Thanks :D Yeah, they're a bit brutal. Enough to keep me out of 2/4 for a bit longer, that's for sure. My std dev is 17.13 BB over ~25k hands, winrate is about 1.8BB/100 +rb and bonuses, so really like ~3.5BB/100

I often have +/- $100 days though. Pretty sick considering I was trying to grind 10nl four months ago and would tilt like shit when I lost my $10 bi. lmao, never going back to that shiz again.

Here's my last 6k hands. Supplemented with a 1st and a 2nd in consecutive $6 90 man sng's that aren't on the graph though

Yeah, from what I heard, 200bb downswings are not too uncommon. But if one wants to stop tilting in nl games, they should play like 20K hands of limit, see what tilting really is.

Defo. I'm fairly low volume obv, average session is ~500 hands and I try at least 4 or 5 times a week. I hover between 4 and 6 tables of FR, and I think the daily grinds will be bearable for me. Especially once I get to 2/4. It took me a bit to get into 1/2 due to the money being a bit meaningful. Having that same mental issue right now.

Within my 25k hands of limit there was a brutal downstreak (actually some of it is in that graph). Not sure if I could've withstood too much more of that one.

Do the FR games run that often? I mostly see the 6 max games running but very few FR games.

There are almost always at least 4 good ones going (good imo is 6BB+ avg pot), and usually like 12 total in case things wind down. 6max has more good tables but none of them are substantially better than 6BB+ avg pot, and the swings are much larger at 6max.

Played a sustained session of NLHE today for the first time in almost two months! Wheee! Ran 3bi's below all-in Ev! Yay! W$SD 45% (I normally average around 52%, didn't go to sd any more often than normal). Yeeha!

I know I'm not supposed to pay attention to this stuff, but I honestly felt like I played pretty well, so the indications that I just ran bad make me feel a little better (ended up down 2 bi's).

Taking a break from NLHE and focusing on PLO the last couple months I think is going to really help me out over the next couple of months, I felt a lot more confident in my NLHE game today than I did the last time I played.

Do not know why I play tourneys, getting to the final 2 tables just to see the huge fish suck out on you to win a pot that would put you in first position is just the most heartbreaking thing ever. Let me run good 1 time please. 4 hours for nothing :(

and miss out on the internet gold from the likes of kidkv and snow and miss the train wreck threads. Besides i do still try and help people when i feel like it, everytime time i do, my advice is ignored anyway (and this isn't even directed at the whole trigga thread crazyness)

Remember like a year ago, we had the thread of how to make cc top of the market so t could compete with the likes of 2+2, and the consensus was that in about a years time we will have a solid core of 15-20 players who regularly crush low-mid stakes and would atract better members causing cc to grow to the top of the tree. That went well.

sorry I havent replied sooner, but had to work last night.
No disrespect to you switch, I think you're alright, but I'd rather be a member of CC than a member of 2+2, there's so much hatred there, Im sure most members there would blow theirselves if they could, they love themselves so much. And as for another certain poker forum, which is so f**king elitist it's a joke. Give me Cardschat any day, most people here are so friendly it's unreal.
We would have had a solid core of 15-20 excellent players if a couple of them hadn't thrown their toys out of the pram and ran off, and then some others followed them like the sheep they are. Good luck to them, hope it's so good there that they don't need to keep coming back here.......oh, wait, hang on....
Anyway, rant over, Merry Christmas.

I'm sure you have seen dogs before? The reason we do not do it is because we can't.

lol - I really enjoy playing MTT's, but they tilt me to no end, esp when I look at the hourly rate vs. cash games (for me, at any rate, since it's been a couple of months since I've final tabled...)

LOL, I stopped looking at my tourney hourly, must be like 1$ an hour or something ridiculous like that. I'm not chainsaw, I cannot live on min cashes.


Maybe I might become a full time tourney player just to see how long it will take me to pluck my eye balls outs.

As much as I try to stay out of this whole thing, I think it's funny that members of the other forum are the only ones accused of being sheep.

Not saying that they (we) or CC members are sheep, I just think that it's kind like the pot calling the kettle black. Both sides have their own side, and both sides have opinions largely formulated by those directly involved.

Thats the thing, I might fall into that same category. I would just leave from time to time to get some food but I would become a hermit. I think this is true for like 95% of men.

I'm also trying to stay away from this.

fwiw, though, there are a couple of good threads in the suggestions forum here relevant to this discussion, one (inadvertently) started by feitr, the other by IveGotOuts - hopefully free of the kinda tense atmosphere.

Good! Think I've finally worked my NLHE tilt out and about to get back to playing (though I'm now planning on continuing to play PLO, was only supposed to be a temp thing until I got my mojo back), will be back on AIM and other forums soon.

Things going well for you? Hope I catch you on AIM after the holidays...
