Prob gonna leave shortly on a very small session played. I feel it's best for my well being to do so. Prior to today, I've had 3 losing session in a row, and even though they were small loses it still doesn't sit well w me. So now that I hv a nice solid score under my belt, I feel it's best to protect it. It will do a lot of gd for my mind, body, soul and spirit.

The famous AllState was straddling anywhere from $12-$100, and we danced quite a bit. I had a gd seat the time he straddled $100 w $200 behind, and was last to act w KQ. After everyone folded it was an easy shove for me against his random hand. I put it in and cover his $300 stack.
Of course, he calls w 33% of his stack in on the straddle. . And of course he got me w 79<KQ for a pair of sevens .
That dwindled me down to $120, and I did the exact same thing w a different hand an orbit later, and of course he got me again .
So after I got felted, I decided to just buy in for $100 hoping to keep on doing it. Sooner or later the best hand has to hold. Right? He can't be beating on these 40-60s all night. Can he? So im just gonna keep on doing the exact same thing if the opportunity arises. It did, and this time I doubled. Then doubled again, and again. He eventually had enough, and left.
Now I'm actually gonna leave too.
+399 today and the 4 pumpkins are back where they belong. +$4,367 rt.
Is it just for mentality reasons you don't buy back in for the max? If someone was doing this on my table I'd be putting as much money on there and hoping he kept putting hands in blind! You seem super overolled for this, it might not all be in your poker roll but situations like these need to be taken advantage of no? A session with someone putting in $100 every straddle, as a professional aren't you almost obligated to punish him?

I absolutely understand reducing variance and stuff but these are the sessions that can turn a good month/year into a great one? Even if you end up a loser because of it you know you've played well and put yourself in the right position.

Just my 2c, respect your poker/stocks/life balance game massively.

Focus on all the positives in your play because looks like there are plenty of them!


Thank you!!

You're prob right @parsonsgrinder.
Maybe I was just thinking on staying on the monthly track to accomplish the $40k, and didn't want to risk going into Feb behind the pace. I can't lie saying that wasn't in the back of my mind as well as the 3 losing sessions in a row. I was trying my best to avoid a big loss.

Just saw UAA -28% premarket. Glad I sold off my shares yesterday pre er. I just didn't feel comfortable holding through er
Now its time to unload all I have and more on this!!!
I think it's time to go all-in again. Whatcha say?
Sweet opportunity...i think Time will tell.

Make good decisions, embrace the variance. No one likes a flat rollercoaster.

Premarket these are my holdings (pic below). As u can see no UA/UAA because I sold off yesterday. Hv about $15k in play at that time (8:30 this morning) $47,800 rt.



Used my buying power to buy UA/UAA premarket, and thought about buying at 3 different draws during the day. But, then decided against it, and thought strongly this wd b near bottom prices so went big early.
Maybe I shd hv went with 3 -5 buying draws because it went lower after my inital couple of buys. This pic below shows me down $1500 early $46,300 rt



Next (pic below) you see me sell off the rest of my holdings and going ALL-IN on UA/UAA. Yes that is $70,000 all u can eat on UA/UAA.
I'm taking all prayers at this time.



Current Status (pic below). We made up that $1500 we dropped early, but will we hold? I like my side, so we will see. U just never know. I been wrong before, but gonna go with what I been planning on doing for a for weeks now. I been waiting for this opportunity. Now LG!



Today: I'm gonna be riding this stock Space Mountain ride. Don't worry I'm buckled in. : After Market, gonna get my last day of January in on the felt.

Tonight: do my best to get the vlog uploaded.

Figuring out if it's time to get in with UA/UAA again. I bought after they tanked at last earnings only to see it drop from there. Can't believe it's this low.

Lol. I like the memes.
I think I have this under control, but we're dropping our gains fast.
Now it's time to derive some sort of exit plan. Right now I'm thinking we hold through tomorrow. I still think it's a bit of over reaction/over selling going on. Cd it drop lower? Yeah prob, anything is possible. I'm willing to risk it.

So I think I will hold through tomorrow, maybe longer. Still waiting for that dead cat bounce. If it comes, I may get out at that time, and get back in at a lower price and hold long from there.
This is kind of where my head is at the moment, but like I've said, the stock game plan is always changing.

Just like poker, it's all about staying even keel and booking winning months.

Thanks for the tip

Still have it and not super excited about it. Looking for a nice out, so hopefully it comes soon. I think long term I'm ok, but in he short term I think I can get it cheaper.
Also I wdnt take any advice from me. I don't want to mess with anyone's money.
