Hey 2p2,

I am an 18 year old student from Brno, Czech Republic.
I've been playing poker for ~1.5 years (yes, I played underage ) and so far earned ~15k$ playing Heads Up cash games (not bad for my country).

Unfortunately, due to FTP shutdown (6k$ there), bad luck at MSNL (used to play 200NL) and other factors (too much party ) I decided to withdraw 2k from my PS roll and start again at NL50 with 588$. I'll be playing the short 50bb tables, as well as the normal 100bb ones.

I'll be taking shots at NL100 when I have around 1.5k$ and move down if I lose more than 3BI.

Goals for the rest of November:
[ ] no tilt
[ ] >1k$ profit
[ ] >5k hands (thats 20BB/100)

CLIFFS:
~ FORMER MSNL HU PLAYER
~ STARTING HU CASH AT NL50
~ STARTING BR: 588$
~ BRM: MOVE UP WITH 15BI

NSFW for good luck:

Today I played a short twotabling session and made 179$. I though I played good, but have to admit that I got lucky in a few spots. Will maybe play later, but I usually don't put in a lot of volume (one of my weaknesses that I have to work on). Also, my new computer keeps crashing in like 4hr intervals so that sux and i'm gonna have to get it fixed :/ (it also ended today's session so i'm a bit worried it might happen during a big hand).

Also managed to run into aces 3times in 487 hands and stack off in all three of them while whenever I get some premiums they just fold . /great

Will maybe play more today, but doubt it. I'll have to start running good over the weekend or this bs will drive me crazy :/. Heres some NSFW for some final rungoot =). I didnt want to have a losing day at NL50, but this bad luck is just ridiculous - at least I am playing way lower than usual so I should be happy I saved up some $$$ .

Naw man it happens like this all the time, trust me. Keep your head down and keep grinding (as long as you feel good/not tired/not tilted). And remember how much you have profited from the game. This should make you feel better Good luck next time!

I think its time to take a break from poker... like a month or till the ftp gets up and running again. Played 437 hands, lost 90$, but felt like i lost the minimum and if i switched seats with villain i would have crushed him for like 400$... Seems like I just cant win at pokerstars (i know that this is a ridicolous statement to make but i simply have a mind block right now). Atleast i didnt tilt at all, but still sux...
