Today didn't really go as I had planned, I played for far too long, 10 hours. At one point I was up 2bi's and literally on the verge of leaving (i'll just finish the next two hands until the blinds get to me) - and 5 hours later... I'd managed to churn through my profit plus 3bi's. I played quite poorly at the end of the session. That and the £50 taxi home made for a very expensive first night.
I bought some clothes today, so only have like 1bi left. I'm trying to decide what to do, my options are basically: -
1. Play with 1bi see what happens.
2. Play online some other micro stake with the 1bi.
3. give up.
I hate the thought of giving up, but i've tried just about everything. Something Jyms said earlier about me needing to follow brm, and that being the problem all along. I'm thinking of maybe trying something like that online 5nl or something but god the thought of it. Then again maybe I really should call it quits once and for all, and just save up some money and once or twice a year go on holiday to a poker tournament and play there with the prospect of taking something big down.
I think the biggest problem I have with the prospect of giving up poker is that I can not figure out another avenue for developing half decent sums of money, although poker hasn't gone my way in these past 4 yrs it's the prospect of how it would benefit me if it did that has kept the dream alive.
So what do you guys think? I'm pretty sure you will all tell me not to play with 1bi, so ruling that out, do you think I should play 5nl or something, or just call it a day with poker?
Edit: Having thought on this I think my plan will be to cut ties with poker until I have saved up 30bi's for £200nl. Then try again. If I work super hard at not spending much I anticipate this will take me about a year. Do you think that sounds sensible?
