Jeez, I can't believe I deleted the rele long blog post I just had lol, but it wuz ranting and boring.
I'll get down to the main points:
1. Not quitting poker, merely going to play less hands no matter what (even if uberstuck or game great) just to avoid geting burnt out and getting better life balance.
2. Will soon take a shot with my new $1650 roll at $.50/$1 hu NLHE tomorrow from probably 10-12 (12 being lunch), then head out to hang out with some friends.
3. won 6.5 BI tonite at plo playing 7 tables of $.50/1 HU PLO and playing/running well as well
4. I am taking a shot tomorrow because I'm motivated again for $.50/$1 NL HU (at least for now) becuz I had the best winrate their. After my good hour and a half session tonite of $.50/$1 PLO, I realize I cannot let variance get to me. I increased my roll by 65% tonite, and now I know NEVER to lose hope and NEVER move up when stuck or take shots. If I am even a TWEAK off my game, it will cost me LOTS of money. If I HAD good bankroll management, holy shit, I would have probably a 20k roll online and the 6k in cash, as opposed to a $1650 roll online and 6k in cash. No joke; lost 1/2 of my profits from runnin RELE hot in Feb as well as losing $3k or $2k here and there after taking a loan and then paying it back and losing the profits from RELE bad tilt and roll management.
5. New schedule and rules I MUST stick to in order to maintain a positive mindset that will increase my winrate and balance my life. I didn't realize it, but poker can be SO overwhelming in life that if one doesn't have a set schedule, it can make life rele boring and a lazy grind. It will make me unmotivated for working towards a good education and other goals I may have (like lifting/sports and getting in better shape)
*On a side note, busted out of my $22k $75 buyin losing 99 to T8o all in preflop when he spiked T on the river, but doing well int he $19k gtd with 4k stack at the 50/100 level (121/379 position), so wish me luck. ~$4700 payday, as well as some more good MTT experience and maybe some motivation to play a few donkaments here and there when I have free time and I'm in the mood becuz their payouts these days r GREAT.
I'm in a COMPLETELY diff mindset than earlier today, and feel a lot better and more hopeful (fuckin concerta and its side effect of depression!). Ready to take on life again, with my 4 challenges/goals of success in school, balance in social life and poker, lifting, and of course poker (no particular order tho it's probably a tie for first for the first 3 and poker 2nd at this point).
