I quit

looks like your going to showdown too much and with that af your w$wsf should be higher

at least you can beat microstakes

i've felt this way a million times

ur stats definitelly show many many flaws in your game.

Do you remember that since the first day you played poker i told you to stop whining? it was because i could foresee your future tilt issues that you have now, maybe u should get away from cash games or maybe u should decide if poker is what you want to do with your life, its a tough game.

man.. dont quit.. this sample of hands is just too small to make any conclusions.. if your sick from the game just take a 10-15 days total rest( i mean no poker related shit at all) and than start again on 100nl. im sure ull make it

same thing happening to me (on a much smaller scale money wise) and i just stopped playing since friday, taking a break and you probably should to.

you tell him baal! 8)

everybody gets frustrated. cut down to 4 tables and re-evaluate why you might be losing.

Your stats paint you as weak tight, your won$ WSF is very low. you should try and get it up to mid 40s, anything below 40 is unacceptably low imo, and indicates that you're folding too much postflop, espcially considering that you're playing such a tight range preflop.

If you want to open up your game more, look at your attempts to steal number. Not only is it very low, but u steal less at the higher stakes. You need to be more agressive in position.

If you're going to play such a tight range of cards, all the regs with PAHud are going to notice that. You can use that to get alot of credit when you do play a hand. I'd guess you're not 3betting nearly enough. Use your tight image to pull off some bluffs on people that are smart enough to fold, both preflop and postflop.

thats one of the most painful read ive had in a while, and by that i mean i wasnt feeling your pain at all, it was just painful to see you whine this much
seriously. i know its your blog and you do whatever you want, but i mean people read blogs too, and you should take that into consideration, if you want to vent about random shit that doesnt make sense i wouldn't do it for everyone to see.

you have leaks. you don't run worse than anyone, and you haven't played enough.

you've made a lot of money in tournaments and have had one of the best starting poker career out of everyone on this site, you have no reasons to whine, none.

get off life tilt - be grateful for what you have and work on your game. if cash games tilt you too much, give them up for now, or I would recommend you to play at lower stakes and fix your game there for a good sample.

I know how this feels, and any grinder who has played a good hand sample of cash games knows that feeling. It's not easy, sometimes it might seems like poker is easy money and when everything is going well you take it for granted, so when the shit happens (and it will, always) it hits you even harder.

Take a break, sounds like you could use it. Just relax.

why are u playing 1/2 cash? like, werent u at 10nl or 25nl then hit up a bunch of tournies? u should have stayed at lower stakes (if im right)

yeah ironically you have been one of the luckiest players on this site heh.

vpip/pfr is fine, i play tighter than that in 6max. preflop dont really matter. altho ATT to steal is very low and can easily be bumped up at least 10% w/o affecting ur game that much.

for postflop i think ur WWSF is bad u def need to take down more pots with ur vpip/pfr

WTSD at 30% is bad. either ur being a bad callin station or too passive postflop and go to showdown too often. u should be winning tons of pots w/o showdown

W%SD is very bad, based on vpip/pfr its gotta be in the 50%+ range

your went to showdown seems too high imo and your won $ at SD is too low. Also your AF is pretty high..... which isn't a bad thing unless your losing...

I'd try checking/calling more in general, aka use pot control with weaker hands etc.


vpip/pfr are completely relative to how good you are, if your not winning don't attempt to play loose.

That said a 20k hand sample means nothing and you need to learn to stay where you can win and move down.... -6 buys at nl100 so you move up? then you lose 3,900 at nl200... That shouldn't happen.

You feel this way because your not going about poker correctly, the first step to being a winner is knowing where you can win. If you attempt to play out of your skill set, your obviously just setting yourself up for a downfall. Which makes you a gambler, and gamblers always end up losing.

just take a break, u haven't played very many hands

pretty irrelevant whether or not you're running bad

stick to tourneys.

lol, what are you talking about??!?! this is 20K it could be just a variance, i have been struggling for 130K hands, and then everything just changed and i recovered in a week.

lol cmon, a 20k hand downswing and you want to quit?

jesus how did you ever get to 200nl

take a break and go back to donkaments

I'm glad I had my 25buy-in downswing on NL10

you seriously complain too much
you just had more than 25k in tournaments winnings
go back to lower stakes and work on your game ;/, everybody has terrible downsings

lol@wanting to quit after a $4k downswing over a ridiculous amount of hands...
Loco's very right when he says that every serious grinder has ever experienced this sort of shit you'd better get used to this feeling cuz painful downswing are unfortunately not once-in-a-lifetime problems.
GL strato

the best of luck bro tho
you're are a really good tournament player for sure

don t know you m8, but i do know this feeling and we are not here to share bad beat story..there are always worst than you in poker and in life...focus on good things now, make some sport and relaxation, get a real life with joy and share some good moment with friends..take a break...if it s give you such a bad feeling,..
