Tilt

hi,
yesterday, i start to grind on 3 different networks, all the sng full ring, regular, between 20$ and 50$ to build back my bankroll after a month of nightmare, here are the results:
bad run sng 26 8.PNG

So it appears that it wasn't a good idea at all, i think thats one of the worst session i never seen, when you get 14 buy in below ev out of 62 games, it looks like a bad day.
So i decided to play some MTT on ongame,microgaming and ipoker

Houston abbiamo un problema

Marzo sembrava partito con ottimi propositi ma ben presto si è rivelato uno dei mesi più duri da quando ho iniziato a giocare seriamente a poker. Infatti dopo una prima settimana davvero buona è arrivata la solita varianza assassina a tenermi compagnia fino a praticamente la fine del mese. Alla faccia della leaderboard.. Meglio non parlarne più valà che porta solo sfiga!

Odiata varianza

ecco il primo bel dowswing,di 600 dollaroni,il problema è che nei momenti di varianza negativa,il gioco peggiora di molto e si amplificano i risultati derivanti da essa.
Fa brutti scherzi il tilt.. Devil Grin

Five games played and I've still not cashed

It seemed quite trivial, after my first game, to just go one better…but I now know it's not quite that easy. Just getting to the "bubble" is becoming an ordeal. After five games it now seems that my 4th place was beginners luck as I've not managed to beat or even equal it. SharkScope classes my form as TILT Sad

The first thing I've noticed is that I'm getting dragged into all-ins that I think I can win, only to find-out that luck is either not on my side or that my pocket was simply not as good as I thought. Did I really need to get into that position? It certainly seems that instead of playing for peanuts, a few well-timed all-ins would allow me to play less hands. The problem is that when I put the scenario into an odds calculator afterwards, I realize that most of the time I was the wrong side of a coin-flip. It seems clear that to be able to win consistently you have to avoid this.

I'm also overvaluing a pocket-pair. Having an actual hand in the pocket is giving me great confidence with pre-flop betting, except that more often than not after the flop I seem to be in no-man's land. I also think I'd prefer to be all-in with suited connectors than a pair too; when seeing five cards there just seems to be more possibilities.

One of my other numerous deficiencies in the game still seems to be evaluating my stack against the rapidly increasing blinds of a turbo game. So I tried a non-turbo game...Wow, was that boring!? Not only did the game seem to take forever, but there seemed to be very little urgency to win a pot; consequently the whole game seemed a bit subdued for my liking. It’s amazing to think I found that first game too fast, as I now think the game-play could be a bit faster! What really annoys me are those people, generally on large stacks, that have clearly buggered-off for a while, so when the betting gets round to them they take their entire countdown to just fold. You just need a few people in a hand doing this and the game-play really suffers.

In order to turn my form around I’ve consulted with an “expert” on poker. I’ve been given a couple of URLs regarding “card classification” and its association with your position in the hand. It looks intriguing, but actually at this point I’m willing to try anything!
