Hey. Been a while. Essay update:
Long story short, I was banned! Apparently you need to apprise your poker site of your travel itinerary (
). I was in the middle of a >20bi downer (>12 under), rent was due, and I had basically no liquid $; couldn't have happened at a better time. Scrambled for a few weeks, snowboarded practically every day. Ran into a buddy who's the anti-Knish, but he got me a job driving the proverbial truck. Turns out the "if you can succeed at poker..." rhetoric is kinda true; I'm manager now after a month (SODIUM IN THE AIR).
Poker basically took a backseat. Realized I had like $3 on some off-brand site, decided to run it up in the meantime for a challenge. Blasted .50c sng's (really) until I had $20, when I took a 5nl shot (TERRIFYING). That went well, ran it to ~80, at which point I started 6-tabling 10nl (STRONG BRM). That also went well, shot 25nl at ~250, and we are currently at OVER FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
Finally got my real roll back. So I've come out of this with stable income, an additional roll/site to work on, and the HUNGER that I started poker with. I'm not used to playing with the safety net of my bills covered; with no pressure of earning through grinding, I'm going to focus solely on getting better. Dropped down in stakes while I get used to the games again, but I'm going to get pretty aggro with my roll once I feel sharp.
I've decided to finally make the full switch to 6max. I started with 9max because I always intended to transition to live; I oddly think I might be even better at it than online, but I've still never held a real chip. I've played enough stupid rangeless cc mw pots for 2 lifetimes, llsnl hh's still read like dumpster fires, so I'm ready whenever the opportunity arises.
Here's everything so far (NEW YEAR NEW ME, NEW STEAM NEW THEME). Redline is trash. Think it would be breakeven/okayish minus h1500-h2000; I was at an amazing table with a bunch of station whales and 4-6way pots (WTF CAME HERE FOR THE HU), ran frio, lots of folding. Probably paying too much attention to it (iirc Redbaron and some 500z guys are negative), but I want a WARRIOR graph. Onward and upward!
