5 Month Silence
22 August 2011 by 10kHero (Progress)
So I haven't updated the site for 5 months. Why?
Basically I got bored of poker and sick of the downswings.
It started with me running super bad / playing super bad at 200NL. In my last post back in March I was feeling very optimistic about making $10k very soon, but things didn't go according to plan.
After being over half way through the challenge, I suffered some big losses and crashed down to about $2k.
I was guilty of moving up too quickly (or not moving down fast enough when things were going bad). But you know how it is, when you've been playing at 200NL and you have to move down to grind away at 50NL, the motivation really isn't there. I basically had enough, I cashed in all my bonuses and withdrew the money.
After a couple of months working on other projects, I finally decided to go back to poker, and start with some HU on the Merge network. I wanted to try a different site and a different style of poker. I believe HU poker is excellent for improving your all-round game. You see so many flops and are in so many marginal situations. You also learn opponents quicker and understand different playing styles faster.
So I headed over to Carbon Poker and grinded some 6max and HU, and things soon got very interesting.
It's quite a long story so I'll save it for another post, but for now lets just say I feel blessed by the poker gods and my faith in poker has returned!
