Roller Coaster!

First couple days of really trying to succeed within this program I immediately go up 70 buy-ins at the 1.10 level. I thought great! At this rate I will be moving on up soon. HA..Then this wonderful thing called variance poked her ugly little head out. So many 80/20s and 70/30s were losing and I was slipping downward over the next 4-6 days. So much so that even after taking a couple tourneys down I was still slipping. Finally got to almost break even and was completely discouraged. What a wonderful roller coaster of emotions and bank roll. So I decided to move down to the lowest limits Poker Stars has and build my confidence back up. Over the last 3 days I was able to take $5 to $50 playing these limits. Ha, now that I’m 200 buy-ins up at this level I think I have gained my confidence again to try and put my foot back in the $1s. Hopefully I wont have to visit the grinders at the $.25 45mans again anytime soon but it definitely allowed me to become comfortable multi-tabling and shrugging off bad beats. I almost have my emotions completely in gear now. No more tilting for this guy while using bank roll discipline.

Volume is crazy, I have never played this many games in a week and a half. Approx. 560ish. I will definitely get my goal of 700 I had sent Nick , HA. I forgot to add that during my grind at the 25 cent level I asked Nick for his table image so that I could change mine and maybe my raises would start getting some respect. I inverted the colors and it looks great! Only problem is I couldn’t shrink it to have it all fit in the circle provided by PS and I don’t know how to manipulate pics. Other than that I am quite pleased with it. I don’t want to believe in superstition but I have definitely been destroying the games since I changed it.

Congrats to Nick on taking down a Step 6 and gaining a seat into WSOP in Vegas through steps. Amazing how you can turn a $7.50 Step 1 to a $10k seat in one of the biggest games in the world. I will hopefully be able to do that next year. Good Skill to all.
