holy ****. It's like they had a bus full of super donks and they dropped them all off at FT NL25 tonight. Figures I pick this night to run completely card dead. I couldn't hit the broad side of a ****ing barn tonight with a hand.

So what's the cure for my 40k hand breakeven - +$60 - (rediculous variance actually) month? I'm unmotivated and normally would have had 60k hands in by now, 30k of the BE stretch is this month. I'm nearly $400 below equity in all in hands this month. Variance is biting me in the ass since I realized I run hotter than the sun at 25NL. Variance has another $1.5k to go to regress to the mean...

a) take a break from everything poker - is this even possible?
b) take a break from the tables and watch stox
c) move up
d) move down
e) cash out and start over - lol wut?
f) read something
g) play through it - read: stfu and stop whining you lazy turd

My main problem right now: I have figured out people's ranges. The bad thing about this is I get fancy and think I can get them to fold XxXx because they'd have to be a ****** to call with that. But they are ******s and they call and show me exactly what I knew they had. I can't help myself.

My thought process:
"Why wait to valuebet when I can win his chips right now when I get him to fold?" <-- argument for trying to push people off of hands at 25NL lol.
"I don't have a hand more often than I do." <-- another argument for trying to push people off of hands at 25NL.
"Aha! he has XxXx. I would fold XxXx here." <-- yet another argument for trying to push people off hands at 25NL.
"What?!?!?! fjsakf;aj;ajkl;" I realize after the fact that people do not get pushed off anything at 25NL. Over and over.

Was pretty sick but ive seen it a few times guys just dropping money. too bad it didnt happen more often

Oh, something like this against a 55/15 guy?

Been there man, my winrate jumped at NL25 when I decided to stop trying to do this. No need to represent anything at this level. Just ABC poker all day long. 95% of these guys don't care one bit about what you have (lol), so don't waste time trying to represent hands to the unrepresentable.
