It would have been if I did not lose that hand last night. Damn suckouts.
Back down to $14 now. Hopefully I can get back to between $20/$30 again by tonight.For some reason once I go on a great run crushing a massive pot bad beat just turns variance against me, it's very weird. Like card dead, keep losing or more beats or suckouts.

You may need to consider the hot and run method After winning a big pot just change a table and start with the minimum buy ins. Just like many are doing in the micro limits tables, driving me crazy

....AKA "Going South".
Totally frowned upon in live play, but perfectly acceptable online. Bear in mind that this tactic can also cost you sometimes... If you have the nuts against a huge stack, you can miss out BIG TIME.

G'day mate
Just dropped in to wish you well. The hit and run technique does work but I personally consider it poor sportsmanship and very rude. Hope you have a great day. Good luck at the tables. May you build your bankroll ten fold. be cool

I only played SNAP tables. More volume and faster for my needs.
Managed to get back to $24. It was a solid going night apart from on stupid call I made without realizing until the last minute. I had $10 on one of my tables and someone went all in for $5 and I accidentally clicked on call with A6s. I was like shiiiiiiiii and the other guy had A2s(UTG) I was like like wtf and laughed until he flopped a two and had straight and flush draws and obviously hit them. Such a stupid thing to call while rolling a smoke while two tabling lol.
I think I have also bet the 3.1 points for every $1 of my $10 bonus now so it should be withdraw-able now, so now to take things more seriously.
------------ Running bad again. So many OOP small callers and getting sets when I have TPTK. Whenever I get a set everyone always folds and I get no action but when against me they always get action and a lot of my money since I always think they are chasing which most of the time someone us. Card dead all the time and people calling with crap like J5s and hitting two 7's when I have 88. Speaking of pocket pairs, every time I have one someone always has a higher one.
Down to last $10 now so another night of being down $14. Left as annoyed and know I will lose more if I don't. I will try later and see what happens when I am more calm. Wish me luck, because it will be sick if I go busto after all of this hard work I have done lately. Story of my poker life though. Chins up.
------------ The fourth night in a row I crush both tables and I am up nearly $10. But the pattern I keep seeing every night is at a certain point variance comes and kicks me back down. I think this site is rigged against me or something. I cannot win any flips when I am favourite or they suck out and the constant chasers always hitting as well as me going card dead or flop dead.
Pissed off with this. back to $10. had enough of this crap.

Snap is where I play my best poker and win the most actually. Just having a lot of negative variance against me this last four days. Luckily I still have a bankroll which is good, but if things wen't my way I should be beyond $50 by now but poker can do that I guess. It's just annoying how I am playing so well on both tables then things just start going downhill in everything.
I guess not going busto is +EV I guess.
------------ Been having a great session and was just over $25. Getting fed up with when I get sets. I either get them and everyone folds, or I get them and every tom, d**k and harry chase and hit. I already have to fold one on the turn because I knew both hit a flush and then just lost to a straight chaser when I wasent thinking.
Stupid call as I was not paying attention but why do chasers always hit when chasing 90% of time, but I rarely hit mine. Luckily I am following BRM and I am only $3 or under down. But I have been against three hands in the last ten minutes and every chaser has hit. I really hate this game sometime.
------------ And now here comes the b******t. Fucking furious. It's a constant thing against me lately. Play and do well and the constant shite.

All night I have been rivered by a set when I have had a higher pair. About five times this has happened now. Variance really hates me at the moment. I havent lost much from my BR but I must have lost about $30 tonight already from all the winnings I have made and lost. Such bollocks sometimes.
Take this hand: Knew know one had a Q after checking the flop and tiny betting the turn. Sods law loses me money again.
------------ First five minutes of today's first session and luck out b******t already. Always get my money in good and I always lose. Whats this b******t about

How much more can I keep losing to short stacked players donking with nothing and getting miracles. I know it's not rigged but variance really hates me lately. I hope everyone else who plays cash is having a better run than me.
------------ If it isnt suckouts its set up's. Like I said, always a higher pocket pair when I have one.
------------ OH LOOK AT THIS. ANOTHER FUCKER SET VS SET SETUP this game is a fucking rigged set up pile of s**t. Action hands all the time for fucking rake. Cunts.
------------ All that hard work again and as usual I get fucked over with constant s**t, chasers or set vs set set ups. Like I said, when I have a set and no one else does I get no action but when someone does against me or has a better one theres always action.
------------ People say sets are rare but no I see them more then you should. Bulls**t rigged set up game, as per in cash games.
------------ Busto I am done with this s**t now. Weeks of hard grafting and as usual I just get fucked over. You could argue with me being on a higher stake but 0.1/0.2 is fucking boring and you get fucked over by calling stations 24/7.

