OMFG

January will most likely be my worst month ever. Here is a preview of what you can expect in a few days. Microgaming network, 4.3k hands:

Yes, this is correct, I'm losing with a fucking straight after 4.3k hands. Playing micro limits. Against morons who cold call K3o and other crap.

Until last saturday, everything was fine. I was running way below expectation but I was winning overall, although just a few $$ (thanks to a kickback bonus I have cleared). I have cleared a few hundred $$ in bonus and rakeback on several poker rooms which will be paid to my accounts in february and march, so I had every reason to be satisfied although not very happy. Suddenly, on friday someone turned the doomswitch for me and I can't win anymore.

You can live with losses, you can live with bad beats but when your 24 winning months streak is broken and you still have 4d before the end of the month and you know you can't do anything to change that, it's a huge blow for your self confidence.

2010

I'm probably boring with these screenshots but I have to vent somewhere. This is from a 5.3k hands sample played this year on Stars and 0.2k hands played on a new Microgaming site ($1000 bonus, with good release requirements). Just looking at these stats makes me puke but that's not all. From 5 flopped full houses, I've lost 2 and I've lost another 3 times when I had a set. So it's actually even worse than it looks.

I'm losing with 99 and I'm break even with KK, JJ, TT & 88. Few more retarded stats:
AQs hit a flop - 0/10
ATs hit a flop - 1/13
KJs hit a flop - 0/8

So, the start of this year is awful, I'm down ~80 BBs, most of it on 0.25/0.5 on Stars. Overall, I'm not happy with the way I'm playing but I'm satisfied with my results considering the fact I'm running way worse than I should.

This hand perfectly describes my year so far:

$0.25/$0.5 Limit Holdem
6 Players

Pre-flop: (1.4 SB, 6 players) Hero is Button 4 4
2 folds, CO calls, Hero calls, SB calls, BB checks

Flop: 4 6 6 (4 SB, 4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets, SB calls, BB calls, CO raises, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls

Turn: 3 (6 BB, 4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, CO bets, Hero bets, SB folds, BB calls, CO 3-bets, Hero 4-bets, BB calls, CO calls

River: 3 (18 BB, 3 players)
SB checks, CO bets, Hero calls, SB calls

Final Pot: 23.1 BB
CO shows: A 6
Hero shows: 4 4
BB shows: Q 3

New year goals

My poker goals for this year:
1) play 15 000+ hands a month, 180 000+ hands total
2) at least 1 BB/100 at 0.5/1 and 1/2
3) take a shot at 2/4
4) make at least $12 000
5) maintain SilverStar status
6) run better than last year

Fcuk you PokerStars

Played 2300h this year, I can't hit anything on the flop and miss all my big draws in multiway pots. So frustrating. On the bright side, I lost only 20 BB's.
