Its been a couple of weeks since my last update and its been a very up and down period to say the least. I went on a mental streak of bad luck and my bankroll diminished almost. It had got down to €4.90 and I was not happy at all. I had all but given up poker and was about to retire. I decided to play 2 final €2 + 0.20 games and managed to win one of them. The next few games I was only winning enough to just keep me going and then i managed to win a 20 seater which gave me a nice bit of breathing space. Since then my hands seem to be holding up a lot more and I'm controlling my tilt urges quite well. Im mixing it up between 5, 10 & 20 seaters at the moment and sticking to holdem.
As you can see im now at an all time high for the challenge and im hoping not to get anywhere near zero again! Now I know why you only play within 5% of bankroll! Im now almost at the stage where i can increase to €3 stakes if I wish to. The highs and lows of this game are amazing. To think I was almost out and about to quit the challenge less than 2 weeks ago and now here I am right back in the challenge and doing well. My main aim is for more consistency and to hopefully not hit a bad run like last time. So who knows what will happen over the coming weeks.
I have played quite a lot since the last post and it would be impossible for me to go in to hand history. We all have a bad beat story and I have plenty, but I wont bore you with them! What I will do is try and update this blog every day that I play and go in to more detail of certain hands. Im off to bed now as Im tired but I can sleep well knowing the challenge is back on!
Current balance: €65.08
