Is it just me that's so stupid?

Crikey.

I do it time and time again.

Latest : Had spun £30 up to £700. Pretty much thought I'd made it. Love HU and was winning more, far more, than I was losing.

But had a spell at 30nl 6max and everything went against me. Like crazy. I know it happens but I took it bad. Went to a 200nl and threw 3 bullets, 3rd hand in, into the exact hand I was representing. Ooops. Only way back, obviously, was to take on redmond in a £400 HU STT. Raced into a lead. He raced into an understanding of me. And raced into busting my KK with 10,5o. Cruel game.

Lessons learnt though. Been grinding £5dyms to get the br back up. Up, up, up so treated myself to a £5 BH. 124 runners. 2nd of 4th and of course I run my kq that hit into 7-2 that hit harder.

Question is,

Is it just me that goes stupid busto? ljamesl must of at some time?

TRIP5

Same!

My tactics are to move up the levels

[ ] This works.
[x] Do not do this.

DOHHHHHHH

Does this mean you went broke in the space of one night/session? Or a period of time?

I've bust my account a few times, but if you only leave a % of your bankroll in your account at a time then it's not too bad, especially fot a BR nit

I'm wont chase when I've done significant damage, so if my account (10xbuy ins @ 50nl) goes bust, I go to bed. Even if I lose a few buy ins I'd rather log off than play on...

If you can't do that, then you can set a 24 hour deposit limit on your account, so if you bust it, and want to deposit more, you can limit the damage before hand.

Like if you have 700 quid playing 30nl, and u have 60 quid left, rather than spewing it, log off and that's like trebbling up your very first hand back next time! Thats how I think anyway.

Also having a seperate bank account for poker money will help you manage your bankroll, so you can withdraw winnings and hold them in reserve rather than spending it.

------

I also find that busting my account is a wake up call, and I play very well for a few sessions after. 

Wish I could be that motivated all the time like, but nvm.

I think you know the problem lol. Tighten up your BR management. When you run bad, dont step up a few levels. Drop down a few levels until the bad luck runs its course and work your way back in to it. Got to love the fact you thought you'd go fishing for LOLUFOLD to get your money back though, fair play to you. Blaze of glory stuff that.

You are trying to reconcile poker strategy with character.
The problem is a winning player is a bum-hunting geek.
You Sir are a lordly poet !
In the end you will become the greater player.
Have faith. It's only ups and downs.
Most players CAN'T spin £30 into £700 in a few hours. It'll take them months of whinging about variance when they play exactly the same game as their opponents.
Rules are for wise mens guidance and for fools to follow.

Lol, for every 1 person that this advice helps and works for, there will be 999 naive fools that listen and lose everything, ending up on their rs's.

GL being the lucky 1 dude, that is if you don't lose everything trying to become him.

Play the %ages ftw.

Cheers Shelski.

I agree that the drama was kinda worth it. Very few on here have played Reds on a £400 HU STT. I have. I'd have preferred the money but one must look for the condolonces in life.

When I hit, I'll hit big. And even then take on Ivey to prove a point. It's a sickness I tells ya. But what can one do? Even Dostoevsky was a gambling addict. And it's not like I'm gambling with real money. It's just my poker money.

I love all this 'Oh just spin a roll up' if you wanna do it fast why not just stick it all on black and gamble properly

good post

i have run nothing to 5k and more and then lost the lot again, basically if you have a gamblers mentality it will bite you in the end but remember as you point out you will have some fun and no little success along the way

i respect anybody who grinds a living i personally dont find playing for 8 hours + day fun (ive got a job that bores me to death already)

good luck ban

Yes Dostoyevsky was chronic man. The Gambler is one of the most exhilarating books i've ever read. Fantastic stuff and in a way probably right  up there with Super System in the pantheon of classic literature ? Your views here would be appreciated.
There are a lot of people who would seem to me to be incapable of figuring in experience and fun into their poker story, especially when relating to loss.
These are the same people that advocate that poker isn't gambling EVER. I mean it's pure skill over time right ? And it's not like casino games where the house always wins irrespective of outcomes !?
Good luck to you man. I think you realise that everything is loss, after all you've read Kerouac amongst others. In my opinion you can't go far wrong.
Good posts man. Thanks. I enjoy them and hope others do too.

Really ?? I wish you luck..lol

Its not just you Bandini!

I have been guilty of this the last couple of nights.

It is a buzz to play the higher cash levels but without the back up of a proper bankroll it's a bit silly, as I have found out to my cost. Never again...

until the next time lol

Been a while since I read it but seem to recall it being an excellent study of the gambling mind. He was the man to write it. Apparently everything he wrote was submitted without editing as he was in such desperate need of cash to pay his chronic gambling debts. Greatest writer of all time and a total degenerate. What a guy.

Wikipedia tells me there's a film adaption released in my year of birth starring James Caan. Surely Hartigan's seen it? I'll love-film it once this weekend's hangover abates. Wednesdayish one should imagine.

lol. I never did buy into this image you've created of being a nit. Keep up the good work Hoggers, funny stories to tell are far better to have than money. Money's rubbish. Any fool can accumulate money. Except for me.
