I have no idea what is wrong with me, my poker story is basically groundhog day, grind for a few days, a week win steadily then Tilt and Lose….Grind for a few days win steadily then get drunk and degen and lose.
Following my last post I played a few short sessions Tuesday and finished up $115, not many hands played just awesome game selection. I took a break Wednesday and went back to it last night.
Last night. Oh what a night.
Again game selection was key, I was playing Football Manager and scouting the heads-up tables for fish, when I found one I’d put FM on hold and play, it wasn’t a hugely successful night but I was up about $50 and approaching a bankroll of $1100.
Then two bad things happened. My mrs went to bed and I opened up a can – I figured that as I was playing opponents with $25 stacks or less the damage wouldn’t be too bad if I got unlucky – I didn’t figure in the fact that if I got drunk I wouldn’t know when to quit or If I got drunk tilt is magnified by a hundred.
I went to a Omaha table and found some ugly Hungarian dude with $25, 2 hands later he has $75 - WTF.
I don’t quit I carry in, at one point he had over $200 over my money, I somehow come back and win it all back. And head to the safe haven on No Limit Hold’em
Hit and Run, Hit and Run – im getting worked up at these clowns. I lose a $90 pot when I flop trip 5’s I bet the shit out of it but the river brings the 3rd diamond and I cant fold.
Back to Omaha, again I double some tard up twice…. At this point I’ve lost the plot im on my 5th pint can, not enough to be hammered but with tilt as well I genuinely cant remember what really happened.
I only quit when a bloke im playing sits out and says “ill be back, I need a piss” I take this as a sign that im obviously a ripe fruit that he wants to pick so I log off and go to bed – ive been playing heads up for 3 hours.
The damage actually wasn’t to great, $70 down for the night, but $120 down for the drunken degen session.
It could have been a lot worse, check my Omaha Graph and some of the big hands I won, they could easily of gone the other way.
Not sure what to say, should I quit and use the $950 odd in my account for something useful? I am ever going to be a sensible winning player or am I a drunken degenrate bum?
Will update my figs for the month tonight.
