Put it up; but if you start to feel like that just close the program. Record another when you're back in the groove to show us how you actually play though.

Also: 97 points left to go until my $50 bonus. Roll stands at $318.

Got it in with QQ vs AK on a board of KKQ, and then again with TT against QQ on a board of 8TQ (!). Managed to river a flush in the latter

Roll is at...$874 ish. Looks like it's down a tenner, but I bought HEM for $55 yesterday, so actually made a good $30 or so today.

I might do but I might cut the end off where I just make bad call after bad call as I already know what was wrong with that! At the moment I'm just very pissed off with myself (not just for the poker), I think I even say a couple of times I should stop during the vid.

Hey ho, I'll have a look at it later and decide what to do with it. It will probably go up in some form though.

Oh, does anyone know what a good bb/100 is? Mine is like 33 or something. I've got 750 points this month as well, which I think is good for Platinum status next month

_________________

Yeah 750 for Platinum and 500 for Gold.

I'm sat on 598 and i've only been playing on PS since the 16th of May

What's the only hand I can count on in a one-out situation?

Ok so I've had a think and I have decided to put up the video :

I'm quite quiet in it and I have cut off the ending but there it is.

Nova 5bb/100 is a good winrate but your hand sample is SO small it is meaningless. If you run good you can get in the 100s over such a small selection of hands. Generally 5bb/100 over 20k hands is considered nice.

Jebus dw tilt is something everyone has to cope with. Best idea is to try and identify it and just stop playing completely. Maybe even take a day break. I will watch the vid in a couple of days maybe, but will bare in mind you were steaming.

Since you hit a one-outer, you're not allowed to post bad beats for 3 days. New rule.

What kind of bullshit ruling is this?

Maybe I should take a trip down...

Last four games.

Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble.



Thats it. The final straw. No more serious online poker for me.

Jokes aside, I probably am. Other than playing my free live games, I cant see me seriously continuing online in any real way. I am not rich enough at the moment to deposit a meaningful bankroll, and previous attempts have gone into dissarray. I feel too stressed when I play because I know I'm underrolled, but I cant be anything BUT underrolled, until I roll it up. I have never had a big online win, compared to two big ones live - I just think I'm a much better live player - I dont have the cash to piss about, and bubbling four times online and live in the space of 72 hours in four successive games is sick. Plus, I played cash - got my money MORE than in good, got rivered by K-7. I'm either not good enough, not lucky enough, haven't got the bankroll to play at all, or susceptible to tilt. Either one of those is bad news, and with everything else thats going on, its just getting me down.

Truth is, although I have by far the worst online record, no-one in this thread has a really amazing 'profit per hour' margin to shout home about, so even if it was a massive turnaround, its still only going to turn into a 'nice little earner' and not something thats going to supplement my wages. I'd rather play for titles and prizes live, knowing its not going to affect me in the long run - or at least until I have a normal wage for a 24 year old.

I think I've also had my head turned by working in a bookies in the last few weeks. Betting is bad news, the evidence is plain to see, and yet I have had a few small bets myself. Why? The evidence is there staring me in the face thats it not the best idea! Every one of us is going to go on a massive cooler, I had one a few months back, and it was sick, there was NOTHING I could do right. In the end - in my eyes, I don't see if its worth it.


Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the game. Love it. And for it to work there needs to be at least something at stake, but I am finding myself increasingly out of love with everything thats surrounds it. I wanna be a poker player, but not a gambler, and I could see myself slipping into that territory if I do not take a long hard look in the mirror.

Perhaps just take a break for a week or two and see how you feel afterwards. I've not played any poker for over a week now due to exams (and because I was running bad last time I played) but I'm very eager to get back into it.

I've been thinking about the times when I my bankroll takes a big hit and it's because I'm not strict enough with the games I am playing. I tend to play a few $10 MTTs here and there when I really should be sticking to $5 SnGs or cash tables. It's not the bad runs at cash tables that have a massive effect on my banlroll, it's the combination of bad runs and not cashing in MTTs (which I shouldn't even be playing). If I cut out the MTTs for a while then I think it will be fairly simple to build up my roll again.
