Well readers (reader? anyone??), its been a long time.
After my last entry in August when I was excited about the fishiness of the site I was playing on and my BR cracking $4K, I proceeded to donate more than $1,500 to those fishes in the last 10 days of August. All at 50NL and 100NL. Ouch.
So I decided to take pretty much all of September off, playing less than 4K hands after more than 30K in August. I came back to the game gradually in October and started to crank up the volume a bit more towards the end of the month, but hit another large downswong and dropped another $560, took another week off, and just today started playing again.
Bottom line, again, is that I suck at poker. My lifetime story is not pretty – after I smashed 2NL, I broke even at 5NL for a while before eventually beating it comfortably, cruised through 10NL, marginally beat 25NL, and …. just cannot beat 50NL. I have been trying since February and have played more than 80K hands of 50NL, and am a loser.
Just so you know how crap I really am, here are my lifetime records:
My BR is still just under $4K, thanks to my bonus whoring skills being WAAAAY better than my poker skills (plus $712 last month in fantasy football winnings – maybe I should do that more instead of trying to play poker …).
The bad news is that I think I have two major, fundamental problems with my game. The good news is that I think I know what they are. I mentioned in August that I was going to come up with a plan to fix my leaks, so that will be my next post. The only difference will be that instead of a series of smallish leaks to work on, I think I need to focus on these two big things.
Until next time.
