It was inevitable

Doom switch activated:



The move to 100NL did not go well. Every time I won a stack, I'd quickly lose two, either shipping KK into AA or running AQ into 78s in a 3bet pot when fish calls flop, turn with his OESD+8 high flushdraw vs my TPTK and gets there on the river. Lots of crap like that.

So after going up 200$ and then down 700$, I dropped back to 50NL (which had a 4 buyin slide this graph doesn't capture), and had more of the same. My favorite thing to do now (apparently) is run made flushes into two pair which always boats up on the turn if we get it in on the flop, and on the river if we get it in on the turn.

Fun times.

So I'll be taking a couple days off for tilt management, after which I'll have to decide if I'll keep playing 50NL on a 15bi roll, or move to 25NL to make this variance a little more absorbable.

That is all.

Ouch with the 7 buyin downswing.

Poker is busting my a$$ also fellas. Had a 5 WEEK period where I played almost everyday for a total profit of -100 AFTER rakeback and bonus.

It's gotten so ridiculous that I've resorted to waiting for hours at HU tables in the middle of the night until huge fish arrive rather than fight it out with anyone with a clue. Ah mixed results.

You'll bounce back. Please keep us posted.
