Time to start blogging it - another micro hero.

btw the blinds thing, remember folding is a -100bb/100 play. Yes people say it's 0bb but I don't give a fuck. Looking at it in terms of losing 100bb/100 for folding and losing 50bb/100 for calling and c/fing a tonne with marginal hands is the best way to look at it. Just remember this. You don't have to WIN with a hand out of position. You just have to do better then you will by folding.

I don't really know what to do at this point.
I'm pretty sure I am improving some weak parts of my game, especially vs loose/weak types.

But it's starting to feel like a massive waste of time. A monumental effort in futility.

I didn't play 1k hands today. I played 73.
Seventy fucking three.

On hand #19 I got this:


OnGame - €0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players

Hero shows 7 5 (Flush, King High) (Pre 38%, Flop 35%, Turn 91%)

And this on hand #71. Flop shove is caused by a lot of notes about this retard:

I know I'm ranting.
I know variance is a big part of the game and it will even out sooner or later. But how much fucking time is 'later'?
I know what I said in the OP about bad luck, but at14k hands my EV graph was neutral. Approaching hand 28k, I'm almost 500BB below EV.
13k hands of suckouts when my entire 'serious' poker career consists of 20k hands? Really?

I'm not raging and I'm not hating the game. On the contrary, I'm craving to play more poker and more pots with me starting at 90%.

But it surely is affecting my game, wich isn't exactly spectacular in the first place.
I've already realized I'm playing somewhat scared when I should be betting

So today I started betting like a fucking house afire, only to get sucked out again.
And again.
And again.


To complete this rant, I want to make it perfectly clear.
I'm running bad because I'm bad. No doubt about this. Maybe not so bad as I was 20k hands ago, but there are huge amounts of work and study ahead.
Still, it would be nice to win a pot when I fucking deserve it.
