Downswing: 170 BBs

[PShabi]

Just played another 927 hands and dropped 23 bets. Ran good for the first half of it, was up 20 or so bets. Then I stayed up 15 bets for a long time.

Then the beats started again. The last one was awesome.

Heads up, smallish pot. I open with A-something.

Flop is A 10 X

Bet, call

Turn is a K, I bet, he calls.

River is a Jack, fucking sweet

check/call

he flips up KJ two pair.

Fuck life, fuck poker, fuck fuck fuck. Crying.

Fuck, the thing that's pissing me off is that it's good players sucking out now. Well, good stats at least.

One hand, this bitch calls a bet on the flop of A X X with Q8! I had 99. Turn and River are both Queens.

WTFWTFWTFWTF?

I'm done.

I think the board might be infected...

[kkirk1329]

[Reel Deal]

You must be the exception... I blew through 10% of my roll today.

Poker is gay.

eejit is currently sucking too. Playing amazing i might add, but sucking.

para 3/6 turbo fixed limit 6max hates me, and its all i play now! sat with 200 a few wekks back, was sitting up with 600 ish. Now im happy if im not stacked within 200 hands. Itll change.

Maybe i need my TP.com HAT

Here's the last update for a while kiddos:

I'm now in a 320 bets downswing that won't let up. 4 days and 4,000 hands later, and I'm in a really bad place, personally.

I haven't been this depressed since I found out I knocked up Jackie senior year. So, with that, I'm gonna say bye for a while. Everyone here has been incredibly supportive of me through this, on the board and AIM. Thanks for the positive talk.

I'm gonna remove TPF as my homepage and I'm not reading here or 2+2 until this is over. I'll be playing again tomorrow, limiting myself to two tables, but I'm leaving AIM off too.

The whining has gotten to be too much, even. Like Chip said, at first, it was funny. Now, I can't even find humor in it anymore.

I'll be back when I get through this shit. If I'm never back, well, hope you all learned some things from me. If nothing else, bankroll baby.

Most people say 300BB for a level, but more for 6-max. I gotta say I agree.

So long friends. Hope to be back soon.

Might want to think of doing a 'hit and run' next time you get up early. Sometimes logging a decent winner can do wonders for confidence and your state of mind. If you really have the itch to play still - maybe do a semi-cheap tourney.

Even if its not a big win - its a win.

I wanted to, up $200 early today, but that was only like 400 hands in and I had a lot of free time today, so I wanted to play. 700 hands later and I'm down over $400.

Just this session, I've finally seen it affect my play negatively, where I was timid with a strong hand and missed a bet.

Thanks for the advice.
