Hello,
yeh, that is it - i decided to make a blog as well. Dont know how often i am going to update it and i might even cancel it after some time, but lets hope it wont come to that.
I dont know how long i have played poker but i think its enough for me tos ay i have seen ups and downs of poker. Now - like last 3 months my BR was hoovering around 2k and i got tired of it. I wasnt winning a thing. It seemes like all my work and time is for nothing. Had some issues in real life and i decided to take an interesting step. I cashed out like 750$ and left my BR at 1k. Moved down a limit and will try to see where this gets me.
Decided i could play 11$ SNGs and perhaps NL25. Because of issues i mentioned i lost laptop on which i used to play poker so now i am left with my old PC which has no tracking software on it.
So first steps in 11$ without stats. I focused on play a lot more than when i did have stats. Made some nice reads but still. Warning, readers - a little whining is comming. I cant believe how baaad is play on 11$ SNGs.. its terrible. There are some decent players (like yours truly, for example) but donks .. oh god. The whining part is - i cant win. Morale at 0%. Today i had one brilliant session where all my best hands won and i even made one suckout (KK vs AA) - i was sitting on all 4 tables with stack of 5k+ and massive chiplead. That boosted my moreale a bit again, but following SNGs killed it as fast.
I feel like standing in crossroads and cant decide which road to take. Make drastic change and start playing omaha or stud?!, play cash games? continue with donkfest SNGs and hope my luck will turn around? give up on poker? I guess its question only i can answer. Feel like giving up on poker might not be good idea, who knows - 2 months of breaking even doesnt mean much. I tilted a few times then - i know i can work on it. Thats also the reason of this blog - i feel it could make me more disciplined.
