Grinding...

[lucky_scrote]

That has to be the most painful 4 hours of grinding of my life. I didn't cash anything and lost just about every all-in imaginable so cut the session short. I might play a session later if I feel up for it.

Roll: $5430. Cutting out all stuff $100+ for the time being.

Feel your pain, if any one has any doubts about how hard it is to make a go out of playing poker they need to read this.

Gl sir, cream always rises apparently.

[Rod]

Not involved obviously but really enjoy this thread.

glgl with it. Really interesting in seeing how you guy's who play this stuff deal with what seems like massive swings to us low limit players.

[lucky_scrote]

Up early again for more pain. Feel a bit better about today tbh.

Just including the hot 109 and if things are going ok the 109fo later but otherwise not playing all the big stuff today.

Gl sir, cream always rises apparently.

It's a lot easier when you have a decent bankroll. I had about 6 years of really good times, no stress or anything, I just got to enjoy myself. The way I'd deal with a bad week or two is I'd just take a week off poker as I didn't have the stress of needing to make money. I still enjoy the game though, perhaps even more so than I did back then. It's weird.

Have a good day
