LOL! Well, you convince me Stewie. That's true and I know all I have to do is get used and level up myself and then I'll have no problem. First times are tough. Well, same thing happened to me when I went from NL2 to NL5.

Better result this night session. I kept playing at NL10. All I gotta say is villains are really mad here. They are too aggressive and they 3bet as a bluff too much. I think I might take a lot of advantage as soon as I get more used to this level.

Ouch! Another bad session today saturday. Keep playing and will keep playing at NL10. If downswings takes my bankroll down to $300, then I'll go back to NL5.
I didn't play bad this session, I think. I only did one stupid thing but the rest of the hands were played more or less correctly.

I had several bad beats to villains hitting river with hands which were underdog. But well, variance... what to say? Too bad variance comes exactly when I try to hit it at NL10. But well, I'll keep on struggling.

My red line wasn't great but at least was positive. This loss hurts a bit. Fortunately I will cash a $10 bonus for reaching 1000 FPP.

My EV says -$13 for this session.

Recovering from yesterday's bad session =)

nice! keep it up man!

Well, well, well. This is my worst session ever. I'm so frustrated right now. However, I'll still go on playing at NL10. Still have 60 dollars to lose until I go down a level.

I have so much to study, so many videos to watch. I think there are many things I don't understand about this game. I'll dedicate much more time to study from now on and less time to play. With one hour a day I'll be fine and the rest of the time I'll be studying because this really sucks. It's not only about bad beats that I lose. I also lose because of some spots where I find myself pretty lost.

Well... gotta go on struggling!!! I always have hope that with hard work I'll move on up.

sup viper, hey mate, look, 30BI for micros its MORE THAN OK, those downswings are normal even when you move stakes, anyway the plays on 5nl through 10nl doesnt change tthat much, its just get used to the sizing nothing else. add me on skype i will be glad to help you out on pluggin some leaks or help you out, alertuu is mine, see ya there.

Thx Alerttt. I will add you later. Right now I just had another bad session and I think I'll take some days off playing. =)

yup, thats ok, take a break once in a while, or when you need it, one advise, at least it works for me, when you go on a break, take a BREAK, dont play/study/talk about poker, take a break off everything, then come up as a fuckin bull.

Remember to give me a nudge on Skype Viper

Hey guys. Been some days since I posted my last update.

I'm going through my worst downswing ever. I lost half of my bankroll these last days, which really really sucks.

I don't know... It had been such a hard work to reach to the point where I had reached... and now I'm back again to where I had started. I'm like Sisifo, pulling up the rock over and over again.

I won't ever quit as long as I have a bankroll... but I feel desperate to gain what I have lost. I'm playing my worst robotic poker and what is worst: I haven't lost what I have lost due to bad beats (yeah, there have been some) but due to awful and horrible play of mine.

I'll take a deep breath, maybe take some days... but I feel hopeless about having solid winnings in this game. I feel it is impossible for low stake players to climb the mountain and maybe some day play at NL50.

What's up, people?

At the moment I've quit playing at my PS account and I'm playing as a staked player at BetVictor. My beginning was terrible. Firstly because I couln't get used to the site and felt it was too uncomfortable, secondly because I felt it was full of fishes and therefore was making very bad calls/bets. And thirdly because I was running pretty bad and that helped to the fact that I was losing a lot.

However, I still don't feel as sure of my poker as I used to. I feel I'm not playing my best game and the truth I'm a little lost right now.

However, at least I won 1 buy in in today's session. Maybe I'll start turning things back to normal.

The positive thing is that I'm taking it as easy as I can and even though I did get nervous about losing so much at some point, then I took some days off (not voluntarily, though, but because I had a lot of work) and could come back in a better mood.

This is my graph so far at BetVictor:

Still got a long way to recover. I have recorded my last session. I'll see if I can post it =)

Little by little Im recovering my best game so far. Making good decisions (even though last session wasn't the greatest). But I like how I'm playing right now... will be posting graphs soon.

On the other hand, I must admit I'm not studying at all. I know that's not ok but the truth is I don't have too much time. These last two months of the year are the most busy for me. No time at all at weekends and during week maybe some hours. So all my spare time is spend on playing.

On january I'll be able to study... and set some goals for a 2014 year which will pump me up like hell.

Of course goals won't be monetary but focused on studying and improving my game.

Keep on grinding and it will become positive! Deffs making time to study will help. I think it takes players time to change sites and software + getting used to the new players. Its not just you buddy. I have high hopes for you as a staked player and im sure you will carry on to turn this around and get into profit.

Yeah, probably getting used to the software and villains in different sites takes some sessions. It's true. Players are completely different ant BetVictor than PS.

Keep grining Vipes! The work you're putting in will only lead to great things

Big end of 2013 for you buddy!

I played a very short session at BetVictor tonight. Unfortunately I started to play late and there were few people so I just played 261 hands. However, I was on fire. I hit a lot of hands and was dealt many AA and KK. Not much merit on this positive session. Just got lucky. Anyone can play with the cards I received.

But well... I'm close to recovering from a very bad start:

And just to show off how on fire I was, check this out:

I can't, Jon. December is a crazy month for me. Full of work... and won't have enough time for lockdown.
