After being a struggling player for a long time I thought I finally got a hang of this poker thing. Reading books, watching vids, playing SnG's and an overall thight-agressive style brought me to build $150 to more than $1K. Had some tilt-issues in the past and thought I outgrew them. I was almost at the point I could start playing 50nl for reg. Now, after one crazy weekend of bad beats and a fatal case of monkey-tilt, I got myself broke.
I started with a 25nl session from hell where I lost 7 buy-ins in less than 2 hours. 70-30 and 60-40 mostly and also a few missed everything-daws. I was pretty pissed about it, but managed to not tilt because I made that mistake before. So I stopped playing cashgames and started a few SnG's. Just played basic, AA-KK or wait till 10bb and start shoving, style. But even here I couldn't win a single hand at showdown. So I stopped playing. Took a shower, ate, drank some beers with friends and went to a few nightclubs. So far saturday.
Sunday I woke up with a hangover. Because I mostly drank whiskey when I was out clubbing, it only was the kind of stinging headache wich you'll forget about when it's around for a while. Not the fucked up stomach like you'll get from getting wasted on beer. But w/e, felt well enough to play some poker. Started out fine and won two buy-ins with more or less hero-calls. Then I started thinking about the $120something and SNG buyins I was still stuck from the day before. Figured I would get it back sooner when I started playing 50nl.
Took some small shots before and it always ended up well cause my concentration is better when I play higher stakes. So I was casually playing four tables. Stole some pots in standard situations and was up a bit when the weirdest thing happened. Got AA on two tables and got them both allin pre. Identical raggish flops and both a K on fourth street. Sure as hell both opponents showed KK and I was getting in tiltville. Got JJ allin pre against I knew was QQ+. Started playing more and more like a donk as I was bleeding more and more money. Then I got Aces again, opened the pot with like $10 so there was no doubt I had AA or KK. Got called anyway and the flop was A22. Got it allin and the guy showed 22. All of tis in a few hours
I broke my mouse, walked out of the room, slammed the door and started nagging at my roommate who was sleeping on the couch and doesn't give a shit about poker. He looked at me like he was going to say "dude, grow up you pussy". That pissed me of even more and with the whatever money I had left I sat down at 600nl 6-max. Started 3-betting every opening raise and finally got it in with 88 and got called by what had to be AA. When an A hit on the flop my destiny was sealed and at once I was like really calm. Saw the 800ish pot got pushed the other guys way, typed nh and went to bed.
Today at work nobody really cared about my story obv. That's why I post it here. Maybe one of you went to something similar or maybe one of you will be in the future. I learned, for the thirth fucking time, that moving up limits isn't the way to cover losses. Shots, when taken, should be taken when running above expectation so you can affort to lose it. I thought about this issue alot today and this is the conclusion. My nature of not being willing to fail and to never give up has been a blessing, also in poker. Under normal to hard circumstances that is. When there is no possibility to succeed I push it anyway to a point where I make big mistakes and do stupid shit.
So I guess this was it for me and poker. Maybe one of you ballers is willing to get me back on track at 25nl and for $11 SnG. Or maybe I'll win the lotery this month, same odds I guess  . Otherwise I'll quit cause I'm not depositing any money I worked for anymore.
Oke, thanks for reading and have a good one.
GL to you all!
First session 25nl
D4imLeR, Apr 15 2008
25nl is working out awesome for me. I played an 2,5 hour session fullring, 6 tables. Result: up 5 buyins. I think 25nl is actually easier than 10nl because the opponents play more predictable. Got my money in good mostly. Few badbeats but they where against shortstackers so it could have been worse lol. GL to you all
