The summer is coming to an end. A summer for me was synonymous with the passage NL100 HU and study the game short-handed to diversify my skills a bit. This summer has been for me synonymous with big swings that have been pretty difficult to live.
My time on the date of NL100 gathering of my bankroll and live online bankroll into one (see section ). After crossing a big good-run the first 10 days of July when I managed to reach over $ 3,000 gain (especially Head's-Up, but also in HS), my bankroll had a balance of over $ 7,000 (see Article ). A amount sufficient to comfortably NL100 grinder, a limit on whom I'm getting good at my ease. Although I am aware of the intensity of this good-run, I already see myself continue to grind slowly to the limit ...
But my return to grind the end of the month after a week off, the backlash would be severe enough to stop on August 18 when I decided to stop playing poker until the end of the month after an Nth bad session HS (NL50). I went through a bad run-violent enough. I will not detail here all that I took in the mouth in Head's-up but it's one of my most bad-run violent in my "career". I remember in particular two long sessions on the NL100 HU when I finish at $ -1,000.
I actually played my biggest pot ever played online at one of these sessions:
Besides the HU, I tried a few sessions but the SH Success was not there including two sessions at -4 NL100 cellars and other sessions inglorious NL50. The hardest part of these sessions SH is that I still lack of benchmarks and experience to properly analyze what happened. Gone with HU, my experience allows me to analyze fairly quickly where the problem (if there is a problem in my game), both in HS, I have great difficulty doing these tests ...
short, losses and reserves linked together in my bankroll dwindle. And it's pretty hard to live for myself who am not used to make as big swings in terms of $ $ (the NL100 is still a fairly new limit for me). Yet in terms of number of basements, I had a bad run more violent than it already NL50 HU where I crossed a downsing of 35 wineries before returning to the front. NL50 but the amounts are not the same and my brain it was used. Let us add
several possible costs incurred by my poker winnings ...
First, I invested in a beautiful 22 inch screen ($ 230) and in a very comfortable office chair ($ 245). These investments allow me to have an environment to grind a lot more comfortable. I gained a lot of stamina after the investment (one session of 4 hours will now all alone when I began to feel poorly after 1:30 before the investment).
Then I went on vacation in Cap d'Agde (mid-July) when I lost a cellar at 300 € ($ 435) Casino (see article ). I also used my card for neteller few small pleasures like a little time jetski (neteller on holiday spending = $ 215).
Just recently, I paid my registration for the IPO of Dublin ($ 250) and the plane ticket with my card neteller ($ 165).
I also spent $ 80 on site coaching to train me to play HS.
short, all that to say that all these expenditures have lightened my bankroll of about $ 1600.
As of today, after two weeks of break, I'll resume the grind from early September. My bankroll has dropped to $ 1,920 (yes, you read correctly, a total of over $ 5,000 lost in just over a month). I think my losses' poker to about $ 3,400 (includes rakeback) since July 20.
I'm going back mainly on NL50 HU pokerstars (despite a bankroll a bit light), a limit that I know very well and which I am 100% sure to have a big edge. I would also from time to time some sessions NL50 SH Chilipoker (rakeback) because I really want to progress in this variant.
I'd take a few MTT between $ 5 and $ 11 to start and if my bankroll up a bit, I'll be back on $ 22 MTT. But this recovery
poker brand in the fall especially a big change in my organization. Basically, I made myself a schedule with evening or I grind, the nights when I play MTT and evenings when I play sports (you do not laugh!). And yes, the sport ... A good word unfamiliar to me. Those who know me will probably hallucinating ...
But the fact is that my work, I have no physical activity. I made my brain work by sitting at a computer all day. When I get home and I makes me grind to a few hours, it's still brain activity and I feel a great need to let off steam as football games Saturday night do not allow me to fill more ... I do not know yet what it will give, we'll see.
I will also force me to stop too cash-out. I think I have too "advantage" of my gains this year. The recurring cash-outs that I did when my bankroll was over the limit I had set (60 wineries) were an impediment to my progress and the transition to the upper limit ... And it's not a very good habit to get into because if I make cash-outs scheduled to spend, I get used to a lifestyle that I would not be able to assume the day I stop playing (if I'm broke, if I run bad or if I just want to take a break). I am not a poker pro or semi-pro: I earn money by working must be sufficient to live and pay me some fun ...
Lives At tournaments, I attended a small private tournament the end of August (only sprained my 2 week break), it's been awhile since I had not done. The atmosphere is very nice and a pleasure to play despite the lack of challenge. If I find time, it is not impossible that I repeat this kind of experience.
But the most important is my registration for the IPO of Dublin on the weekend of October 18th (the day of my birthday!) For a $ 250 tournaments with over 1000 players in a structure deepstack. I hope the success will be on my side but I am sure to have a great weekend Capital of Guinness with (among others) of my friends and Vieto Dav '.
Otherwise, on this blog, I have more and more difficult to motivate me to make updates. I will therefore close at least for a while. If I find the urge to write, I re-open in the second.
Since I opened (February 2008), I had almost only positive reviews about my blog which I'm rather proud. I tried to be as honest as possible in this blog trying to register the same way the blows which I was proud and the ones I'm not proud at all. I wanted to share the vagaries of an amateur poker player who tries progress in this game I tried not to overplay the whiners though sometimes it's hard not to lament and not to use this blog as a way to "empty my bag" ...

I hope it will be a simple break that a permanent closure ...
Thanks to all those who follow more or less regularly.
Thanks to everyone who commented.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to send me their views and analysis about the shots I played. Thank
more especially my friend Dav ' alongside whom I have grown tremendously especially when I was able to go to Las Vegas for the first time in March 2008. I also particularly thank
' Aiglon147' to complete its analysis sent by email. That helped a lot.
And finally, I thank particularly Vieto for everything he taught me that when it is accompanied me to Vegas in April 2009, Uriage, when I joined at Evian in March 2009 or at some private coaching sessions. Definitely my biggest inspiration and a big engine my progress.
