definitely sort this out, it's a sick type of tilt. Hell, I rarely even look at the table once i've clicked all-in until AFTER the hand is finished. What's the point, really? this was a recent evolution (mid-may) by the way, and it's gold.

sounds like my month, 17bi behind etc. Re the coolers, i thought the same, but then i ran filters over set over/under set and two card flush over/under two card flush and realised i was suffering selective memory and net only down 5 or 6 buyins on these spots.

spend a few hours on lines and bet-sizing vs getting allin on the river etc and you'll be shocked and it will make a bunch of money for ya long term.

I'm convinced that by and large a skilled player who was making money @ 20bb to 100bb can't make the same or better in the 50bb max and it's simple math to prove why. The fish and YOU don't start with as much money so you're already capping your upper gains. Then, when you add in all the pre-flop and flop shoving, which seems much more prevalent than before, your edge gets taken away even more-so. Top it all off with trying to adjust for half stack optimal strategy and money just isn't flowing in nearly as fast as before.
if you move up a blind level then your buyin is the same = money making is the same, right?

interesting, a few ftr regs have recently moved FTP -> stars and are singing in the streets about how much softer the games are on stars, i'm about to join them for a while
