Once Daniel Negreanu said that when he is tilting, he just opens a table of NL2 and goes all-in every hand, untill he calms down. This might be a heavy strike on your bankroll since you are not Daniel Negreanu, but you can go and do the same thing with play money))) Usually, if I manage to crack AA, KK and JJ in a 4 way all-in with 7-8s, my tilt just disappears in seconds (it once happened to me). I take a good laugh, and say „it's enough poker for me today” ...

And yes...I have the same problem... Today, I was playing from my phone during my break. I got dealt 3 times AA in 30 minutes (and KK QQ a few times, but nvm). My first AA was cracked by KK (and I don't fkn know why didn't I just cash out 191BB), my second AA was cracked by KJs. And my 3rd AA was cracked by unknown hand, since I folded them on the river, investing 80% of my stack). Unbelievable tilt... If I was not in a public place, I would do something destructible.

And guess what happened after another 30 minutes... I got dealt AA again. And look at this

Now I can return to my work xD

Good luck on your challenge!

P.S. being dealt so many premium hands, I just don freakin understand why did I collect only 6003 points in the leaderboard... HOW?!?! JUST HOW?! People with 6700+ ARE YOU BEING DEALT ONLY ACES AND KINGS OR WHAT??!

I know what you mean, I had what I thought was a really good run of cards with premium pairs and a lot of suited connectors and still only managed about 6200 points. It got me a small cash, but anyone getting 6700-6900 points must be laughing their butts off every hand they are dealt.

Don't be making all this money without telling us :f_p:!

To busy grinding for updates?! Time must have become serious money now at the high stakes..

I won't be seeing you on Stars anymore, I had to move to GGPoker!

Oh yeah I remember the hand where you had QJ for a straight and I checked back trip Kings on the river haha... you where check-shoving? Well that's the only hand we played I think. You must have been like WTF!! haha

Ok.
Busted last challenge, decided to play for volume and experience.
Played from 2NL to 25NL thanks to leade rboards on PS. Was trying to get at least 300 hands per limit per day.
I need to work on my game a lot :f_biggrin:
Starting again, same goal for this year.

Starting BR: 101,57 $
Target BR: 750 $

Bankroll management: 20BI for upper limit, under 10 BI, going back :)
Also will play for leader boards at higher limits, if I have at least 10BI for that limit.
Atm NL2-NL10

Good luck to me again! :f_drink:

no worries, real life comes in our way here and there.
GL this week, it only takes one big upswing with an aggressive BRM to climb the limits!
