Quitting poker for the time being. cya later

Good luck, I used to play 3,5s turbo 6max sngs, they are soft, but variance is very big.

so pokerstars have a new milestone hand.
comes at a good time since sngs havent been going great last few days,
gonna play nl5 FR for the next week or so. still have my scoop bonus to clear,
and cash-games arent too bad to create vpps , especially since i play too many tables. might try out 6max at some point, but id have to move down to nl2 to reduce losses/variance.

down after 7k hands today.
but thats ok, still getting back into the cash game groove.

might play some more later. depends how i feel after the footy.
GO SPURS!!!

didnt play any more yesterday.
played ~3 hours today.
not gonna post graphs every day, maybe every 10k hands or so.
probably wont play tomorrow, depending on whether i go out or not.

today´s results:

hands: 3652
vpps: 57 (didnt reach daily target of 70)
milestone hand: nope
winnings: up a bit.

guess im not raking as much as i thought. might add some sngs. will see

quick cashgame summary.
20k hands, mainly nl5.
tried playing nl10 mss for a while since i figured i woukd get more vpps and quicker, so if i hit a milestone hand it´d be better.
ended up losing $50 in just 1.5k hands of nl10 while winning $8 in 19k hands NL5.... quite a bit below ev, and that doesnt even take count of the times i lost with KK<AA preflop.....

gonna go back to hyper turbo sngs for now. gonna play some HU ones today and see how it goes.

im considering just playing nl5 on 24 tables.... it would give me gold status on pokerstars which is ~300 dollars. so if i play breakeven/slightly winning poker that wouldnt be too bad. only problem is I am a MASSIVE loser on nl10 so i couldnt really move up.

I know most likely nobody is going to read this but I might as well use this to vent a bit.

TL;DR: I suck at poker so I´m quitting.

Been playing poker online 5+ years now. Ever since I turned 18...
I´ve always been breakeven/slightly-losing player. Never cashed out more than $100 in total though. (in the +ve thx to RB or upswings)
Tried all sorts of sites and all sorts of games. Pretty much exclusively NLholdem though. Must have spent another sh*tload on video suscriptions, books and such things, but any improvements in my game were always temporary and i just went back to sucking...

Thats why it´s now time to call it quits.
If I ever get the itch to come back I hope I´ll read this post of my general failure beforehand.

Summary of my play:
Sharscope says I have 10k livetime games with ROI of 2% so that´s probably pretty accurate. Unfortunately I can´t check my cashgame stats since PTR isnt allowed to track anymore, but I would guess I played at ~-10bb/100 over 200k hands. It´s probably worse than that since I was down from every stake from NL2-NL50 Which is the main reason I was always broke...

I still enjoy playing live with friends or small pub-games, and I probably
won´t give that up so quickly.

If I do ever come back to online poker it´ll be to play some other game, but definitely not NL holdem... Probably some kind of fixed limit game where even I can´t lose THAT much.

thx and bye

i know how you feel mate, but dont quit.... i feel the same everyday when i lose... i never won a tournament, my best was 8 place and won 120$... 5 mins ago i finished 3rd in 300fpp satelitte tournament and won 2500fpp, and first two gets 250$... i feel sick, i wanna win one time, always so close and so far... i advice you to take a break from poker and get back when you feel for it... the best thing imo is to find some friends who play and you can discuss with them... but discussing with pub players is probably not a good idea ♦...

if you do decide to comeback, I think the logical step would be coaching. Seems you need a structered poker diet to get things going properly.

I will be really short, mein. I am not happy to see this. If you decide to come back and play SnG, I will spend 2-3 hours with you reviewing your game and trying to help. For free of course. Sometimes, it takes just one lil step to make the big decision.

Take care.

thx for the offer. I´ll definitely take you up on it, when/if I come back.
I probably won´t be able to keep away for more than a month anyway ♦

Just take this offer now and don't leave. You are saying that you will be back in a month, so what's a point in leaving? Coach is willing to work with you for free - that's about as good as it can get at ps.com. Use this opportunity, and start workin even harder instead of moaning that you can't win. If you work hard you will start owning those tables and motivation will be back up when you'll start winning.

And remember - such offer from coach might not be available next time you will start playing.

The caring member replies and spontaneous coach's offer shows just what this community is really all about and why it just rocks! ♠_cool: ♠_cool:

Super regards,

this may not be helpful, but if you really want to see your cash game results on PTR, you can ask Stars to allow it for you and they can then be seen.

as far as you quitting, only you know what is best for you, but I'll tell you, when I read this

I chuckled.
I have shirts older than you!
so don't make any hasty decisions.

Hey,
Try a sweat session, it is a great opportunity. It might change everything. You will be amazed at how different things look when you feel you are not alone and you can actually talk to someone
