I found Jurojin from the thread somewhere here. I really like the software. It has pot odds calculation and I realize that I haven't calculated pot odds preflop and I have played too tight for that reason. It's also very cheap to use. I prefer that for you if you are multitabling. It automatically arranges tables and has hotkeys etc. as well.

Hmm..what else do I have than AA?
I run out of money so I had to withdraw 100 USD. I have a bankroll of 116β¬ right now..not much. But I will deposit that 100β¬ next month when I get the money. I have played cash and some tounees as well as sit n gos. The best game is 6 max hypers so I should continue with them. Sometimes just don't have feelings to play. Should play 8-10 hours per day but now I have a volume of only 3 hours per day. Today I try to play 8-10 hours again.
Cash games doesn't go that well, but I have crushed nl5. Nl 10 is not going that well.
I played too high and went broke. Now I have deposited 100 EUR and I am playing again. I play nl5-nl10 cash games in Olybet GG client. I have 170 EUR now. This time I learned my lesson and I won't go too high stakes anymore.
Hey Afftlr,
As a person who has been dealing with going bust for the past 10-15 years I know what you are dealing with.
What really helped me after a long break, is playing on PokerStars where you can exclude yourself from playing certain limits and games.

You can do the same in all GG Clients as well!
Thanks. I went broke 3 times in 3 months. Now I will keep playing small games until I have enough bankroll.
I took a break from blogging as I had a terrible downswing. Now I try to blog from time to time from now on.
I lost my bankroll 3 times in 3 months. Now I will play the smallest games I can find until I have the bankroll to invest in bigger games. I will start playing PLO 2 and a max of 5 USD games with a 200 euros bankroll. My graphs show positive in small games (nl2-nl5) but had a terrible run in nl 10 and nl 25. Lost a total of 600 euros in 3 months playing Hold em.
I fell in love with the pot limit Omaha. I am considering buying the GTO tool from Range Converter and watching a lot of videos to get better. I haven't played Omaha before, but for some reason, I feel like I play it better than Hold 'em which I have played on/off about 15 years. I think the biggest problem is tilt control and bankroll management as well as bad river calls. Especially in small stakes Omaha games they NEVER bluff on the river. Always value expect some maniacs who have like 80 VPIP. I like the fact that Omaha is a very nutted style of game as I am a pretty tight player overall so I like it. It is also very complex and variance is higher, but with good bankroll management, I should win. I try to find GTO ranges to play but right now I am still a NIT. It's not optimal so I have to learn more.
I have watched some of Kyyberis, and JNandez's videos and planning to get to run it once essential which is only 25 bucks. I try to play exploitative poker and play GTO against regulars and nits.
So my dream is still alive to become a poker pro. I don't have a job right now, so I can focus on playing poker. I have a couple of websites like an Amazon affiliate site but I am too lazy to build it up and it is pretty boring to do. I have used an AI tool to create articles, but SEO is hard, and am not sure if it even ranks on Google so the work can go in vain.
That's all for now!

Ok ty. I have to restrict if I ever play too high again. I play mostly in GG as they have a 50% rakeback campaign going on.
I think striktly BRM is the key to solve your problems. The are many videos about BRM. But it is not only to look at them. I think important for you is to exclude from the higher stakes. And when the BR is great enough you can go the next step. And then set a stop where you say ok I have to go back. There was a nice blog from a German player Ossenberg. He needs over 1 year to reach $1000 and climing up. And sometimes he was going down.
Mayebe you should additional read "Mental Game of Poker".
And I think sometimes it is good to be honest to yourself. Maybe your are not good enough for the higher levels? Learning enough?
Look at me. My bankroll is big enough for higher buy ins. But I'm playing on $0.50 SNG until I bet them. Why? Playing on higher stakes is burning money and only other people are happy. Ok I could not take money out of my account but I did nothing invest the last 2 years and have a hobby for free.
Good luck on you yourney and I will follow you.

Thanks for the post! To be honest I think that if I can't beat micro stakes after 15 years of playing poker it's better to quit and do something else. I know that I can beat the game if I have good bankroll and if I don't tilt. I just listened mental game of poker from Amazon Kindle. Hopefully it helps. I am confident with my Omaha game even though I would like to practice GTO post flop and Range converter is only preflop. I should buy PLO mastermind from Jnandez but it is too expensive for me right now. I just play nuts or close to nuts and the game is going well right now.
If I lose this month I think I am going to take a break at least.

I switched to turbo-speed sit-n-gos and seems like the downswing is over at least for now. Variance in hypers is just so brutal. I will play Turbos for now. It was good to play hypers to learn short stack play. Maybe I play later but now 8 tabling turbos. I won 20 bins in 2 hour session so seems to go well. I try to play 6-8 hours per day. Looking good.
Awesome graphs! π
Fingers crossed the luck stays on your side! π€π
