gl man you got this
first to the moon, then to other galaxies

thanks man. just read your thread. very interesting to say the least haha. gl to you

since last post i'm down ~400. about even after RB. it's been a rough month. a rough few months i guess. i need to start embracing these losing periods and more so the swingy sessions. some players i look up to that have posted threads years back, most notably, z0mgtiltz, really seemed to be able to handle the 10bi+ swings much better than i do. seeing good players lose for a 50k+ sample has made me feel a bit more confident that i can break through. i'm aware that my losing isn't due to pure run bad. i have many things to work on mental and strategic. when i'm feeling down, i'll pull up z0mg's old thread and find a bit of inspiration. swings are normal, i need to understand that and move on.

still deciding on how i'll approach this upcoming week. may put in more hours studying, may just play. idfk

i dropped stakes so the following graph is in bb. mix of plo25 to plo100. around the 4k hand mark i mainly played plo100 again. i'm still concerned with my EV as i'm never under EV in a long sample, yet still losing. have had a few sessions running 8bi under EV as well. not entirely sure what this means.

another fun session. i spent a lot of time doing some work with plo trainer, decided to play two tables to keep focus, got crushed, complained, quit session. decided to take a look at that session to justify the bad variance. turns out i punted in 4 of the 5 biggest pots. all 4 punts started preflop. this hurt. i should not be making awful preflop mistakes at this point. fired a second session, played much better but still lost. this month has been an awful combination of bad play and bad luck. i should be way ahead of where i'm at, but trying to stay focused in the moment and not think too far into the future. it's been a rough month to be honest. hopefully next will be better. i'm -3k for the month before rakeback. funds running low between poker and bills. but i ain't stopping til i'm broke or dead. sorry mom.

Hoping things turnaround soon. Seems that you’re being honest in your thinking while putting in the hours—so chances are things will. Natural Child made me laugh with the Status Quo vibe.

soooo i am still here, just have been insanely frustrated with my results. things in april have finally started turning around. so much of my losses have come from dumb punts. spots that just make me puke from how poorly i played them, or how out of line i was preflop. i feel as though my mental leaks have gotten better as well as understanding and applying concepts. i've made a few key changes in my strategy thanks to some good coaching but still have a ways to go. since starting this thread i'm -3.5k. not sure exactly when i'll update next but i will at some point. glgl

first session of the month. had a nice 11bi downswing from peak but took a break and grinded it back.



this must be a good omen

Beast mode comeback bro, crush em this month!

yesterdays session. not sure why i have downward spikes in my redline at various points in the graph. could be a lack of focus or overcalling weak ranges and having to check fold? idk but EV is good this month so there's that.



this one hurt. however i'm not sure how to properly play bomb pots.



seems i've made a friend

Red line going down is also when you have a good hand and put money in the pot but you end up folding turn/river because someone is showing lots of strength.

Think you definately bombed that pot properly just unlucky river, I'm a total PLO newb but that allin call of CO doesn't seem too good right

ya seems bad to me but idk

i hate this game. prob spewed 3 of these buy ins tho. had to force myself to stop. played like a fish on tilt around the -200 mark. still unfortunate always running into top of range/missing big draws but whatever. time2cry byeeeee

every time i feel like things are turning around, i get hit with reality. i ain't nothing but a sh.it reg :P

chances are i'll be broke within a year. anyone have solid advice on how to prepare? "mom, are you there? i'd like to visit for a little while."



the tilt is real. RIP

Move down to where you're crushing easily and then move up again? Keep improving your game, study hands, watch videos of pro's playing the same stakes etc

solid advice that i will most likely not follow until i lose another 10bi :P

i will be studying and trying to improve but will likely stay at my current stake for the time

fired some PLO tournaments on PSNJ. they had awful guarantees but small fields full of pretty recreational players. punted my fourth and last buyin in a smaller event 4betting AQ75ds vs loose UTG 2.5 open and an MP min 3b 2 off of the money. needless to say min 3bettor had AA.

fired 3 bullets in the 100 and took fourth. happy with the result but feel i shouldve made top 2 at that FT. flopped top set my ATT6 vs his AKQT on T52ss. he turned flush and i bricked river. left with 6bb i folded some decent spots since aggro fish was likely to bust, even with 20bb, which he did.



dude calling me out after 20 hand sample lololol

but a reg nonetheless

u gotta be calm... hyperdimensional aliens feed off the loosh u generate under tilt. when u tilt u may have 3 or more negative hyperdimensional aliens attached to your energy body feasting on your loosh. by calming your mind of racing thoughts you remove the loosh source for these entities.

oh btw, i went broke yeeeeeehaw

but we making a comeback

Yep, been there before. Gl dude, hope we make some money for the rest of 2022.
