Oh that was the and only day I have ever super ran hot. I played two £10 BI MTT's and lost so played those tables for a laugh and ended up making a few hundred in a night. Funnily enough I know and play much better now so no clue how I won so much.
Yes, sticking to low stakes and BRM will be my only goal next time until I make some decent wedge.

It's sonic 'I don't give a sheet' Hedgehog.
Had a nice small break but been playing for last two nights with a few session, all winning as well. I wont post up any information or charts until I have a certain number of hands under my belt. All I can see is everything is going well at the moment. Sticking to BRM and normal tables.

Played my usual two sessions a day yesterday. First one went well for an hour. Nothing amazing but I played well and made a £1.35 profit. Second session started off well. Came to a hand where I had KJ and a J flopped with a flush draw. Checked as I was oop to see how the others played. Both players I had watched before I knew never played with great hands much and fished a lot so after they both bet low amounts I 3 bet them. Had a feeling one would fold and the short stack had a draw of some kind. The guy folded and the short stack called with A5s. Hits his miracle river.
Then the rest of the game swept into variance city. Another hand ended up with me with two pair and someone hit a low straight, everyone folding to my min raises with big pockets to trap and also getting into an all in with a short stack and having tons of outs for a straight and flush draw but not hitting. Ended up having my first losing session for a while even when playing well but thanks to BRM I just lost the profit I made on the session earlier that day.
Hoping today is a better day.
------------ Don't know what is going on with me, I just cant seem to play right or beat these rubbish fish players. I did start this session with some profit now I am down half a BI. Just cant seem to get anything. Must be me as this is weird.
------------ Think this game hates me now. All my hard work and small profit over a few days is now nearly gone. Variance has been bad and I have not been winning much but losing loads. Just had 99 now and got 3 bet and from that 3 bet it showed he had QQ+ so I called to see if I could set mine. Hit my 9 on the flop but of course hit his bigger set on the turn, so lost another BI. Not going well but at least I have BRM so I am only £5 down. Just pisses me off that this happens after I have done so well lately.

Dude I feel your pain dog, I feel ya. There are days when I just hate poker. I swear at times I wish I had never even heard of the game. It is a very frustrating game at times. Try to stay calm. Wishing you all the best. Be cool amigo

I was able to win everything I lost back nearly, so basically break even from those two losing sessions. The only problem is my stats on the 0.1/0.2NL table on my PT4 is in the red minus by 3 euros as well as my BB and SB stats being in the red now due to those losses.
Hopefully today is a change, but there was a special one off promotion running from the 20th-22nd where you can get rakeback for what you made on those days by asking a mod today, so hopefully should pick up around £5 if I am lucky later.

Well I do hope we both have very good days today. I just noticed in the calender game section it is showing 29 for this month. I hope this is a leap a year since the extra day will earn me my silverstar VIP on PStars. Be cool

Playing at Ladbrokes which is now on I poker. There are always promotions goings on whether for cash, SNG's, rake whatever. You can even exchange your collected ladbrokes points for cash once you get to a certain amount.
Think I just got mugged off. I knew I should have made around £5 rakeback but they only gave me £1.80. I have £3 worth of rakeback shown on my PT and that is the rakeback that was collected on my PT. Oh well still a little boost.
------------ Starting to actually fucking hate grinding micro stakes. Its like Ladbrokes lets the fish win with the s**ttest hands ever all the time. If it aint some Russian trying to bluff me with A10 and hit a straight or a fish calling OOP with j2s hitting two pair to crack my queens its fish always chasing and hitting straights. Thanks Ladbrokes ive just wasted an hour to get all my great play and profit fucking ruined but this s**t players.
------------ And with the A10 he was oop and position and I knew my AKs had him beat so a 3 bet and he calls and hits a straight, of course.
------------ And now i cannot hit a single hand, even if I am isolating them or calling. Such bollocks when this happens. Good old fish eh.
------------ Nearly £3 up now 85p down. Fucking great.
------------ Now it will take another two days to get even because thats how bollocks and pointless micro grinding it. Go figure.
------------ Variance has been a bitch tonight. From beating two tables being £3 up then to lose it then be £5 down all because of fish hitting lucky. Jumped up two stakes to try and hit and run and got KK UTG. Got a caller and called my 3 and 4 bet and all in with A10 on a ten high bored. Idiot fish. Won nearly everything back and just £1 uo instead of 3.
Only time I seem to make profit lately is by the higher stakes as variance seems kindto me more.

