I lost 120k$ in one week

by Vanhaomena • 22 Oct 2009, 17:18 • Journals
Fortunately I could afford it.

This graph illustrates the last 5 months of my internet pokers career. Almost all of it is Pot Limit Omaha (sick and sweet game) on various sites

The fall in the end was actually ~125k$ because part of the games were played with € euros (€ = 1,5$) and the tracker software doesn't understand it.

shouldn't you stop when you are still on positive stats !
▼
Vanhaomena 22 Oct 2009, 18:21
So that means I should've stopped before every hand? That way I'd have 1 played hand and +20 cents.

Spirea 22 Oct 2009, 18:52
nah, just after a big collapse, you could expect it to go on, there maybe could be a point to stop, but who cares about money anyway :)

That's superstition & fishy thinking. The cards don't have memory.

Spirea 22 Oct 2009, 19:03
but there has to be something to it if you are on a downfall, maybe you haven't been playing your best game or getting a bit on tilt at some point :)

Fun money is full of noobs and fishes, it's not even the real game

I've actually learned not to get upset about it anymore, since losing streaks are inevitable. For the first time I feel like a real professional instead of a random gambler. A few months ago I would've in fact said "OMFG ROFLZ OMG LMAO LOL SHIT DAMN CRAP I LOST MONEYZ NOOOOOOOOOOOO"

e-money = virtual money , fake, you can't do shit with it irl

real money is money you can touch and smell, and buy shit with irl.

Failed 4 bin shot at teh 10k, and a small downswing at 5k (which is actually a bit higher since it's either 50$/50$ or 25€/50€)

Not a genuine bad downswing, just a fun little streak to show (off) :p

why dont you cash out your 200k and start again with something around 1k to get up?
buy yourself a house or sth
▼
vila 22 Oct 2009, 19:26
Because the 'playing' style is too different on big blind levels and it's just not interesting to go to lower cash again :-)
Parent
▼
Vanhaomena 22 Oct 2009, 19:34
No, I'd much rather play against the low level players with higher stakes. The problem is that the amount of money is too small to be interesting.

Parent

v1ech 22 Oct 2009, 19:30
i know, i do play poker as well and i know that the playstyle on small blinds around half a dollar are simply plain stupid..
but still 200k are a whole lot of money, the majority of people need more than 10 years to earn such an amount of money...
saving what you got and starting again on low levels might be a great decission
