^ I'd agree with that. Also if you think bad play is the cause of your losses then you should obv stop too. But if you genuinely think the losses are just due to variance and you can keep your head cool, then grind on.

12k hands in one day is pretty epic tho. Not sure how possible it is to maintain A-game over such a sustained stretch.

Losing like this will with like 99% chance affect literally anyones play... (below highstakes 110%)

My hands are incredibly sore from playing the main lick hundreds of times per session but my playing is getting better.

Play 20000 hands.
Getting there, I'll play a few hundred hands this Saturdaym. Should be fun.

Play against regs (and 3bet them on tilt).
OK, so that didn't work.

I'm starting to see a pattern here. Some coach is currently making a series called ''concept of the month''. At first I thought I was seeing things when regs started overcalling 3bets like crazy. But now everyone and their dog is donking flops for no apparent reason. Who's responsible for this? Is it you Ben?

Agree. Even if someones play don't change a lot i think that bad feeling after day like this will be 10x worse than 5 stop loses in a row.

Look at it like this. What of your other hobbies can you spend time and effort on and make money? Don't be upset with your results just look to get better.

Hey, whacking off is always EV neutral.

Yeah exactly. I shouldn't have added the "why bother" part. Honestly I'm ecstatic not to be losing money. Next goal is to start winning pre RB. I just play for the love and to improve and playing online has improved my live game so much. Played about 500 hours of live 50nl in a private bar game this year and I'm averaging over $13 an hour.

Depends on how much you value your spare time.

Sounds to me like your just clicking buttons though because i was making $4.19 per hour at $10nl when i last played 200+ hours.

A while back mind you.

In all fairness guys, 200 hours in a year is only 17 hours a month. Now I know Hap wasn't exactly mr volume, but come on now. Even he played 17 hours a month.

Just over 1/3 of my volume has been at 6max this month and I'm starting to enjoy it. There's something about valuebetting your top pair hand and not having that that feeling of concern growing in your mind as the pot gets bigger that you've been successfully set-mined yet again.

#Shots fired !!

Hope your well mate and enjoying life.

Remember when i challenged you to a Supernova challenge ??, that did not quite materialize as i thought it might.

Mzbourg is correct ... 204 hours in 2014, unfortunately 140 of those hours came in the first 4 months so poker has really dried up since May 2014.

Today felt really really weird, was constantly losing stack in weird/unexpected way. while I was pretty much playing B+/A- game most of the time, lost about 8 stacks while winning only 3 or 4. don't know if the day shoulda been worse or something. don't really post hands/ or things like this, just felt really weird the whole day. guess posting for run good