Been a few weeks since I updated. Taking things a bit better this last week and this time wanted to take my BR tight since we have all established my busto and money losses is due to stake jumping(I never learn from my mistakes :/) Deposited $10 and managed to reach $40 the other day but not played since then. Basically I am fully rolled for 2NL so I will continue until I am on $80/100 so I can start grinding 5NL. Bloody hate 2NL but at least I cannot go busto. Wish me luck this time.
Hey m8 ,...... When u have trouble to keep youre bankrollmanagement Tight,.. Maybe its a idea to set table limits in pokerstars options? There u can set for example for now only 0,01/0.02 cents.. When u want to change it again it take 24 hours to set a higher table,..... Sooo u can cool down for 24 hours and maybe you think 0.01/0.02 is good.. When u bored try play more table's .. Buy in for half/ore the max buy-in (normaly half buy in but its 0.80 cents so) Play tight ...double up and run And start over again with same amount,and just repeat that double up out.. When u loose one time 1,60 $ is always better then when u bigstack and get a nast suckout....

They could be a good idea actually but I don't really like Stars anymore and only have a BR on 888. My problem is stake jumping when I lose a little bit. If I didn't do that to 20NL last time I could have saved that $140 I made from a $3.50 freeroll win.
At 888 you can also set table limits I am playing at a other pokersite..... Started with 10 euro playing cashgame buy-in 2 euro... Double up ore more i run.... Come back with 2 euro........

Not bad at all and a much safer bankroll of course. I have been doing really well lately and find myself on $73 at the moment. See how things goes but I wont be jumping up to 20nl like I did last time and lose it all.

Been on a great run lately, not on a heater but I am running into a lot of peoples stupid actions and stuff and my hands and plays are doing what they should be against these players: winning. Everything seems to be going my way even though the suckouts, chases and losing when I get my money in good. Currently on $115 and quit so I could bank.
Now I am properly rolled for 5NL. Cannot wait until I have enough to play 10NL fulltime as it'smy favourite stake since I always make tons there. Not liking the dollar to pound conversion though. If I cashed out now I would only make £70. Meh. I also just recieved a free $10 on Party Poker for it's Casino so hopefully I can get a roll going on that by playing little bets on the slots.
The most important thing lately though is my tilt is being controlled a bit better and of course I have not moaned for a long time. Weird huh?
Be carefull for the downswing Its nice to hear that you doing good.....and u rolled for nl5... Sooo what are the plans when u moving up to nl10.... What kind off roll you will play fulltime Nl10 ore maybe take a shot? Good luck in the games for today

Yeah I have been waiting for it and in the last three days I have had two break even/just under sessions, then a bad run then ran hot again.
My plans with NL10 like always is to take little shots at it like last time. 888 10NL Snap is usually where I play my best but a shot and hit and run here now and again while playing NL5 works. Currently on $150.12 as of last night when I won a bit on 5NL and 10NL and also unlocked two separate $5 bonus's. I am now well rolled for 5NL and can keep taking shots at NL10 if I need too. Only $50 more and I am minimum rolled for 10NL so it is worth it especially since my shots have been going well every time.
After that I will nit grind 10NL as 30NL on 888 Snap features better players, more fish and more set ups so I won't play those stakes until I am beyond 30 BI's for that stake.

Not doing great actually. Lost a couple of BI's on 10NL last night due to fish and always hitting one card needed and tilted myself to 50NL and eventually lost most of my BR to set ups, bad calls and crap. Funnily enough it was not angry tilt just wanting my money back and of course I should have just quit or jump down the stakes after the first few losses.
On the plus side I still have a BR so I can just start over again.
------------ And my hatred for poker returns. This last month I have been playing some great poker and it has been going well but now it is constant lose after lose after loss when I am always the better player or odds or fucking whatever.
Obviously I am stupid for losing all of that money which is my fault so I deserve to lose it, but I am getting fucking fed up with these b******t idiot shite poker players who always seem to beat me even though I am 90% a better player then them and playing great against them all of the time. Either that or the good old "set up" action hands all of these sites like to do.
Was on my last $11 today and came online after a good night and thought I would play. 20 minutes later and I was up to £23 playing some great poker. No idiot calls, chasing or mistakes just good poker. Of course poker sods law has to come and gift all the bad players wins constantly and take my bankroll. I hate low stakes, players just call any raise or bet with anything and ALWAYS manages to hit two pair or something. Set up city. Ended up losing to crap time and time again until I was on my last £5 until the last hand I had was the old set up city AA VS KK. Standard and lost. Funny how in two weeks of playing when I have had AA everyone folds or I never run into many QQ/KK.
Busto again, pissed off and skint. Not a happy Phisix at all, even though it was my fault for stake jumping again, but never bad play just b******t.
Maybe next time, but poker is starting to piss me off. Not poker itself, but these players who are shite but always seem to LUCK out.
