Well thats what i was thinking... i was sitting with so loose ppl yesterday so i tightened up... The problem is when you are not hitting ♦ Try to bluff those guys.. Meh.. My red line is making me crazy again..
I also had two very loose player on the same table this weekend. I tried to isolate one of them with AKs by 3betting allin. Original lag raiser called with A2o and he hit the 2 on the flop.
Then few hands later I had QQ on Button and again isolate the lag raiser, he called the allin with A5o and he hit the A on the turn. This loose player put me on tilt. Grrr.. He ate most of my winnings for my session. 
im taking today off. there isnt many tables and im tired and i cant find the motivation.
@tac3znarf: personally i dont tilt if others are making the mistakes. i just look at the ev line on the graph and that cheers me up usually.
however if i myself am making a lot of mistakes that can easily make me tilt.
Hi again Raun.
I have moved to Odense for a couple of years ago where I am studying Ha.dat. It could be very nice with a sweatsession indeed and I could probably learn a ton ! I play Nl50 - NL75 sss and I think my true winrate is about 2-3bb/100. I have also been following tac3narfs blog and he also seems very competent. What about you? where are you from?
good luck on the tables!

- i also resteal, squeze, 3bet vs a loose isolation raiser: quite loosely.
but of course it all depends on the opponent. i have seen people who isolation raised so loosely and folded such a big part of that range that i think i could 3bet any 2.- i dont worry overly much about balance and especially not when up against a fish or an unknown. so im not shy of making a c/r in a spot i would allways cbet if im up against an aggressive fish.
i never tried this resteal, ill have to work out spots and try this one
playing imbalanced against a fish with all the tags watching is a good thing as they get wrong reads on u and will call you more often imho
Hey bro, i hope you will find a motivation again!
Taking a day off isnt bad at all.. I do the same 
Good luck!
Hello raun.
You should put a link to your blog to your signature, so more people find out about it. Like me for example, because I don't look to often in the blog forums, I have only some in which i posted and I enter when there is something new.
Cheers and Good Luck! 
well i would but when i try to insert the link it isnt inserted as a hyperlink (or whatever it is called) that you can just click on. its just the full address.
so i just thought f*** it and gave up. too much of a hazzle.
its weird though cause it seems to be working for everyone else.
@ juice i hope so too. cause right now poker is boring.
@ gabin i dont think your suggestion of switching to bss is the answer. im sure i wouldnt be able to find the motivation to study it. i just think poker in general is boring me.
sometimes its a nicer feeling to stand at the buttom of the mountain and look up than at the top of the mountain and look down.
you know what i mean? because then you have something to strive for
i mean of course i havent really reached "the top of the mountain" but i think its kinda that feeling anyway. i have no great ambition of improving and climbing much higher anymore.
edit: sorry for the ninja edits.
Just look in the top left on the forum (under home). Choose your profile, then choose edit signature, then options under the text box, then UNcheck disable BBcode in sig.
Hope it help otherwise ask again.
Here! Quote me, then copy all the "here"
Click Options and uncheck the the middle box (bbcode).
Copy, paste, change the name. All done!
Hmmm i think i know the feeling ... It helps to change something.. Site for example..
Its obvious we all need to see something ahead.. And when you are struggling or playing BE or you do all the same things again and again its hard to be motivated.. :/
But hey, at least we have each other guys 
yeah i guess you are right juice. first thing i will try is start playing nl400 and maybe some nl600 again, that should increase my total winnings and my motivation i hope.
thanks for the technical advice guys and thanks for the support as well. i really appreciate it.

Sky's the limit!
Don't limit yourself to a tiny mountain ♠_biggrin:
The best of luck!
i tried playing some nl400 and nl600 tables today but it was still pretty much just as boring. i finished -95$ in 200 hands.
i think im getting to a point where its stupid to play. im just not motivated enough and also quite bored while playing so i dont pay enough attention.
i need to take a break until i get some motivation back.
cant say for how long but it could be a while i guess. or maybe just a week. i dunno.
cya!
edit: i just thought of something. it could be that i suffer from winter depression because that is quite common here and i have been feeling quite tired.
mood: 
depressed
december:
hands played 5120
net win: 770$
ev win: 835$
RB: 110$
bb/100: 8,10
Total winnings: 880$
target incl RB: 3000$
just ordered a time with my doctor so i can find out if it is winter depression or not.
if it is then i will get one of those special lamps asap and then hopefully i will be playing again soon.
I'd be more than motivated if i had your winrate/monthly earnings 
I know we shortstackers are bound to be bored by robot SSS.
I still don't know what i am gonna play after if i reach NL400, NL600 with SSS. Maybe i'll continue, but i think you have to switch eventually, BSS is what poker is about.
Winter is depressive as it is. But we have more time to play poker
You need a break i guess. Playing unmotivated is soooo -EV.
yeah i think so too. but the more i think of it the more i think it is likely that i have a winter depression.
cause i have also found it hard to motivate myself to go running lately and as i said it is quite common here. something like 2/3 suffer from it, at least to some mild extend.
