A ssfr grinder evolving into a midstakes crusher - Page 5 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Even though November couldn't have gone any better results wise I do feel a bit disappointed in myself for not playing more 200 and 400 than I did. Graph above is ~70% 100nl. It's proven to be very hard for me to remove that limit from my daily grind like virtually all the fr players who are as good as me did a long time ago. I think i'm going to take removing 100nl off my to do list in poker as it's just such a comforting limit for me to play. I wouldn't rule out removing it someday soon but I'm done trying to convince myself that I should/need to just focus on higher limits.

In September I started a staking/coaching deal with a mid/high stakes reg that was going to eventually get me playing 500z as my main stake, but after about three weeks of me playing 100z I just couldn't cope with the stress and anger playing 6max zoom causes me. And so we ended the deal and I just went back to grinding 100-400 fr.

I got really depressed after that because I hate letting people down, but there were times where I had literally burst into tears in frustration after ending a bad session at 100z so I knew I had no other option.

99% sure I'm going to Prague next month so hopefully I'll have some success there as well as putting in a good amount of hours online. I'm also considering starting a poker vlog so I'll be sure to film some footage of Prague while I'm there.

If any of you guys are going to Prague let me know if you want to meet up at some point.

What is the reason that regs dropped, and you are willing to drop 100NL?

It's just what I've always played. I started playing in 2012, when the dream of making $110,000 a year whilst playing breakeven poker at 100nl whilst 24 tabling was still alive. I (stupidly) started mass grinding 2nl when I first started playing on pokerstars. And although I significantly dropped my table count when I eventually started moving up, I never made the switch to 6max
