330 hands a day? My god.

You need to talk to Jurn if you think 330 hands/day is a lot.

 

[Emperor IX]

Wait, do you mean as a lot or very little?? I ask b/c there are some here that play 5k hands in a day

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. 330 avg is a lot for ME personally, but I've been playing a lot lately. There were actually 2 1k hand days in there, haha

I think my career high is like 4k hands in a day

 

[Lemlywinks]

OMG

there is a 39/8 donk at 3 of my tables (yes i joined all of them)
earlier today he jammed A9o AIPF and I called w AQs ofc he hits a 9
come back 6 hrs later and 22 on a 2K8 board OFC the nutcase happens to have 88!! that's frustrating as shit

 

[Lemlywinks]

AND HE AUTO LEAVES AFDLK;AFJD;A

Both days were my only 6tabling days. Handled them quite easily, so 8tabling should be pretty frequent for me when I get my new computer next month (possibly 12 if the resolutions are high enough, it'll be two 24" monitors)

 

[Cheezymadman]

330 hands is like ~3.5 hours for you?

Not even. I installed Pokertracker the other day, and since then, I've logged 129 hands in 2.1 hours. 75% of that was in the Guinness on Stars.

0 3-bets over 420 hands but you called anyway?

 

[Cheezymadman]

0 3-bets over 420 hands but you called anyway?

Not like it was out of character for the guy. First time he 3bets in 420 hands, and he's got bullets. Why he checked the flop after hitting his trips, though, I don't understand.

And then 4betting the turn with a pair of kings on the board? Who knows what that's all about.

Set mining ldo.

 

[Cheezymadman]

What's LDO? I keep seeing it on here.

 

[eNTy]

100NL is impossible I just breakeven for hours on end. I think I'll just stay at 50NL forever and ever.

100nl HU?

 

[SeanyJ]

100nl HU?

Yessir. I'm -$50 over 6300 hands it's boring

 

[Emperor IX]

Argh. Awesome job blowing todays 10nl profits in 11 hands at .5/1 fl. Freakin' people thinking Ace high is good and hitting

 

[bw07507]

God I seriously just ****ing hate poker now. Any time i win a decent amount, I immediately shit it away in the next session. Its time for me to seriously consider quitting. I get no enjoyment out of playing anymore, it stresses me out to no end, and I just cant win no matter what the **** i do.

I had a nice run while it lasted, but its time to give up. I left like $500 in my account, I will prob just be ****ing around at 25NL with it.

 

[Infamous1020]

youre seriously quitting bw?

 

[bw07507]

youre seriously quitting bw?

I've said it b4, but this time im serious. I havent won a dime in over 3 months. I tilt like no ones business, its not fun anymore, I throw temper tantrums when I lose, it causes stress in my life. I hate to lose more than anything else in the world. I could literally care less about the $$$. Its the losing that gets me so bad and causes me to rage.

In poker you have to accept that you are going to lose a lot of the time and I've finally realized, after a year and half, that I will never ever come to accept that. Even when I was winning and profiting hugely I still screamed and threw shit around whenever I lost (didnt matter if it was 10NL, 25NL, or 200NL).

I dunno, it just seems pointless to keep doing something that stresses me out so bad especially now that I dont win anymore cuz the tilt/rage has gotten so out of control.

[Infamous1020]

yeah, i hear you man. dont do something if its just causing stress and isnt really enjoyable anymore.

maybe just take a break for a few weeks or something?
