with 700 buy ins, and you don't care, you don't spew no matter what happens, you are there to play poker.
You have a job, thats for money, and you should play poker for fun and for the game itself. So I say get that BR Management sorted, forget about the money and enjoy this awesome game  |
