Break after losing bankroll ^^
Alright so it’s pretty much gone, and I’ve decided to take a break. Not sure how long but we’ll see…
Went from my all-time high to close to my all-time low in one day, in 25 consecutive losing games. At one point I played a $570 heads up in which I picked up AK in the first hand. Got it all in just to see my opponent holding Aces. That was pretty bad.
Anyway, luckily the money doesn’t matter too much, the pride does however — this started off as a bet winning €500 off a friend, now I suppose it’s time for a new bet…
We’ll see when I return to blogging here, until then — enjoy the archives! ^^
Hi,
I read most of the posts… didn’t expect this brutal ending. Some well known big mistakes… trying to recover losses by going at a higher limit and playing on tilt. I just made it myself, too. At some moment, when all went well, I was asking myself if it will be possible to lose 8 in raw (5$ heads up). Of course it did, and it went much worse, losing all 100$ after going at 10-30$. After this and after reading your blog I’m now convinced that everything is possible at the table and only tough discipline can make me a winning player. I plan to make a scrupulous reading on Poker Mindset by Matthew Hilger and Ian Taylor; it’s a very good book for psychological part of the game. And I’ll change the site, LuckyAce Poker it seems it’s not so lucky
Hope you’ll return to blog
