..and I dont like it. Basically i understood today that i am not good enough for poker. Altough I am a consistently winning player, I win too little compared to what I loose. And I pay for my winnings with time, meaning I put in too much work compared to what I win. Now I knew that all the years Ive been playing online, because I am playing only the lowest limits with very oversolid bankroll management, but today it just struck me. You can read my story in one of my older postings (right beside the crybaby ones about variance beats that are daily business at my limits and I know it, and usually can cope with it, but sometimes its just too much).
Cliffnotes:
- Deposited 30$ in 2007 as my only deposit ever
- Played 2NL for 2 years, building a solid roll and cashing out about 4-5 times
- I play almost every day after work (while chilling and watching TV etc., not as bad as it sounds)
- Moved up to 5NL, 4-tabling
I was sick this week, so I had a lot of time to play and this showed me the exact conclusion I wrote above. Here are my lousy figures:
The BR went down to 290$ on Saturday, then made it to 322$ over the last 3 days and today within 2 hours of beats it went down to 303$. See what I mean ? I am winning, but not enough. I pay with time for it. Yet I think I cant be the badest player ever, because I see progress, it is just the time factor. But I absolutely think BR Management is the key to my winnings, being very conservative with the limits. Today showed me, that this is not enough, Im too much of a nit, wasting time (even tough I think I really got a lot more agressive at the tables). And I dont have the heart going for bigger Limits...
So I guess I should cash out and just forget poker. But then again I know I wont. And I know I need to learn a lot more.
Thanks for reading, as I wrote this I calm down, now someone handle me a hanky...
PS: Here are my stats (last time c9 called my an aggro fish, I do not think it will be a lot different, but remember, its 5NL).
