New Rule
I had a long post written about the session following my previous update where I set some new goals. After starting it I proceeded to go on the largest downswing I’ve experienced in live poker. The last 7-8 sessions have been nothing short of brutal so I deleted it and replaced it with this update. I’m feeling slightly snake bitten since that post, so my new rule is that I’m not going to do any more graphical updates for a while.
I got a shot at a 5/10 game a couple weeks ago. It was an interesting game but I was really card dead. I still managed to book a decent win though after calling down in a huge pot with A high against Shamwow. Since then though, I can’t make a correct play and I keep getting coolered in huge pots. My last two sessions of 2/5 I’ve actually booked my two biggest live losses ever. I’ve played a little less than normal the last week, skipping a couple days I normally play just so I don’t go and tilt off a bigger chunk of my BR for no reason.
I think a few days off has me refreshed and ready to play again, not to mention getting some personal shit handled that has been bugging me for a couple weeks. I’m going to head back out tonight and check for a good game, if the cash games don’t look good I can play the weekly tournament and not worry about dropping 3-4 buy-ins again. It’s going to be much harder to reach those goals now, but I’m not going to stop trying. Need to start my Rabbit Run.
