The bad run made me go below 0 again

Slightly though, going down to small games for a couple… Need to refocus

Oh by the way…

Previous post guy?

I won the game.

Ha! That felt good ^^

I’m a winning player again (for now)

Hehe it’s close but two days ago I crossed the 0 mark again on sharkscope, and haven’t dropped below since. I’ve been going up and down at $30+ and now I’m at $60+.

It’s still very close, but I’m back after my steamer-bankroll loss. I was down to -700 on my low point, happy to report I’m trying to play the $10+$1 games again (in combination with some 6-tabling at 16$ 9-handed), and I’m trying to keep things moving up slowly.

Fingers crossed.

Back after my break…

Hi guys!

I’m back at Stars after my one-month break. Have been playing a steady game over the last couple days and haven’t really encountered many strange things… Steadily climbing back to the “winning player mark”. We’ll see whether we can crawl back — I’m very aware of my steaming-capabilities, so I’ll do my utter best to keep that to a minimum.

First sharkscope update will be here later on tonight I suppose.

Ciao!

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! ^^

Lost about my whole bankroll there…

Teh Jinx — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 04:05:32 +0000

Played like a baffoon, had no respect my for my bankroll, lost some SICK hands with people continuously catching 3 outers for example — and winning no coinflips…

It’s my own fault, played way too high too — but feel sick about how bad I ran tonight…

I literally lost 23 games in a row. 23. Probably played under par at the later half of it, but still — that’s sad luck…

Oh well, not a huge deal — but sucks none the less.

I should really take a break…

Haven’t played too intelligently over the last couple days — time to take a break I think — not sure I’m capable of doing so…

End of day +$763

First time I am over 750 in the plus so that’s excellent news for me. Played reasonably well, got a little unlucky only cashing in one of six 16 9-man sngs i played but did well heads-up. Played a little low-stakes razz which ended up in the plus too…

Here’s my graph, I’ve come a long way since -450.

Hmmm played that pretty bad…

I think I should have smoothcalled there hoping an ace or a K didn’t peal off… Or am I wrong?

Running in to a cooler when you move up stakes sucks…

Teh Jinx — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 03:52:39 +0000

I’ve been coolered pretty much throughout my whole test run on the $23 games, quickly losing about 15% of my bankroll…

Time to slow down I suppose…
