your thread, you post updates as you wish, just not too much to see without sexy graphs which i assume is impossible on bovada? I used to play plo8 sngs on ~10 years ago, god they were soft, although everything was soft back then.

Wishing you luck and you are better than impulse throwing your money away on house games, stay strong.

Thanks Buddy.. I am trying to be better, too much of a copout just to give in and dump like that

trying to keep paddling now... graphs later .

quick morning session... 7 Games +$59

ran good in few HU 3-0 in $10 Games and 1-0 $25 games.... then ICM clawed a few min cashes in MTT... 9th in $16.50 NLO8ament was annoying because had all the chips 11 handed and then lost every all in and was lucky to sneak into the money.... min cashed other $15 knock out... just hung around and snuck in the money and then punted in closish spot in 7th.

250 Games
Total Profit $1967

****ty update... 4 games-$47

had all the chips in $25 SNG and bubbled in impossible spots lost AA three times in a row to bust 3 handed... part of me wants open Blackjack and chase until rage is gone or account is busted... hang tight... just part of the ride. nothing I can do..

another quick session..

32 Games+$44... played with fire and got buried heads up and then got bailed out with second in $22 no limit 08 knockout for $219 for small win...

had a weird spot 3 handed where I hero called with J523HH on 1063KKHH and villian showed me the AJ53.. I guess my read was right but check jam just in case ..

came into HU outchipped 2-1 and made suicide bluff with no pair on first hand of heads up... could have fought stacks were deep.. oh well... book the win and keep plugging away...

Haven't busted it yet but been slipping...

been moving and no Internet yet so haven't been able to grind properly... played 5 games at coffeeshop and minus $13... obv this set me in a rage so before I knew it fired up Blackjack in 3 spots... was stuck $200 in a matter of seconds(standard).. but then hit a run and ended +$14 and shut down laptop... degen never dies there will always be regression... just hang tight and don't let it happen again.. as we all know its a slippery slope.....

gonna go play live and wait till Internet is set up for a proper session.

The casino game is so dangerous. I used to start with one dollar bet, because I was bored playing poker. Sometime in 10 min, i was doing 500 dollar bet to chase losses and busto. I think it happened 4 or 5 times. Go call ignition to disable it lol. Anyway gl on the run good.

I feel you Man.... last summer won 10K in a live Limit 08ament and busted it in a week on Bovada Blackjack....... hitting and running $20 at a time works great until it doesn't

Should call Ignition to disable it... just too lazy..

Went to play live and got cut up -$430... no excuses just ran and played bad... Nut flush nut low draw never any good... -$230 in Limit 08 then steamed to No Limit 2 card poker and 99 beat my J10 on 853 for a $500 pot to deprive me of getting unstuck.... no fun..

this blog is kind of doubling as a confessional now... went home and steamed to Blackjack... made $137 back to help the rage subside very slightly.... but been down this road so many times and I know exactly where it leads..

Gonna sleep like a baby and give Poker a rest until Internet is set back up and I can grind properly. No more Blackjack... just don't do it.. I control my destiny don't let the sickness win...

Left myself with $515 on the Machine... gonna start the challenge anew because I broke and played Blackjack.... also because I tend to Godmode at the start of a challenge

$515 starting Bankroll
2500 Omaha Games
No Blackjack

I feel like this is not the real reason. Like maybe you just like blackjack too much or there is a part of you that still thinks you can beat it.

If you really want to stop, there's a very effective way to do it.

I hear you Man, I def don't think I can beat it but I do like the action/potential for pain, and I prolly feel like I am due for a big heater...

But I know me. took the effective Line. found the Customer service number and had it disabled..... onwards and upwards.

Ended up with Starting Bankroll of $557 to attack this challenge...
2500 Fresh Games will begin shortly...

Just a baby update... still waiting on Internet to get set up so not a ton of grinding..

played 5 HU games in Coffeeshoop and made a whopping $3.25... freerolled the coffee and thats about it

once Internet gets set up ready to eat a bunch of adderall and knock out the 2500 games as fast as I can... just play good and don't feel anything is the goal.

5 Games
$3.25 total profit

Kind of annoying update... 18 Games +$51...

ran good in heads up matches and then had all the chips in $22 knockout the whole tournament and then busted in 7th when AAk8<<Ak54CCC for half the chips in play... could have been mistake jamming.. guy was wild and opened 3x and was always calling shove just figured had blockers **** it.....

could have hid and locked up 4th but wanted to gamble and win oh well... will get back on the wagon and play a real session shortly.

21 Games

25 Games +$126..

last quick update....



2 Games+$62

ended 14th in $33 plo8ament...#neverclose

floated around to premium min cash and then gambled with A922SS 3 way and no good...

not closing anything really and squandering some opportunities just gotta hang in it and keep grinding away.. have to focus on making most +EV line and not just one that avoids all the variance... long as I play good variance is nothing to fear just play good.
