Today

Nuff said

At this rate I'm not going to survive January even if I move down in time.

Tomorrow no poker for me. Gonna study poker. I first thought I was out of my swing. Turns out I'm going down faster then before.

Regards

The only suggestion I can make really is that you go right back to basic, basic stuff. Obviously you analyse your database as well but get the play back to very very simple, even fit/fold and hand charts if you must. It's what I did and I certainly took some time to get my little brain around not trying to 'play poker' for a while. I was a nit but it worked for me.
If you can perhaps you could get someone to take a look at your db for you.

Veriz said to me if all the lines are going down your playing it wrong. Maybe not your case but certainly mine.

Hope you get it sorted out asap Ras.

This is what I was thinking as well.

And you know the +5BI day I was doing that. I wasn't a nit, but just cut out all the crap and all the fancy plays etc. But yesterday was just :facepalm:

KK<99 AI pre,
Straight ran into straight flush,
QQ ran into AA pre,
you know what I'm talking about. But thats all standard, the bad thing is that I start playing bad because of that crap...

Bleh No poker for me today. Just relax, study, read some golden compass :P I know it's a book for kids, but I like it :P

Hope you guys are crushing!

Well I usually bounce back, but not this time. I haven't had a winning month since the beginning of August. Lost more then half my BR I think since that. So I'm still on nl10. Yes that was a nl10 day.

But then again I shouldn't bitch n moan It's my own fault that I was losing a lot.

This is today

YEY what a nice day! And I didn't run really hot, but I played well and I'm really pleased with myself tbh! Looking forward to tomorrow!

Music for today I didn't know what song to post so I asked my GF and all of a sudden she says "Redemption song" I'm like :O :O I love you love :P How the hell does she know that song? :f_biggrin: So Enjoy my GF's pick

Happy grinding!

Lady: Do you smoke?
Man: Yes
Lady: How many packs a day?
Man: 3 packs
Lady: How much per pack
Man: £10.00
Lady: And how long have you been smoking?
Man: 15 years
Lady: So 1 pack cost £10.00 and you have 3 packs a day which puts your spending each month at £900. In one year, it would be
£10,800 correct?
Man: Correct
Lady: If in 1 year you spend £10,800 not accounting for inflation, the past 15 years puts your spending at £162,000 correct?
Man: Correct
Lady: Do you know that if you hadn't smoked, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after
accounting for compound interest for the past 15 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?
Man: Do you smoke?
Lady: No
Man: Where's your fucking Ferrari then?

Well but if someone stopped smoking would he/she depositing it? I don't think so, so it's not going to make a difference in bb's

I see your point Ras, was just saying that myself at some point started making calculations in my head of how much BB/100 I "spend" on smoking and didn't like the result . Obv it's not gonna make a difference if you quit, cause there's always stupid crap to waste your money on. And ofc once we reach NL1000 it's gonna be just change so :f_biggrin:.

Perhaps not, but when involved so deeply in an environment, you start to evaluate everything in the context of that environment.

There was a time in my life when I compared the value of everything to cases of beer. Now, however, If I buy a case of beer, it is "There goes another buy-in"

Best wishes for 2013

WOOOHOOOO another great day!

Yeah I'm back baby!

Time to go to bed. The GF already went to bed 2 hours ago, but that was a bit too early for me. Well she has to get up to study so she understands that I want to stay up a little later.

Night everyone!
