Moving down in limits

Post Reply New Topic

I was doing so well, and then... I hit a rough patch playing poker. A major one. I went from having about 140 bets to 100 in a half a week. I took a week and a half to cool off and tried again today. It went OK at first. I won a bet in a half hour of playing. It's not that big of a deal, but I was at least back to winning.

And then I played again. And lost 10 bets. I'm down to about 90 now, and I'm having to move down in limits. I'm already playing shortrolled because I want to build my bankroll quickly. To do that, however, I need to move down quickly when I hit a rough patch like this one.

I just hate it. It's a major delay. I'm trying to get my bankroll together so I can play professionally, but something like this happens...

If I had a working bankroll and savings, a rough patch like this wouldn't matter. I'd shrug it off and move on. But because of how much of a delay this causes... It's just really rough.

I was telling my mom about it after the fact, and she said that she hasn't seen anything that affects me like poker. I've told her time and again that it's not it, but she doesn't understand.

It's just really upsetting to have to take this step back when I was so close to getting my life together.

I'm sorry. I just had to vent.
