I've been around poker for a while now. probably over couple million hands played. supernova on stars every month back then when it was still around. money wise, ive probably lost this much when i took shots at 5/10, 10/20 once or twice only back then for -15k. However, I played like a complete aggro spewtard and lost all of it in a day swearing i would never do that again. Fast forward to today, ive been losing for 2-3 months now feeling all shooken up to that point where you question yourself about your game.

It all started early in the year. I was doing quite pleasingly well despite being out the game since black friday(April, 2011 for those unfamiliar). i deposited 1k on bovada and grinded up to 20k or so using my 1 check cashout limit for 3k each month. I remember saying this is pretty cool. "im gona play and get a paycheck at the beginning of each month like a normal job" Then it all started.

So here I am winning, feeling all confident about my skills and whatnot, take a shot at 5/10. Thinking "It's probably the same game just more money to be won." I enter two table cautiously, maybe a little too cautiously that i already feel like im playing scared money fml. But i dont want to go crazy like before and instantly drop a few buyins.

I still remember the hand that started it. I get JJ in the small blind "okay not so bad." utg+1 limps hi-jack isolates him for a pretty big raise like 60-65. Of course everyone is anonymous and i dont know what the hell is going on and just smooth call like the girl i am cuz i dont want to raise and get it in. Long story short I lose like half my stalk if not more to A-7 offsuit. not too long later i get stacked by some running straight of the sort and am stuck two buyins.

Okay, these guys are too good for me time to go back to my 2/4. grind all night and lose 3k there. log off and mope around for a week feeling depressed now (yay for poker). Dust off my shoulders and say im okay lets go again. play another 10+ hour session down another 2k. rinse and repeat till im down to like my last 1600 bucks. Time to swallow my pride move down $1/$2

Days go by and im ready again. Nope, i cannot win this tug-o-war and i see myself slipping nearer as i lose 1100 at $1/$2 today. O-joy i got 500 bucks left and fire up nl .5/$1 and lose about 100 dollars there after another long session. Maybe you only remember certain things you want to remember when you lose, but all i can remember is 3-bet pot, flop set, guy check folds. i got K-J on a J-x-x bored and crying call river and losing of course. I raise, get re-raised i fold etc etc.
Replaying all the hands that went to showdown in my head, the money won@showdown was not just not there. And unless you can play like isildur, what can ya really do?

So here I am now. 390 bucks left on this account probably soon to be busto. Don't plan on depositing again if it does bust. Hopefully I get my ftp money back soon and stars can come back so I can play on there again. Anyways, just another sad story here. Pre-black friday poker was so good and profitable for me. Quit for 2 years to play a little live, haven't quit got the hang of that yet either lol, come back to these anonymous 4 tables max and run like this.


CLIFFS :

-Won maybe 1 or 2 sessions in last 3 months
-Run bad (So I say)
-Busto?

8BI BRM+frequent cashouts. You don't run bad, it was very probable this would happen sooner or later.

93% Sure!

Sounds like you have a downswing of ~25-30 buyins... This happens to everyone from time to time.

You know you can look at your opponents holecards 24 hours later to see what they had right? I find this to be invaluable information for evaluating my play.

20k for 5/10 is pretty short. remember it's not like live where you're playing against complete noobs at 25-35 hands per hr. you're playing significantly tougher player pool as much faster hands/hr.

I've been playing since 2009, from limits of NL2 to NL600. I have never, ever, seen players as bad as I have on bovada. I missed the Moneymaker gravy train but always wondered what it must have been like. I can only imagine it was exactly like this. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Bovada is. You have to see it for yourself.

Good blog, sounds like you need an indefinite break from poker more than anything. Guys im pretty sure someone who's made this amount of profit from playing the game is somewhat aware of BRM and its repercussions. No need to tell him std. responses u need 20 buyins etc. etc.


kingpowa   France. Nov 06 2013 04:47. Posts 1525

When you go from 1k to 20k then lose the whole, you can't say that you have made any profit. Ok it's obvious you know that. But stating the obvious does not make it less true and possibly useful.

OP you started the blog with "However, I played like a complete aggro spewtard and lost all of it in a day swearing i would never do that again." and then presented the same kind of bad BRM. Imho BRM is your weakness. You know what it is, but you simply don't apply it correctly. I would say take a break, and think about a way you could have an effective BRM. Some need stakes in order to feel more implicated and avoid going "retardly aggro" (longple explained this in one of his blog).

and gl, wish you a great come back with your few hundreds left !
