Seriously feel like withdrawing what's left of my dwindling BR out of Stars.... I feel that bad about it :mad:


Change your routine. Play a few tables of 6max instead of a gazillion tables at FR.

I'm sticking around still at 100nl ... had just a wild swingy day, I just reviewed my hands and I was a little off in my blog, I was actually at -250 at one point, +119 another, and ended +29. Sometimes the swingy days can be the worst.

I did Belgo, I was initially playing 200nl 6max this month, went well for the 1st 2weeks, then went on d/swong, lost 10 buy ins at 6max. went to 100nl FR, lost another 6 buy ins, then went back to 100nl 6max and lost another like 4-5 buy ins. My showdown winnings are f'kin killing me.

it seems like ur still results oriented. just play for like 2 weeks and dont count buy-ins/FPPs/other result-type stuff and get a feel for how good you think you're playing in the game and how to make some adjustments based on what you see/feel going on. NOT "uh oh 5 buy in downswing this is bad" !

that sucks man... aren't you still clearing that bonus ?

if i were you i think i would just open all the 0.25/0.50 Limit tables and fold every hand until the bonus is cleared. :(
