    Default Official boost Massimo's confidence thread.

    So i just got to turningstone today, and i managed to loose a decent about of money at the 1/2 NL games. I'm really down on myself and my confidence is shot.

    So basically just tell me how good i am even if you don't know the awesomeness of my poker game.

    Thanks

    it is because you are not multi-tabling

    live poker is very boring, be patient

    good luck

    You're better than 99.9% of people who play poker

    The other 99.9% is who you sit with.

    Not a low blow. I think we all need friendly reminders once in a while to stay on top of our leaks.

    who's the graph jyms?

    the monkeytilt around 29k is scary.


    Massimo, you play good, simple. and anyway, you're playing 1/2 live, variance will probs take about 6 months to even out anyway.

    I only wish I could lose that much money and still have a sense of humor. I neither have the money nor the fortitude to survive that kind of loss.

    I'm almost positive you were the best poker player at your table today. So you lost money either because you were a) unlucky or b) getting used to playing live or both but mostly a!! You're gonna win money in the long run, good luck

    seriously though, was this some sick sum like 10 buyins, cuz that'd be grosss live. Anything lower and you can make that more in a quick heater online.

    Beat: You lost 3 buy ins at 200nl to casino donks
    Brag: You lost the equivalent of 1 and 1/2 buy ins at 400nl.
    Brag: You played way more aggressive than anyone else at the table
    Brag: You probably pissed some old guy off because you bet hands besides top pair
    Brag: You stayed in a super balla room last night
    Brag: You met some other 5/10+ guys who hopefully were cool.

    I played 1/2 NL at Foxwoods for 20 minutes and then said, wtf, where's my aim, 6 tables, tv, phone, and ftr forum. This is dumb, I quit. I then got up and drank and smoked cigars at the bar with my boss. At least you had the discipline to play. Besides, I don't read any other forum or know anything about what you play or have made but I still know you're a good player. Gotta count for something.

    I played a £1-2 game and lost 50BB's over 5 hours. Live poker is slowwwwwwwwww and the variance will take forever to even out.

    yea dude 3 BIs is nothing at all. the draw chasers at casinos go nuts with draws, if you hit some mildly bad variance you can lose a lot of buy ins. I would not worry about it at all. I think it was Renton that said to be properly rolled for live play you need over the 20 BI rule for online because a lot of times you are going to be playing deeper after building a stack and as always variance is a bitch.

    I'm glad it was only 3 buyins, I was thinking 6+. You gotta be able to easily shake off 3 buyins playing live because that's nothing! Good luck in your donkament! I love live donkaments sooo much.
