Sandy's first crack at HUSNGs on Stars

sandman369

UCS, the grinder formerly known as Blazing, inspired me with his new BR thread. So I took a look objectively at my poker playing, and it was silly how plain and simple it is to get a bankroll going.

I simply need to put in volume, avoid playing on tilt, and stop overthinking/assuming things that have no evidence (stop getting ahead of myself)

I started with an $80 deposit on Stars a couple weeks ago to get some tourney tickets. After some freerolls via the tickets and 5 HUSNGs so far, my BR is at $96.68

BR Plan BR amount: game stakes
Below $60: 1.50
$60 - $170: 3.50
$170 - $400: 7
$400 - $900: 15
$900 - $1800: 30

I've never had a BR that big, so that's my goal for now.

Volume
I will play at least 10 games/day or minimum of 300/month. If all goes well I will be playing the 7s by March.

Good luck I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. I'm thinking of starting a BR Challenge myself. Smile

I have not been putting in good volume so far. I avoid playing when I'm not in a good mood, which is too often. I may have bi-polar or something, because I'll have days of feeling depressed, then a day of pure hope and optimism, then back to crappy the next day. I made this thread on an "up" day, so I may have overestimated what I'm capable of.

I've done 17 games so far, one of which was a 4-man that I won.

First two were 1.50s then the rest are 3.50s. I can beat this level pretty easy when I'm on an up day.

BR is at about $114.

Personal post warning! Self-realization and acceptance and all that crap.

Well Feb is coming to a close and I only played 29 games. From my many short-lived and failed/given-up attempts at building a BR, it's pretty obvious I don't have the work ethic to be a poker player yet. This 2p2 post: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com...oobah-post-you-suck-poker-671391/ that someone posted on tagpoker some time ago really hits the nail on the head for me. I had everything come easily to me growing up and my parents spoiled and coddled me, so I never had to work hard for anything. I'm still in a place where I realize my issues, but never seem to do anything about them. Trying to "just shut up and grind poker" will not work for me while I'm living like this. I have the intelligence to beat any one game, but my mental/emotional game and work ethic are SO weak that any "skill" I have is pointless. Last game I played a week or 2 ago, was a 4-man and the 2nd round guy was really stubborn and got lucky a couple times, I found myself shouting in anger and was left depressed for a few hours afterwards. That's just not good poker in the slightest.

I will be moving back home across the country in the next month or two (if I can sum up the courage... see previous issues), finally completely separated from either of my parents for the first time in my 25 years of life. Just typing that is sad. I will need to somehow either line up a job from across the country or get one ASAP after arriving there, and I'm dreading having to take a shitty job like fast food or some other soul crushing thing, even though I know logically it might be good for me to "start fresh".

So, until I have a stable life of my own, I'm avoiding poker. All it does is trick my brain into false hope and prolongs my procrastination and avoidance issues. Also because I keep ending up making a BR thread and a very short time later posting some psychobabble like this. I'm sure you guys are sick of it Wink
