... in order to overcome my demons in these games. I know MTTs can have brutal variance so I should treat the current run as standard. But I have begun to make some questionable decisions at times due to slight tilt. I must be strong and just treat the hands like a cash game. Just make the best chip decision available at the time; I can improve my ICM at a later date. It's crazy but I've become angry and determined to become at least a break even player in these now. I am well over-rolled for them so I intend to continue playing until I cash enough such that I am at least break even or I will go bust instead! Surely a 20-30 game OTM streak cannot become a 300 game one?!! (statistically possible but if it happens I'm quitting for good)
EDIT:
Now that I've calmed down after making the last spewey move, back to realism. I've only played around 2500 hands so far and though I haven't run great, comparing this run to the bad runs I have had in cash (30-50k hand losing stretches) it's a ridiculously small sample. So I will just continue to play and not worry about the actual cash return until I've played 30k hands or more. :) I hate variance lol
Welcome
Hello all, welcome to my online poker blog.
I've been playing on and off for a decade after being introduced by a friend.
I played regularly for a few years during the poker boom and had a decent record at the micros, particularly Rush and Zoom No Limit Hold'em games (here's one of my graphs).
Around 2012 I began a new career which involved immersing myself completely in study in my spare time, so I had little to no time for poker. However recently this burden has eased and so I have been gradually dipping back in.
I'm an amateur player who still hopes to some day beat the rake.
