Jeez!

Difficult for me to comprehend that sort of loss.........noticed you'd moved down a level after the 1st hand you posted, will you go futher down tomorrow or have you a base level for starting again?

You've still time to fleece the drunks tonight!

Just wondering how you 'get over' a big loss, as have had a run of 'negative variance ' myself for a few buy-ins at NL100 this week which is what prompted my sarcy 'the rest of us are suckers comment'.

Do you have to take a break and try and remain upbeat or any other methods?

I've pretty much trained my brain to think positive at the tables now so whenever a negative thought creeps in auto-pilot switches on to 'Keep playing you're game it'll even out' 'Variance evens out' 'Just keep getting the money in when ahead' 'Stay calm!'.

But even with all this my deepest inner thoughts were that maybe just maybe it doesn't even out in the end and i'm destined to lose or maybe the luck factor is too big in the game to be over-rided...

I dunno what to think at the moment, just battling these demons. Any advice Mole?

Yes guys i know shit happens, when i take a hit i go down the levels 5/10 being the lowest normally. You just need to get a win under your belt to restore confidence.

Had a better night last night, here are some hands.

[ubermonkey1]

nice one stef.

that k high vs ace high flush was a sickie tho

[voiceofjoe]

Stef- Are you going to Vegas for any of the WSOP ?

And if so what will you do about the 'day' job whilst your over there - would you take a laptop and play online or play live cash games ?

[ubermonkey1]

actually i was gonna ask that as well stef,i seem to remember you saying you were playing the main event

looks like a few of us will be over there then,could meet up for a few

[the mole]

Yes i will be their for the main event so sounds good. probs take my laptop i take it every where but never seem to use it, just like the idea that i can play if i want. Like all jobs you need a holiday so i think i can stand not playing for a couple of weeks

[JulioArca]

Nice one - shame you didnt show the 72 bluff

Nice to see you getting back with some big wins steph, Ohh and nice touch with the 72 off

[JackJarvis]

Superb hands there, well done.

[glceud]

Hi Mole, youve been playing at these levels for a couple of years (rough guess) whats the turnover of players like.
Are there players you would say have been winning all that time that you still see and are the losers the here today and gone tomorrow types just taking a stab at it?
Is there any one who just appears to be giving money away month after month? ( no need for any names)
