*****(Loose) Aggressive April Chat Thread*****

[Chris_TC]

Your poker skill is largely determined by how well you can limit your losses during these downswings, and it seems like something you could work on.

Thank you for your valuable input. It looks like you know a whole lot about my game. Since the swing is leak-/ or tilt-induced, I guess it's good I'll stop playing the game altogether before I donk off even more money. Peace out.

i mean 10/20 is chock-full of ridiculously good players, i wouldn't be surprised if you were -EV at 5/10+

I finally made it. After being now stuck 42 buy-ins over 90,000 hands, I have hit $0.50/$1. Not much longer, and I'll get to play $.25/$.50. And once I'm underrolled for that, I'll ask for a flip on 3+3, hopefully lose and be done with the POS game that had us all fooled into thinking it could be beat. This may be my last post on CC, too. Have a nice day everyone. And better cash out before variance catches up.

I don't know you well at all Chris, but your good humour and positive state of mind in your posts here have been a source of admiration for me among the many many "OMG I LOST A HAND" posts that litter these threads.

And I'm sure there's a lot you've not shared about your state of mind when playing with us, and I have no clue what the game is like at the state you've played.

We are all wedded to this game (this is a poker forum after all) so chances are any advice or comments will be aimed at getting you to carry on, a variation of misery loves company.

Only advice I have is to do whatever you know to be the right thing, whether that's carrying on and trying again or moving on to something else. Either way do it with a clear mind.

After tilting away most my bank roll last month I have been playing solid if not earth shattering poker and hopefully this weekend will pass the 100 dollar mark again. Feels like a great acheivement to me right now, I am gonna try grind up to $150 dollars and then try the 3 dollar sngs.

Every time I have tried these I have been on tilt it would be nice to play my usual game see if I can take the next step.

Gl on the felts all.

Jesus just sat watching an old Aussie Millions cash game and Croc man was playing what a pain in the arse that guy is.

 

[dsvw56]

Upswongs anyone? I'm almost kinda embarrassed to post this because of the pathetic amount of hands I've played this month.

 

[eNTy]

I've also only played 17k hands this month, mostly 8 tabling on tilt, but I don't care because I'm finally winning.

Winrate>#hands imo.

Also tilt just has less hands/hour I think.

 

[GeoffLacey]

Nice. What limit is that btw dsv? Cos that red line is sick

 

[dsvw56]

10NL.

 

[switch0723]

on the verge of turning that frown upside down, line beginning to move upwards now which is a nice sight

 

[S93]

Is that 50 or 100, switch?
Either way it sucks that poker is kicking u in the balls

 

[eNTy]

stakes says 100nl

no sad faces!!!, my post was meant to be a positive that the sharp drop had flattened out

 

[dsvw56]

Switch, you just need one of these to make everything better. +10BI days make me happy.
