Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 2418562, member: 34747"] Well I've deposited a total of 350 now, so more than 10 buyins, plus 25 wasn't the only the limit I've played. It's not that losing that amount matters a ton, since it's not a huge % of my actual BR, but since depositing has been such a pain in the arse cause of my bank I'd really like to not keep doing it - and it's a complete mind-**** as well. Plus, 10 BI's should be plenty for a limit where my WR is likely pretty close to double digits. Not "too good" for moving down, but as much as you seem to believe otherwise in other threads, moving THAT far down below my normal limits makes it difficult to play well. Plus thinking about how much exponentially longer it will take me to get anywhere. Moving from 25nl/10nl down to 10nl/5nl would likely add a couple months to the grind that just don't have to be there. But given how excited I am to re-re-deposit (hint: the least excited I could possibly be), I still might end up doing it at least until I can get back up to 150 or 200 online. Basically, take a supposedly winning player, make him lose for 4 months straight with very, VERY few winning sessions during that time. What do you get? Is he still a winning player? I don't ****ing know tbh. Like I'm starting to think I'm just a breakeven or slightly losing player who ran really hot for a year. Just at the right clip for the right amount of time to convince me I was a winner. And now I'm just actually running standard for the first time these past months but I really suck. I don't really [I]believe[/I] that rationally, but those are the kinds of thoughts that permeate my head after this amount of time. If I could actually string a few wins together once in a while I think it would help enormously, but I just haven't. My winning sessions have been really isolated, so it's like at best I'm treading water vs. this tidal wave of losses. I'm not even being hard on myself. If anything I should be harder on myself, looking for more leaks and improving my execution in game so I can maximize my chances of breaking out of this. I know these posts are probably really shitty to read so I'm sorry. I just want to describe the state of my brain right now with regards to poker. In better news, I feel I finally have enough hands to start analyzing some common spots I face in-game. And the sick thing about Bovada is that I can see all the hole cards after the fact. First spot I've been analyzing is when someone faces a raise to their cbet OTF. (Not necessarily vs. me, but most of them are against me so far lol.) Have only looked at ~30 hands so far, all spots where UTG is the flop raiser. Shockingly, all of them except for like 2 were either TP or air, regardless of sizing (they ranged from min-raises to about 3x - with one complete airball 4x overjamming the pot). The other 2 were second pair, and third pair. It's pretty interesting, because some of the airballs weren't even semibluffs either. Not even close. I'm looking forward to getting a bigger sample with more hole card outcomes so I can start to make some decisions about how wide I should be continuing vs. those plays, and what lines will make sense.
