Kicked, Bruised Pissed on-The sequel

Here we go again people another mammoth loss. I am in a funk that i cant get out of.
What is worse is that i seem to have just lost all patience with the game and cannot stand getting sucked out. For instance today im in the BB with KK and PF the pot is capped with 2 others. Flop comes Kxx with 2 clubs giving me a set of Kings. Betting capped again im thinking what could this guy have capping me on the fop. Turn is a blank...and yet again we cap the betting.
and the river is a club giving him his flush and losing me a massive amount. It just started
to really get to me last night.

Im considering just becoming a bonus whore....and thats it just play for the bonuses and not go up in limits and stick to 1/2...i have been winning at this game for awhile now and as soon as i move up limits it seems i get sucked out a hell of a lot. What i thought about was just say keeping 1k in my roll and at the end of each month withdrawing what i had made over that. Still not sure though on what im gonna do im still quite pissed off at how ive been playing.

Roll is around $1500 at its highest point it was $1900

Hey All,

Took a day off poker then played again last night. Well it continues, the bad luck rolls on and im struggling to find a way to turn this thing around ive lost nearly all my confidence in poker and i need some help quickly!

I had been winning consistently for 3 months at this game and all of a sudden this has started happening. I played ring games and some turbo sngs on stars last night.

4 x $6.50 turbos on stars

1 x 2nd
2 x 4th
1x 9th

1 x $15 turbo

1x 3rd

Those that i lost last night i was the favourite going into the hand. The 9th place i had AQo in the big blind and called a small early raise. The flop came K10J rainbow giving me the nut straight, we raised and rerraised a few times before we went all in...he had K10 and hit his 4 outer K on the river. Just stuff like that it seems if there is a way i can lose it will find me.

In ring games i went down to the tune of around $35 dollars on the 1/2 tables. Im not sure how im going to be able to change this thing but i know i can win at this game, hopefully ill look back at this one day when its all turned around and laugh but for now im not enjoying poker all that much

Played an up and down session at the 2/4 table last night. Was down the up then down again but at the end of the night another $40 dollars to the bankroll. Much needed to at least make this month worthwhile im just glad im composed again and feel quite good about poker. Might just keep going at the 2/4 tables and see how things go.

+$40.00

Thanks for posting Stu. I am following your journal. Don't want you to feel like you are talking to yourself!!!!

JJ

thanks man,

good to know that people are reading this thing i also love it when peeps help me out with some of my hands etc and im gonna try post a few more either here or in the limit section on the site to have analysed.

Anyways tonights poker session

Well it all started the same as the last couple of days, my monitor in fact was close to having a whole through it at one stage and well luckily i composed myself. It defintely hurts when u flop a straight twice in the space of 2 minutes only to see it lose twice to river chasing flush suckout mutha bitches! that is what sux about limit i guess....if it were NL they would be paying alot more to see those cards.

Anyway i nearly walked away from poker tonight. As people might know things have been well just terrible of late. Suck outs missed flush draws and some tilty plays have seen my profits for this month just about all go down the toilet. From being close to cracking the 2k barrier well who knows just how little i may have soon.

Anyway the good and the bad.......i was down about $150 again tonight.....and looking down the barrel. Somehow i grabbed a beer and just got myself into the zone....it kinda reminded me of a boxer who had the shit beaten out of him for 10 rounds then suddenly got a second wind and nailed the knockout punch. Well indeed that is what occured.
I went on a mega rush and suddenly what was a $150 loss was a $35 win. Tonight i was up $35 after about 10 minutes and now i am still up by that figure hours later, still though i am very happy with my play to get it back as usually i only end up losing more. Even pulled off a couple of A high calls which are really pleasing when u think it through and make rational decisions.

So figures for the night +$35

Also rakeback for this month ill know soon but hopefully that will at least give me some sort of decent profit.

November 2005 Report

Well what can i say about November, it showed so much promise and started so well, yet also had me at stages wanting to withdraw my roll and get the hell out of poker before it ate up my profits!

Just a weird month in general i guess having highs of a $1900 dollar roll down to what i am left with now which is $1580.

Well to be honest im happy with this considering i was down even more than this at one stage and was looking at a loss for the month. However that being said i still cant help but feel a bit peeved that i dropped so much cash. All in all though $160 odd dollars profit for the month cant hurt. My session last night was a 1 hr quicky where i quickly dropped alot of cash when my A10 which turned into a boat was outrun on the river by an AQ boat. Still recovered from that and left up $15.00

Gonna try and play a more settled game this month and not try and make crazy amounts of money! im in no rush here as long as i can keep seeing improvement then i guess im happy. Still would love to get to that 2K marker in December will see what happens!

A nice 3 hour session last night where i managed to book a win. Ive decided that for the time being full ring is the way for me!

The way i see it the pros far out way the cons and well considering i can multitable maybe 2-3 full ring tables it is gonna boost my rakeback up a fair bit. Bankroll now over $1600 again and well i got alot of confidence in my play back last night.

+$75.00

ARGHHH GOD DAMN U

Ok im officially close to giving up. I lost over $200 on the weekend and i dont think alot of it was my fault. Bad luck, dodgy bonus whores and maybe some tilty play. I tend to get very frustrated when everytime i have say QK and the flop comes QQX they sole player im against has a pair of X's and has made his full house.

I mean come on, seriously

So what am i gonna do? well fked if i know but if it keeps going at this rate then im gonna end up losing my whole bankroll. A couple of months ago the world of poker was my oyster now i just feel like the cards arnt coming like they should.

So im open to suggestions here, a new site maybe? any good bonuses around at the moment?

I dunno im scared of losing my roll and it took me alot of work to get there. I need to get back 2 my roots, i was killing the 1/2 game previously and i think im heading back, i cant handle a 100-200 loss on a given night it really shits me
