DONT DO THIS TO ME!!

Im sitting here. Determined to grind 40k hands before i go to sleep. Im @ 9k, and now pokerstars wont let me in.

Im a little tired. Not to say im willing to play in the worst hours of the day to reach this goal.

Sitting with 1l coffee that is getting cold. The icecubes in the coke is melting. My eyes gets heavy.

Anyone else that cant log in to pokerstars? _evil:

aaand it works. phew

2nd SESSION
1251 hands
1. quarter -1/10
2. quarter -100/10
3. quarter -500m/10
4. quarter 1/10

So what tilts me? I get annoyed by the ppl i take the money from?? Not rational. Just stupid. Looks like a lot of the regs has started to do the same thing. But that wasnt what tilted me.
I tilted because i made a huge mistake. I made the mistake because i was in a so good mood but so fucking stupid. The guy steals 73% from sb. As if he hasnt noticed i dont like that. But defending his minraise by clicking it back is just stupid..........
Then after that because i lost that hand, i started to rage out loud on everyone that made stupid things. I did however stop the session with a huge bluff to a fish the keeps bleeding 3bb in to a 16bb pot. So i stole 40 bb from him. But i could just aswell lost that pot if he was a real fish, that knows how Jhigh sometimes is good

I didnt really lost that many bi in that session though, my heater still seems legit. But i REALLY need to understand how i can go from playing flawless for so many sessions, to have a session like this. And that requires a walk i think.

3rd SESSION
3700 hands
1. quarter 4/10
2. quarter 8/10
3. quarter 6/10
4. quarter 10/10

Back to solid agame :D and heater is ON

Idk, i guess in the heat of the moment i wanted the money in while i still had eq. But he is never folding overpairs here, and he is offering such a good price that if i call and miss, i can just fold and still turn a profit in the longrun, since he probably wont stop barreling when a :heart: comes.

I believe discipline is something everyone have, if they want what they work for - hard enough.
I promised myself to stop pretending to be a kid and play video games atleast for this month. And see how much time it actually sucks out of u.

As you mentioned, i play micros so i cant afford any real things atm. Used my old br to buy grinder pc, and monitors.

Thanks man. Same goes to you ofc.

tiltbreaker is probably useless. Its for recreationals. A thing that helped me alot was erikstenqvist's master ur mindset series.

It hasnt always been like that. But now i have got a timeline, so i know how fast i need to work, in order to succeed, otherwise, i will be forced to educate myself, so i can get enough $$ for food. And that includes ofc some math and stuff, but also some oblicational stuffs like analysing poems, and stuff like think: "what would he say with this poem etc" Stuff i feel is a waste of my time :coolface: so therefore im pushing to the limit
