Well I can watch 22 english videos 2/4 and above, mostly higher stakes in the diamond videos...I think that's enough ![]()
Now that I'm playing 2-4 it's too hard to reach 20k points but I'll get at least 1000$ from the promotion
this will give me a decent BR for 3-6 on stars!
i dont understand sth...u said that ur aprx br is about 2k but u play on SHnl400-600...
means that on 400 u have only 5bi..am i n=missin sth? or do u play sss? ( on sh?{!})

one of the best posts in last month ♦

Just one think about Stars:
I moved from PP to Titan ~3 weeks ago (because of PP "reward system" and "great" support) and then to Stars (4 days ago because of 2x less rake (really!)).
Just about skills on 2/4 SH: PP > Titan >> Stars (maybe >>>>>). Be prepare! On PP you're looking for fishes, on Titan you have 1-2 per table, but on Stars you have 3-4 per table and sometimes it's hard to believe ![]()
It's my experience after 4-5k hands, different times and no table selecting at all...
variance is deadly sometimes - good luck ![]()
---------------------
btw: there're 100k's of hands from Stars FL SH on PS.de

^Past 30 days
BR is about 600$ + points mean cash money (I think will be around 1k$) so I'm still playing 2-4$, if total goes to 1K I have to play 1-2 again.... Never playing party again after today, going to stars will update how that goes in a couple of weeks. I can't seem to stop the momentum of my losses as they continue even though I move down several limits where I'm surrounded by complete donkeys,
I've seemingly got unlimited suckouts the past month or so, and have been watching videos and trying to post hands but my motivation is evapourating into thin air with each 25BB stack lost. I try to start each session with a positive outlook and somehow find within myself motivation to play but every session just starts at up ~20-25BB then back to even, then down 25BB, then down 50BB and I have to stop. Rinse and repeat every day for the past 30 days and you have my bankroll.
Goals:
-Try and improve my loserate beyond 3BB/100, preferably into the positive region.
-Try judge/come to the correct conclusion on already judged hands/post hands each session without exception.
-Watch the numerous FL videos.
-Stop playing if I at all feel like I'm tilting.
-Become Black member/play 100-200$ and be winning 1bb/100 and be financially self sufficient.
-Have fun ♦
ugly doesn't even begin to describe what I am currently looking at.
I don't even know what to say except good luck in having things go better again
i would brake my computer and would never want to hear about poker again . when it hits you this is realy depressing . try some omaha or nl maybe will make you feel better if you book a win there
This is kinda harsh TerrorBlade. Isnt it a good idea to backoff for a few weeks and come back again when you feel 100% motivated to crush the tables again?
ouch, FL looks painful o_O do you walk around breaking mirrors, or did you have a gigantic upswing before this?
good luck recovering
Early on I was angry at those 100$+ pots at 5/10 that I was losing vs the donks and their 3 outers but after it stacked up so much I was just made numb by the continual losing that I just feel nothing, and sometimes lost motivation. Few times I actually got angry, mostly it just makes you fall out of love with poker ![]()
BR is about 1350$ atm so I'm playing 2-4 unless I get down to 1K then it's 1-2 time....Every table on pokerstars has at least 2-3 horrible players and the other 2 are usually kinda taggy but suck in some respect, however I'm still losing a bit and I know I'm playing really solidly and are posting the marginal situations that are few and far between.
I guess I just gotta work through this cause if I can recover fully from 6k->1.5K I'm sure I can handle any downswing.
p.s. I didn't have a gigantic upswing, I had running 1.5BB/100 on 3-6 for 10k hands + 2.5k from rakefreedays
=/ ugly.. i know that feeling of just being numb seeing yet another 2 outer for huge pots, although it must be much more slow and painful at FL (in that respect, it's not that bad to lose 15 stacks in two days at nl.. at least it's over quickly)...hope it ends soon ![]()
As long as you know you're playing a winning game, and always feeling mentally in "good shape" when you play, I guess all you can do is wait...or try taking a (not-quite-)break; make videos, play sessions with someone watching, etc...you'll probably improve your game at the same time, and it'll be good for FL players here as well ![]()
...or try flipping at PLO2 or smth, might help ^^
Thats one sick downswing, and to think I get annoyed at losing $10 pots. Good luck recovering man, you got the skill to do it !
When a coach has these kind of swings it makes me feel ok about my game. Been continuely drawn out on when playing the correct way, can really be discouraging to say the least. I know from watching your videos that your game is as solid as anyones that plays FL. So with every downswing a upswing will follow, your wise enough to follow BRM so in time you will be further ahead than ever.

Hey guys, long time no update cause I've been playing very very few hands apart from coachings cause of a busy uni schedule
I'm making an effort to play a decent amount from today onwards and post hands every single session.
BR sits on 2000.64 and I'm playing 2/4$ SH on Pokerstars.
Just saying hi guys, I'll post my stats weekly from today forward!

By dakrynveii
Short Term Goals
-Reach 3-6 by the end of semester (4 weeks).
-Post at least 5 hands every session.
I've also ordered Winning In Tough Hold'em Games by stoxtrader!!
Also I just started using the approx charts today, at long last.
TerrorBlade
Nice to see you're back in green numbers ![]()
This stoxtrader's book is perfect and will improve everyone's game for sure. If nothing else, you'll change the way you're thinking about certain situation at least.
Good luck
