I literally feel like shit. I can't seem to win at any game. I killed the $52 DON's even earlier this year (January), lately (last week or few weeks) i can't beat $20's, then i couldn't beat 10's, played a session of 5's tonight, i lost. over 20k hands at 10nl i was positive, i still am after close to 40k hands but the profit is lower. can't beat $3 sngs right now either, not sure if variance, my play, or something else.
I HAVE TO get Supernova by the end of the year to be able to get some bonuses that i desperately need for my poker account/checking account/CC/pay back a loan/and just to have some money IRL.
I'm sitting on 96,440.62 Vpps now, took a few hundred bucks from my checking account to boost my roll to under $300, i seriously can't win at anything and am down like $500 this month.
anway. . . 8 days into the month i've made about 2k vpps, at that pace i should be able to be done by Christmas, hopefully. i think my plan will mostly consist of playing 10nl, trying to breakeven roughly just to get the vpps then evaluate at the start of the new year.
Thanks for reading the rant, its just so hard to keep grinding this shit when i can't win and don't feel like playing at all.
Nice work to all that have gotten Supernova, GL to others still trying to get there, it can be rough at times.

well once i make supernova i get a 1k bonus for 50,000 fpps
then once i'm supernova i will be able to buy the 4k bonus for 250,000 fpps
so.... its worth 5k to me, otherwise if i bought other bonuses instead of making it i'm sure it'd be worth maybe 4ish
so its definitely worth it to grind it out and get it
TBH, i have no fucking clue. i know its a combo of having too small of a br so a few bad sessions really hurts, i have been running below ev in $52's, 20's, 10's, and 5's for the last month or so, just checked my HEM, some just for the last 200-500 games i'm down 30 bi's in EV, some tile, some playing maybe more tables than i should, some not table selecting, some i haven't played in awhile and my strategy has changed, tilt, etc. everything is a factor. my biggest problem is that i think my game has changed, i seem to always be short stacked, i might get it in too light now, the game is changing, etc.
so sick, just looked this up from the last time killed 52's......
January of 2010, 2,960 games, 2.8% roi, $4,280 profit. $35.71 hr and that was 33k vpps.
why the fuck did i not stick with those?
wasn't because of february even tho thats when i basically quit for the year i think, 364 games played, up $1,272, except i should have only been up about $300, wow i was running good to start FEB,
march i played 42 games and lost $384
then i played no games in April...... idk what the fuck i was thinking, i wish i could go back in time.
dont' know what i'm going to do but i think i should grind the rest of the year, make supernova and get the bonuses, then try and build back my roll from something, start back into the $20 dons until i am beating them and get a 5k roll or so again, then test 52's out for at least a few thousand games and see what happens....................
who knows how long that will be thoughl.
i really wish i wouldn't have tested out $1/2 PLO in feb/march...... i'm an idiot.
jumping straight into $1/$2 PLO is never a good move mate. If you wanted to play some plo then start at like .05/.1 or something, loads of good regs at $1/$2 so it ain surprising if u lost money (if u did). If i was making 4k in jan and 33k vpps then i would keep doing that, i know people always want wehat they dont have but u were killing it.
i know dude, idk what happened, i think i was mixin in some $104's also and doing bad in those in feb so it felt like i was doing bad, then i just got bored and stopped, STUPID MOVE.
sick thing about it though.. here is my EV graph for $1/$2 6 max
so i was obviously running bad, down $700 when i should have been up $354. that obviously hurt.
then i played $1/$2 plo HU, i was up $1500 at one point and should have been, then i ran it back to even then up $700, then i tilted against one dude and lost close to 2k, he was so bad and i tilted everything to him. so thats where i went to shit.
gross thing is, is that i could probably beat the game one tabling if i ever lost an all in just quit so i don't tilt................. i shouldn't be talking about that though, i should be bitching at myself more for not sticking with 52's.....
going to grind 10nl to supernova, have a bit of a roll, try and get back into $20 don's and work from there. we'll see what happens.
Playing poker and ''must'' hit a target cos else u dont get a bonus, been there, u have to, but hard to focus on ur game and not on the points. Anyway if u hit ur bonus skipp the DoNs forever, so bad for ur pokerskills, u can win more money with other games.
Goodluck.
Edit: Btw how much bonus u get for reaching ur target?
