Online poker is still f*cking me in the ass, I'm running so cold, I only doubled my stack once out of 500 hands, otherwise I'm losing my stack or picking up 2-3$ with a CBET, I can't believe how cold I'm running, it's sickening.

Although today I got my first ever Royal Flush, it didn't come close to making up for the other bullshit...

I should have folded, but I figured that since I was short there was a decent enough chance that he had JJ or TT, but yeah I'm dumb as well as unlucky.

This hand was balls, the guy started calling me a fish and stuff to try to make me tilt, it was sick.


I clearly have to stop buying in for $20 at .25/.50 tables. It's f*cking discouraging that I have to start playing NL10, it doesn't even feel like online poker is worth it at those stakes.

BALLSSSS f*ck I'm discouraged, down to less than like 160 on Absolute. Bleh.

Nobody turns pro in a day ... playing with a full stack will help you learn the game well. If you were only buying in for 20 at the 50NL tables, you should've just played 25NL, its pretty much the same thing, only more passive.
