Grinding Pennies

People chatting near or talking with you when playing is one of the great tilt causes. My wife and daughter always said: Could you not stop a while and answer us.
I'm don't take poker seriously and don't like to play hours, but, when I sit to play I would like a minimum of respect

I completely agree, over the last week it's happened a few times to me, a family member came in my room chatting away, next thin I know I've made 2 treble barrel bluffs with pure air on a double paired low board 🤣

OMFG WHAT AN IDIOT I AM, is the statement for this little story, I have roughly 2k bankroll, I decided to take a shot at NL400 i lost a little bit to start with then flew up to €1300-€1400, there was another player with about €1000, i was playing very loose to my standard they was giving up pots very easy, anyway I raise with K7 get called, i needed a wee, so i took my phone to the toilet popped it on the side, the hand checked all the way to the river, a K landed, so I made a bet and carried on weeing, (I expected a fold) I finished using the toilet and went to grab my phone, a split second before I grabbed my phone, the guy shoved all in, and I accidentally called while picking up my phone, I could not believe it, he turned over AQ for the nut straight.

You could imagine how I played after that bone headed move, it's strange, I tried not to let it bother me but there was no chance, even when I won back half of what I lost my my frustration just took over way too much.

Bankrolling £814 😥

This has proper gutted me, I have £140 in cps I'm thinking about drawing it off and starting over, since I'm not sure if I can play very well after that.

I'm gonna give it 20-30 mins on NL100, see if its affected me.

The tankroll challenge is an aggressive game but once a player reaches the target amount, the game is finished with the profits banked. But not in your case. You continued playing until the inevitable happened. We all could see that coming, sooner rather than later. But I admire your balls, and while I haven't seen you play, you could be a very good player, and could do well in the future, if only you managed your bankroll less recklessly.

Your probably right, I just wanted to try and skip the Micros, and start with a decent bankroll.

I've been on pretty bad tilt since that happened bankrolling about 300.

I'm going to have 1 more go with a more aggressive approach move up at 2 buy ins and down if I lose half to a full stack ✌, if I fail I'll take your advice and start at the bottom with £10 at NL2.

Maybe I can get a screen recorder and show you?

I hope you keep following it's nice to have feedback do you have a blog?

P.s it's not over yet 😜

Hi Elf
Just seen your back on the tables and blog. Looking forward to seeing how you get on in your tankroll. I stay away from playing poker on the phone, always have nothing and when I do get a hand the phone rings!
Screen recording wise a great program is OBS studio, even if your not looking to stream it is great at capturing your games.
Stay safe and GL at the tables
