I was unknowingly playing Omaha under rolled. I've been working with a couple FTRers on HE so there's more motivation. | |

I cannot play FTR games. It's ridiculous. When I was getting near the 50NL bubble I kept blowing $20-50 here and there (this was prop bet stuff). My BR stagnates and it tilts me. Then I look at my HEM graph and I'm like WTF, I'm winning monies. | |

So people always talk about BR management as a function of the number of buy-ins. Another thing to consider, especially for the people moving up, is preservation. If you don't know that you can beat your stake, or are getting ready to move up stakes you really can't afford to be messing around with your money (see above post). Ironically, the same "it's chips not real money" mentality that is necessary at a poker table can cause problems away from the table. | |

Dropped 4 buy-ins after writing this on nothing but coolers, and the worst possible flops. | |

Move down if you don't think you have the skill, but just make sure you remember to try and move up as soon as possible to keep increasing your skill. |

Dude - I feel your pain. I'm one level behind u... moved from $10 to $25 a few months back. Took the roll up $1K over those two months and was feeling pretty good... Have dumped over $350 over the past two weeks by (in part) losing 17 out of the last 20 stack-offs with > than 75% equity when the $ went in. I def think looking at the HEM graph is worst. So I don't. | |

I was looking at my database again this morning. I'm on a $800 downswing . That's even more amazing because my roll wasn't even $800 in early Nov. So yay that I can lose that much without going busto, but it does make me feel sick to think about. Not really because of what $800 would do IRL (not help much), but because the variance is sick. | |

Damn dude tough luck. Definitely keep at it (and maybe no more FTR cash games?). I think 50NL is very different than 25NL but you should be able to beat it pretty solidly from knowing your game somewhat. If you ever want to sweat or something over the next few weeks give me a hollaaaa. | |
12-28-2008 06:04 PM
#107
| |
Meh, maybe I was lucky with my opponents, or maybe my 25nl game was well suited to 50nl. I really noticed very little difference at all. Downswing sucks, do some serious analysis and work out if its something you're doing wrong, or just variance. | |

By 50NL being better I mean the regs are better for the most part. You'll probably find nearly the same amount of fish if you play at the right times and some regs are just god awful but there will be some that will finally start thinking about your range as opposed to just his. But I think it's kind of easy to stay one step ahead of them. You'll often find yourself wanting to get 2 levels ahead (at least I do) and end up pwning yourself. | |

The only spot in my life that I see room for more than marginal improvement is poker. This is kind of depressing, and I think the reason that poker failures get me so down. This is bad because it adds another pressure to a situation that needs time to develop. And also sad because I'm obviously not trying hard enough. | |

K, well I'm back now for 09. Played 2k hands today 4-6 tabling 25NL, so probably about 5 hours. I'm content with that. Finished up 2 buy-ins. | |

I'm getting shit on by the deck today (and make a couple iffy plays). So since I can't get drunk and ignore life for the rest of the evening I decide to look at my stats. | |

Non-Showdown winnings is SUCH a hard thing to nail down. Mine tends to head southwards when I start calling PF with speculative hands. | |

So I was sitting around today, and I realized, ever since I moved to columbus, every single winter has been worse than the winter before it. So that means that every single winter that you see me, that's on the worst winter of my life. | |

Oh, my biggest advice for multitabling after playing 20 tables for a little under a week is fold. When in doubt, fold. | |

I take off work friday. Have played 3k hands 4-6 tabling 6max over the last day and a half. Am 2 buy-ins after just dropping 3 to 2 awesome beats and 2 coolers. It's nice that I'm not down much seeing as how I have never run this bad before. | |

Also realized something today. The reason I tilt at the online games is because I don't have time to process what's going on. I can take one or two buy-in beats and kind of just store them in my head to mull over later. But a third, oh shit. That just overloads my system and I freak out. I'm pretty sure I would be super calm live since I have time to process what's going on. | |

Took the time to run through your op this morning. There are shades of me in this, particularly in the psychology of your downswings, so it was oddly reassuring. That's probably no consolation to you, of course, but thanks. | |

I was going to also bump my drinking thread, but it's going nowhere so future updates are merged here. I feel this adds to the excitement. "OMG, I'm clicking on Swig's thread. Is it about poker, or alcohol!?!?!? I have no idea." | |

Swigg, Do you remember anything from when you switched from 10NL to 25NL? (assuming you started that low or w/e). I'm starting to take my shots and looking for all the tips I can get! | |

Dropped 2 buy-ins at 50NL losing flips. Took a break, made dinner. Dropped 2.5 buy-ins at 25NL getting completely coolered on every hand. | |

I thought you bought in for like 80bb or something. But alright cool. I wouldn't fret your small 3bet% because you can definitely still be profitable. Yeah maybe adjusting it can make it more profitable but it seems fine. And tightening up is so awesome. Feel good. | |

Down 7 BI @ 25NL over 2k hands so far this month (bulk of that the last 2 days). Interestingly, all of the losses are in showdown hands. | |
