Had a massive break.

edited August 2010 in Poker Chat
Ive had over a month off playing at the tables, I was going to make deposit else where but did not in the end as I felt I still needed more time off.
Sooo ive decided to stick with sky and stick to strict BR managment as I am always going bust. Put it this way the longest ive kept a roll for is like 3 weeks maybe abit more!!!
Ive been playing on off since I was 19/20 ish, but now relise nothing comes without hard work time and effort
So on sunday I will be adding £40.00 to my account and seeing if i can stick to 2p/4p till its atleast doubled to £80 before I even think about moving up.
I have also made a small spreadsheet on my pc with time played blinds and all the other basic info money started with final cash out and ending balance.
I feel my main probs with [playing is even if I loose like 4pounds for some reaso I go on complete LIFE tilt which there is no need for!!
Any thoughts please feel free to drop a comment in
Thanks


PS will post updates if anyone is actually intrested in follwing me fail within 3 days.

    Interesting.

    I've been playing for 7 months now and have yet to make a profit in any one of them. I've even taken down a couple of MTTs in that time. But my br management is beyond ridiculous. I've sat down at at a 50/£1 table with entire br more than once.

    I'm planning concentrating soley on cash next month too. But I just can't be bothered with the 2/4p tables. Don't have much more of br possibilities than you but I'm going straight to the 5/10 ones at minimum. If I go bust, I go bust. And I'll start again next month.

    I'll compare results with you dude.

    Wow this is me all over! everything u have put in your post is the same as how I am. I cant be bothered with 2p/4p BUT I know its the only way I can move up and get better. Ive sat at 40nl with 20£ and run it upto 100£ then after just cash out, but thats not poker in my eyes.
    I would like to compare results and maybe we should both just practise BR managment and start off at 2p/4p. Well cheers for ur reply and ill see you at 2p/4p lol ( Unless I loose £2 then im going on life tilt and moving upto 50nl)

    Ps u think thats a joke lol.................its sad but its not.

    lol.

    Tilt? Read my 6 out of 126 thread I just posted. Jee-zo that was cruel.

    Ain't doing 2/4, but am defo moving to cash. Be interesting to see how we compare. Reading Harrington's cash book just now.

    never play while drinking--
    never play with the red mist(tilt)

    most important of all is--

    never play tired online--keep taking breaks away from the tables--

    You will get tired much quicker if you play with drink - also too confident and careless.

    So you may win a fair few pots early doors but then lose it all back and more (much easier to go on tilt playing with booze too).

    + 1 to dont play when tired or drinking, i have done 2 thirds of my bankroll because of this over the weekend grrrrrrrrr!!!! basically was playing poor bankroll 2 and sitting with £12 on 30nl, would run up then make one stupid play and lose it all, went out saturday and woke up sunday 9 still feeling drunk lost about £35, then left for few hours again run up then a stupid play and all gone, accidentally registered for MTT 5.50 which i bubbled then was down to £18, put for on no limit omaha and got to £12+ so just need to stop playing when tired again always does my bankroll, only got £30 to play with now, will be in deepie tonight hopefully give it a boost, should just stick to sit n gos as seem to kill them and play cash when properly rolled for nl10

    GL mate you can do it, i need to be more strict tooo. although i dont tend to deposit often just run bankroll up then nearly bust so then have to grind away frustrating

    hahahaha

    It'll probably be next week before I start cos I've had a brutal month's drinking and I'm skint. In saying that I've 8 bottles of Kronenberg left in the fridge and £11 left in my sky account so might hit the £1/£2 tables yet lol

    And I agree that drinking helps my game for the same reasons CJ has stated. The paradox being that it's also when br management goes COMPLETELY out the window. It's a hard life being a gambler.

    A ridiculously camp and utterly detestable member of the egg-heads quiz team (show that's sometimes on BBC2 about 6ish where a quiz team will take on the eggheads who are all quiz masters.)

    Apologies for calling you it but there is a similarity with your profile photo. Blame Dohhhhh. He started it.