You are going to go bust again. Sorry to tell you that mate. Get prepared for it. You keep pissing all over Bankroll Management, by jumping up and down stakes chasing loses hoping to get lucky. You know damn well that is poor poker play, but you keep doing it, and then you get upset when you lose. Insanity is doing the same things over and over again hoping for different results. The laws of cause and effect do NOT work that why. If you do this, then this happens. Think about it. You could become a very good winning player if, you could just stop tilting and chasing losses. We both need more discipline it seems. I am trying to help you here. Trying as a friend to wake you up to what you are doing wrong over and over again. I have been there, you are there right now. It is a very bad place to be, in the long run you always will lose in that place. best wishes to you. be cool

well when that happens, the best thing you can do is take a break. longer one too if possible i know its easier said than done, and i have failed to do so a few times too but really, if you see things arent going your way for a while ... go watch a umm.. adult movie or something else instead, idk

Not played in a few days but my bankroll is still sitting nicely. Won't have much time this week so I can call it a mini break. I can go busto of course but playing on normal tables is easier for me than speed when I am on tilt as speed just rapes me now. I should be £3 up from what I am on now really but poker likes to magical fish up against me. J2s BB of course.
On the positive the tilt was not as bad as it has been for me and I stayed away from speed. I think after a hit to profits like that hand if everything starts going bad, weird and not getting hands I should just leave the tables and either have a break or find a new table where no one knows how I play. Happy with how I am playing lately though.
How's you twos bankrolls going anyway?
------------ First session back I am already a BI down to fucking variance. As usual I am playing great and have profit on both my tables, then get a hand where I have JJ and from the betting after I know a 4 bet after a crappy 3 bet should be good until a fish who kept calling every raise in front of me donks so I think for a a bit and I have a feeling he has no higher pockets so I call and he flips over AKo. Of course, fishes favourite hand to donk. Flop I am safe, turn I am safe and the river card takes longer than usual to come down as I know an A or K will come out because thats how variance rolls and of course hits it.
Now I know he had outs over me but its always on the river and I always lose against AK. Why not the flop or turn for once instead of putting me thorough thinking I am safe. When will I get a break and actually make profit without some twat sucking out on me and taking my hard earned time profits.
And as usual the magical card and flop dead shite happens. Suspect as usual.
Blah rant rant winge/
------------ Wicked. £4 down now and good old calling with Ace rag UTG and hitting fucking trips. Logging off now before I just put my entire bankroll on the highest stake I can because I am fucking fed up of playing well, making profit then lose it plus more to fucking cunts UTG all the fucking time with shite and having nothing to show for it. Going to take me fucking ages now to make it back plus get out of the shite stats on my pokertracker all thisbollocks is doing to it. Joke.
How can one person keep losing to shite much. Had enough.
------------ Add to that the strange phenomenon of how after the first suckout my game goes to shite and the cards and flops I don't get seem to happen like instantly. Very fishy indeed.

Posted by Phisix Why not the flop or turn for once instead of putting me thorough thinking I am safe
its poker we are talking about. You are virtually never safe unless u got the money in when ur oponent was already drawing dead As long as he has like 1% equity, he can (and sometimes will) win it
heck even if you manage to win 90%-10% situation (and sometimes thats a feat too ), at the same time, at some other table, some poor sob will lose his 95-5 (:
as one good friend of mine, John Travolta would say "If it can happen, it will happen".

Ooh do tell? You do have a decent bankroll to do it though unlike me.
The anger is gone now so I am glad I left when I did. I think two BI loss is when I should leave so I dont tilt it away.
