I am down a quite serious amount of money. I have totally cancled the idea of becoming SNE this year and in order to secure my BR I went down to NL25. I am a bit surprised that I don’t feel bad going down. I percieve it as a necessity and I am sure that this experience is the most important one in my poker live so far. I hope I will one day look back to say this made me a way better poker player. First days on Nl25 I constantly outplayed and leveld my self with thoughts like – “well, I have raised UTG, and I know that you know that I will barrel a dry K-high Flop 100% of the time so you will float all your crap holdings and try to push me out of the pot on a later street, but you dont know that I have SD value…” and so on.. untill I realized that bascially most of these thoughts are just a cheap excuse for my poor play. They might apply to High Stakes players but they certainly do not and under no circumstances apply to any NL25 player, if they would, players would not play NL25 but much higher Stakes..
So my resumee consists of: putting in so much Volume for SNE and having a bad run and not being able to adjust to the bad run propperly but instead not noticing, that my special form of super tilt possesed me again – resulting in me playing the worst poker I have ever played, still thinking I am doing everything right since (see above: I know, that you know… *haha*). So I guess I manged to pull my self together yesterday..
I folded Aces today when a 18/4 player limped in MP – called my raise and check-raised my c-bet on a dry K high flop.. I called the flop falling back into my old “I know that you know” routine – but when the turn blanked and he barreled I did NOT talk my self into: shove! What can he have? It’s hard to flop a set… blabla stuff like that”. On the other hand I call Fish Shoves again not expecting them to have Monsters and well.. running much better.
played some 1 € buy in SNG’s because my Euro bankroll is sort of not exsiting any more but I am having so much trouble to adjust to limp-calling tables. played 4 SNGs today 1 itm 3 I left in the bubble and all of them went limp-limp-limp- all 9 players no matter how high Blinds where and all of them called a raise.. so I just raised my premiums but had to fold alot of flops since I did not hit and the board came one tone or some other ugly stuff..
played a euro Torney as well but I have never, ever expirenced anything like that. I did not play one single hand not even in the Blinds because people where raising, 3 betting and shoving and I did not have any hand to participate in the party. Only hand I played where Queens when my M was so low that I had to push or fold anyway.. got called by AJo and the Queens went down for he flopped an A..
maybe I’ll take the last of my Euros for a Challenge.. repeat what I did with my 5 Bonus dollar…
ok untill then.. good night all…
