Posted by bullettooth1: Lol @ demodawwgy thanks for that
------------ Oh dear! what a horrible session. I was getting beat left right and centre with everything. Top two pair got beat by 73suited (flush) yes i did raise preflop lol. I re-raised preflop with AA got shoved on by 1010 and he hit a 10 on the flop. another bad play rewarded Missed every draw i went for (some very strong ones) AK beat by turned set of 9's (A on the flop) There was a lot more but those are the main ones i remember. Then it just started to go a bit better and the server shut down for maintenance lol Anyway bankroll is now at $373 from $406 (won a bit in a tournament last night) Don't know what my points are because stars isn't back up yet but i think i earned about 82.
Thanks for reading
Well bullet congrats with your blog\challenge
We re all supporting you and hope you reach the finish and become gold star.

Hey all. sorry i haven't updated for a while. Here's one now if you are wanting to know how its going!
Thursday was a good day got my bankroll up to $420 and earned my points no bother but i have been on a downswing ever since. Just wasn't going right for me at all. No matter what i did or how i played i would always get beat. Seen some really sick sh!t i can tell ya the lowest my bankroll went down to was $293 and that was yesterday. Today started slow but in the right direction. was up to $305, then last night i played a couple of tourneys (didn't get anywhere) but while one was on a break i sat down on a nl25 zoom table and the 1st hand i played (AJ) i flopped a straight against two others 65(flush draw) and K10 (two pair) all the money went in on the flop and i won it Bankroll at that point was $344. Then i left shortly after and got KO'd out of the tourney by 66 against my 88 (6 on the river) i was doing well until that hand. Then i played some nl10 zoom. was up and down for ages and finally left with a BR of $360. So I'm hoping that's the end of my shocking downswing and i can start to building in the right direction. this is the situation as of now, BR $360 VIP Goal (Gold Status) 1408/2500 3rd VIP Stellar Reward 703/750

impressive dude, even though u take lots of beats u still manage to keep your roll safe. surely only better things ahead- no one can skip the sh1tty periods when everything goes wrong, but it's how u handle them that makes u a good or a pochui type of player gl

Thanks a lot buddy I am pretty glad i won that hand on the nl25 table because if i didn't my venture just might well of come to an end That was the 1st time i thought "fook it! I'll give it a bash" couple years ago i would of done it a lot sooner and my BR would be gone Just have to try and keep your head and play your normal game when your on a downswing. Its pretty hard to do. my head was in bits felt like crying at some points lol Felt like the whole world was against me

G'day mate
I feel you amigo. I really do. Been on a month long downswing myself. With all my ups and down this month I am currently DOWN. I have just spent the last few hour totaling up my wins and loses thus far for the year.
Dude for the first time since 2005 I am a losing poker player. Yep right now I am down $36.08
First time I have been down since 2005 and it truly saddens me

What a fooking joke pokerstars is! I can't believe some of the sh it i see and how i get beat! Flopped set of 7's check raised the original raiser got all the money in on the turn and he hit his 2outer on the river. he had KK and hit a king All in preflop with kings against 44 he hits quads All in on the flop with AQ he also had AQ but runner runner hearts gave him the flush my 10's against AK I'm aggressively betting all streets on a very safe board for me and he rivers an A QQ beat by 10 7os after i bet a AA8 flop bet a 9 turn check called a J river
I am sooooooooo fooking fed of of this sh!t now. I thought all this crap was over with
BR now at $271 points at 1538/2500 Can't wait till i hit my goal so i can have a big break from jokerstars

Welcome to my world mate.
Over the last few weeks I have had quads beaten by quads twice. A straight flush beat by a higher straight flush and all kinds of other BS bad beats which just leaves a player shaking their head say that BS is just unbelievable BS. Variance be damned that crap happens way to much online.
But you know how it is everyone says,"oh its just variance you gotta live with it."

that fcukin rigged stars software- i'm telling you, they use some sort of modified trojan that goes out through your computers ventilation and infects you just as cold virus. just a few breathes and baaam you're infected with stars tojan virus- whenever this happens, stars can read your mind: they know when u chase vip status, they know when exactly to river your mind away, they even know when you take a toilet break and immediately deals you aa, kk etc. and does so in a specific manner- that you would be able to see those AA getting back, but would be just a second late to react...crappy virus i'm telling ya

One of best posts ever!!! ahhahahahhahahhahahahhahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahah On serious note, chasing vip status means you are forcing yourself to play when youre not feeling like it, not quiting when youre losing and tilted and other stuf, so its not about stars beeing rigged but about one who is chasing
the lowest my bankroll went down to was $293 and that was yesterday. 
Just have to try and keep your head and play your normal game when your on a downswing. Its pretty hard to do. my head was in bits
