    working myself up to FTR fullhouse status while not giving 1 solid piece of advice

    Default do you ever consider just deleting a PT database?

    I went back to full tilt a week and 1/2 ago and have been running absolutely horrid - Im not playing particularly well either - I guess I got used to winning the easy games on pokeroom and Ultimate. My 5k hands in this time have netted me about -$300 which is frustrating...Still leaves me fully rolled for 25NL but im seriously considering just going to either bodog or back to ultimate -

    so last night im looking at my Tracker stats and they SUCK - i mean down like $150 at 25NL over 1500 hands and down another $150 playing SH 1/2 limit (which is ridonkulous) over 3500 hands or so - Too say the least, im not playing limit ever again - that sounds bad, and maybe im just on a really bad week, but i have been 2 or 3 outered over and over and over...anyway, enough of my bitching - Im giong to get back to some easy NL games and get my confidence back - im going to review my Tracker hands and see where im going wrong - but im thinking about starting a new PT database and just try to forget about my full tilt experience -

    is this a bad idea though? Maybe i need to keep those stats and review and review and review them? I would like a fresh start, but maybe i need to know that it can happen anytime - and maybe remember it so that next time i'm feeling like i can actually play, i go take a look and remember what a donk i really am against anyone who raises my C-bets -

    do you think it's bad form to disregard a bad time of poker?

    Stay at Full Tilt, forget playing limit if you don't like variance and - above all - learn from it. You can't let running bad scare you off a site.

    Full Tilt has had a big influx of players since the Party pullout and you can find fishy tables at any time of day. I was absolutely crushing 100NL there and it's shaping up nicely at 200NL as well.

    Also, keep the PT database. Those that don't learn from history are destined to repeat it. You can always change the date preferences to just show you running good if you need some positive reinforcement.

    don't delete hands that have other players stats. But start a new one for the new site. You can't erase the losses, so don't erase the records. Go somewhere else and put a little note in the back of your mind that I'm gonna get this back, Later. when your ready, go back to FT in a month, 6 months, a year and make it green. It will satisfie you more than you know.

    For example. I was in the red on 5NL at Stars when I first started playing there. When i went back to play $25NL 2 months ago. I played that first and as I set up PAHud, (used G+ before) I played the $5 tables, 9 of them, and in one night I had my $30 back and it's in the green, forever I might add. Now I have to fix th $25NL when the time comes.
