- i am a wannabe grinder
- i cannot take 2nl seriously and make crazy ass plays
- i routinely tilt my entire roll off after a bad beat or loss of consecutive pots to foregin plays
- i tilt too much
and then-
earlier today i was raging at a (russian) player for calling me down to the river with air and spiking a 6 to beat my ak in a blind vs blind situation. i jammed the river and he called.
an australian on-looker said "dude, u didn't hit the flop, stop betting when you don't hit the flop"
i think i told him to **** off. but then moments later i was humbled, the guy spoke sense - i need to stop betting when i don't hit, this is 2nl after all.
so i did. and these are my results
session
goals
- continue playing appropriate style for 2nl until i reach 100$
- do not under any circ. take shorts @ 5nl+/sng's/mtt
- quit if feeling tilted/lose 3bi in under five minutes
i have realised playing more sensibly at this level has reduced the potential for me to get myself involved in stupid spots where i will inevitably loose and tilt
so upwards and onwards, 100$ here i come!

so, today ****ing sucked. i just do not understand
my graph is almost a perfectley smooth normal distribution curve.. how is this possible... it's like i am intentionally loosing pots in spots to get the right curve...
i really couldn't win a hand today, flopped trips and got beat by full house, flush over flush, set over set, rivered straight. so frustrating
taking a break

so just finished off a 2 horu session, racked up a good 3k hands and made a nice profit
a few bad beats and a little under ev but i'm not too fusses. managed to pull a monster pot right at the end of the session.
i want to post some hands but multi-tabling and especially at 2nl 99.9% of hands are not v interesting/are straight forward...
current profit: + $21.25
i planned to post some hands but for some reason hm2 isn't allowing me to pull the hh and upload....

just finished another really ****ing frustrating session
i played well. did every right, still ended in profit - yet for two hours work, hands like these are just mind blowingly annoying....
and it doesn't end there...
extremely annoying... i can't wait to get out of 2nl. meh, i doubt 5nl will be anything different.
here is the session graph
and here are all hands from today
my bankroll's at $75, i will take a shot at 5nl once i reach $100
