Default Tilted down to 10NL - Building it back

I have officially gone on my biggest downswing + tilt yet... Almost quit poker, thought about throwing the computer through the 2nd story window. Then I thought about how much Id have to pay to fix the window and buy a new computer... LOL...

I dropped my $600 BR on FTP to $200... first it went down to $400 playing 25NL due to IMO some really bad beats and a few bad plays. Then I did the stupidest thing ever and started 2 tabling 50NL... told myself Im not going to grind 10NL until Im at $200.. So I got there in a couple hours. Now Im 8 tabling since FTP wouldnt let me do more, something about emailing support (which I did), and will hopefully be 11-13 tabling tonight. I have figured out finally that the micros are not about what I consider playing poker, but simply playing the statistics. If you play the top 5% of hands you are going to grind up a roll. I read that in a book about poker btw. So I will grind my way back up and will probably be making several videos on the grinding a roll from 10NL up to 50NL.. I hope you guys learn from my mistake and I hope the videos I produce will help some of you.

progress - won 2 BI last night and cleared $20 in bonus money.


BR now at $240

uber micros = value value value
micros = wider range, but still value value value
medium -high stakes = i have no fucking clue but it sure looks fun.

Sorry to hear that man, and best of luck with the grind back up. You're definitely right, tight is right at the micros. Absolutely no need for fancy plays.

don't give up man. Just take a break and start grinding back with no fancy plays. And play as in vids - solid tight. and keep up to 20-17 rule.

Been there done that, man. If you ain't going broke a few times during your progress, you ain't really trying! Better to learn from it now and not when you have a $100K bankroll.

I think losing 66k would really suck more than like $400. Dont you?

Adam and Aji - Please lets not have a discussion on this thread about the use of profanity and anyone being upset about. You got a problem with it take it up with a moderator.

and for an update on the thread

Had alot of breakeven 12 tabling until today finally broke free and and made 4 BI... So the
roll is now at $243 plus looking to get about $58 so far in rakeback... so looking pretty good for grinding back up to 25NL just 20 more BI to go.. LOL

Im hoping by end of january Ill be able to move back up. 10NL is kinda up and down since you get people calling with ATC alot and sometimes you get sucked out on. I've noticed it more here then any other limit.
