Bankroll: €180.96

Oh boy, too bad! I know how that sucks cause had such a bad streak last year. Variance can be a big bi*ch! Hope your next sessions will be better!

And we are down to 150, really can't hit a thing. It's cruel.

It's not a tragedy, you'll just play €1 rebuys and €2 FOs for a few days and bounce back up quickly because they're softer than €5s :f_thumbsup:

And MTTs aren't the smallest games - remember that there are €1 SnGs that will save you if your balance dives below €30. You're likely underestimating your expected ROI at SnGs unless you're bad at 3-handed play at FTs, which you'd need to work on anyway if so.

Yeah, just take a break from online play whenever you're on tilt.

It's a great decision to take a break.

I wonder how you managed to lose €20 in 20 minutes :facepalm: I don't believe that could even happen at €1 HexaPro. Were you playing higher? :facepalm:

In order to execute your aggressive BRM properly, you need to be extremely mindful to detect the times when it's -EV for you to load any more tourneys (the C-game), as well as those times when it's less +EV to load a tourney at your normal stakes than one at lower stakes (the B-game).

In my case, I sometimes even know before a session that I'm in the B-game state because of non-poker reasons, so I just load exclusively lower stakes where I'm still +EV despite the bad mood (i.e. where my autopilot is still +EV), to restore the confidence, regardless of the BR size.

That’s a good one, I will keep that in mind.

Maybe do some work with equity calculators instead. That you have nothing interesting to do IRL doesn't mean that you absolutely have to grind poker.

I know, but I was into playing some games. It's not that I play because I have nothing to do (although my post maybe made you assume that).

GG :f_thumbsup:, sorry for my doubts :sorry: (I'm guilty of not playing when I have any reason not to play, and this has got me in trouble already).

No problem tony!

Had a session yesterday, but nothing went my way. Bankroll went down again to around 30ish.

I have an intake for a rental house on friday, so if all goes well I will be working on that mainly from next week until when it's ready.

Maybe I will start some games this afternoon or this evening. GL to y'all,
