Yeap this session had to come....

Today results:
Hands played: 862
$won:-156
$won EV: -82
BR:570,78

There is no flip that I can win, there is 70% of the hands I'm in fornt that I lose. I just can't get rid of that curse. Currently I'm running 130$ under ev.

3 times AAvsKK today me having KK.

I don't know what to do any more. How can it be, it lasts for 6 months now

And while envisioning yourself in half a year might be nice, again, things will usually go way differently than you expect them to, so I would again not focus on monetary goals, but learning and maybe volume goals.

I would also recommend some short projects to get you going. Check out my guide (the link is in my signature), it will help you get on track and easily reach your goals and even go beyond them.

Good luck!

I don't think that's the problem. Do you think I would feel different without it?

Of course I do, otherwise I wouldn't say it :). There are countless articles in the Pokerstrategy psychology section that say that monetary goals are bad and that you shouldn't be result oriented. Would you really be mad if you didn't care that you lost money? You should care about your game, not how much money you earn/lose. Try it out at least ;).

I don't agree with you. I think it's a question of how you take your goals, I have it to track where I stand, they are not like "I must do it".

I don't think I would care less If I didn't have them?Do you?

What got you here won't get you there. Goals are great. Especially learning goals/volume goals. Not monetary goals though, they will bring you here:

Still there are so many hands I play like a total fish.

Just info for all.
I'm a fish. Never going to write a blog on poker. It's just isn't a game for me.

I just dont have it in me.

Shitty weak. Obviously I'm still a big fish. I just don't get how can I ran 5BB over 25k hands and then lose it in 12k hands. Is this variance or what.

I had few really bad sessions,
Losing sessions:
-91,74
-76,25
-45,13
-139,08
-69,08
-69,15
-75,10
-53,93

This is fucking insaine.
This week I lost -196$, EV -71,76. In total I'm running -220$ below EV in just over 23.000 hands.
And so on, and so on
Fuck poker, I'm so mad right now

Is this where you really want to be? As I said, what got you here, won't get you there ;).

If you really want to succeed, identify your values. After that, write a vision statement and make goals in line with your values.
