How exactly do you measure potential to suck at life? And what does it mean if you shouldnt....but do?

Huge Hand Busts Adam Junglen, Propels Aleksander Vathne Near Lead

Aleksander Vathne raised in late position after a couple of limpers entered the pot. Small blind Adam Junglen thought for a while and re-raised from 6,700 to 21,000. Back to Vathne, who thought for about the same length of time and threebet all in. It wasn't a tiny stack either - he had Junglen covered and this was going to be nearing a six-figure call if he made it. Probably for the first time I've seen at an event, Adam Junglen looked a bit uncomfortable, and muttered something to himself - whatever misgivings he might have had weren't enough to stop him calling, though.

And so the aggressive young player misses out on Day Three by eleven minutes.

It sure does seem like I make posts like this a lot, but........here is how things have gone lately and here's my plans:

Since the Sunday Million I have done a lot of losing and very little winning. Part of this is sample size. I've done a lot of live play (but probably only totalling like 5000 hands or something terribly insignificant), and haven't really grinded much online. I've also ran pretty bad, and played less than perfectly.

For doing Roy the huge favor of delivering him cash in Vegas, I will be getting staked very favorably in the WCOOP.

Basically 3 things can happen.

I can do poorly (lose Roy some money, resulting in a net of $0 for me).

I can do decently (make back buyins and have a ROI of ~100% or so for the stake, resulting in somewhere a little under $5000 profit for me).

I can do excellent (make back buyins and cash for in excess of $25,000, resulting in > $10,000 in profit for me).

If the first happens, I plan on getting back to my old ways and grind 2/4 online (and maybe some 1/2 too).

If the second happens, I will try my luck at act 2s, act 3s, and 5/10 at Foxwoods, resulting in another one of these 3 possible scenarios, scenarios.

If the third happens, I will focus on act 3s and 5/10 and 10/25 (if I magically profit for over $50,000 in the WCOOP) at Foxwoods.

I will provide updates during the WCOOP and hopefully do well enough to have some fun Foxwoods updates and such.

Played pretty well and ran pretty well in event #1.

Unfortunately, with 1586 people left, with a starting field of 4610, I found myself in a 18,000 chip pot when the average is under 9000. I had 43% equity (and I win the pot a lot of the time without even having him call me, and have him call me and have him CRUSHED maybe 15 to 20% of the time) and was unable to hit. Would have put me in like 90th or so chip position, at a pretty weak table. Ahhhhh rats.

After the first 2 months of this bad run, I lost my will to consistently grind. Ever since then I have only felt the itch to put in a good multi-tabling session sparingly, and every fucking time I do I get shat on. It's fucking unreal. 4 straight months of getting absolutely shat on.

Played 1250 hands today.
