A New Record
By racking up a single night loss of just over $148, I have managed to set a new record for amount of money lost at poker in a single day. Woot! I don't think I played quite as poorly as the results would indicate but I haven't reviewed the session at all, so the possibility definitely exists. The few times I didn't get dealt complete garbage or completely whiffed on the flop, I ran some big second best hands into some monsters and could have lost more in the process. Lots of people got added to my buddy list again. The past week has been nasty as I undergo a market correction of sorts, bringing my $1/$2 win rate back down to earth, hovering around 2.5BB/100 after losing $250 in the last several days.
So, June is shaping up to be my worst poker month for results to date. If I finish out the next few days like the last week has gone, I still have time to book a loss - which I have no intention of doing. On the bright side, there is nothing like experiencing losses to help get over the trauma of losing. I am becoming increasingly immune to feeling like utter garbage after big losing nights. Sorta. Looking back at net winnings plus lots of sweet sweet bonuses helps too.
Anyway, I may hit up another casino tonight, or I might hop right back on the $1/$2 horse. We'll see.

Good job on feeling immune. It's good to look at your win rate to see it's still above ground. It gives you a better perspective then dwelling on -$148 which sucks big time.
Was it an angry -148 or a SURPRISE -148.
hey grinder,
It isn't so much that I feel immune really, just that I feel that my tolerance to losses is building...so MORE immune than last month/week.
I was angry for a bit while playing, but by the time I was done, I could only chuckle at some of the hands I was being shown. I reviewed the hands I lost the most money on and determined (rightly or wrongly) that for the most part, I played fairly well actually. What I didn't look at was the hands that I won which I probably should have won more on. Beat after beat was probably shrivelling my courage up and cutting into my value betting.
I always feel much much better about any loss after I finally log out. Mind you, I HATE losing any money, so losing a record setting amount sucks fairly large.
Four days ago, I was in great shape to have a record high month for winnings, so it is a disappointing turn of events. But, that is poker and if I am going to stick with 6-max limit, I had better get used to variance. Which seems to be happening somewhat.
In case it makes you feel any better, my worst day is $1,673.16. It doesn't make me feel any better.
Hey cc,
Ouch!
That doesn't make me feel any better at all. It does make me chuckle at the small size of my sorrows though!
I'm loving your awesome WSOP coverage btw!!
I'm loving exclamation marks too!!!!
!!!
thanks for coming by the mook, good bunch of folks that you'll enjoy playing with if you like. Hope you turn around the down session.
It was fun. Probably not something I'll hit every week as I am a total tourney donk, but I'll stop by now and then for sure. Glad to see my donation went partially your way too!
