I too recently haven't faced any negative variance and like you I question myself can I really beat these games in the long run and will I be able to handle the variance. Well goodluck adapt and I'm happy to see you're doing well.

Hey Dan..
Thanks mate. I always have my chat off. I found every time chats goes on I lose the game because I find it really distracting even if the player is nice or some twat is berating my opponent for some degen reason.
You are doing really well mate. The €50s arent too bad to be fair. I've kept my graph unblocked to deter most regs and played a few and given them a good hammering and generally avoid them. I don't need reg wars to drain me for a few bucks.
I think the games can be beaten from what we have achieved this month. There is still hope!
Keep going mate. Awesome awesome results thus far!
Adapt

Hey, I appreciate the swift reply! they definately do seem beatable, so far only played 6 of them this month, however do you find a lot of fish at these stakes? I sometimes wait in lobby for a long time! Regs do not sit me aswell, and I try not to sit them vice versa unless I do see a very weak one that I have strong reads on.
P.S. Your results are awesome too 
Goodluck

Hey mate!
Yeah. Seems I'm not yet good enough to even beat the 50s.
Lots of work to be done. Lots of regrinding. A little lost at the 50s to be honest. Its quite a jump. Mentally very draining. I lost conrol of myself when I first had a crack and lost a lot of money to one player. Seems to be a common theme with me. Beating this stakes means too much to me and so I play differently.
I'm comfortable at the 30s. And trying to figure out how to break into the next level. Maybe trying playing one or two games per daily session at the 50s based on how I feel rather than going for 10 buy in shots. Really don't know what to do.
And watching alot of HUSNG vids and their though prccess's seem alot different to mine. Its getting really complicated now and there are so many things to work on it just gets monster over whelming.

Right, I had this problem, I think. I think somewhere along the way, in trying to learn new concepts, I lost what made me a good player in the first place. Sound familiar ?
+ What was considered optimal play 18months ago, isn't automatically right now. So how to fix the problem?
Well, I tried to go back to the start, really did some soul searching. For me, the key is, regardless of what style you use, is observing your opponent. Once you have learned how to spot what kind of player you are playing, picking up on patterns etc, then you need to work on how to exploit different tendancies.
As for the moving up bit, it's often more a mental block, than a skill level thing, I have had my fair share of this also. Maybe I just don't have the motivation to force myself up,but you do, and if you will do it if you keep working hard.

| I'm always free if you need to talk about poker or anything mate. We could go over each others game etc. Could be helpful to get someone elses insight to regain confidence or on a downswing. Good luck!!! |

THE END OF CHAPTER 2: 5K MILESTONE
I never thought I would ever be writing this post and even if I was writing this post I did not envisage it taking such a long time to get here.
Graph of all SS accounts below:
Thoughts:
Its been one of the most mentally taxing and frustrating challenges I have ever committed myself to. I was a naive little boy when I first started and still am to some degree. I knew it would be hard. I knew I would have to fight... but this fu*king hard....hell I had no idea.
I have questioned my own sanity. As I write only 30 mins ago my father gave my nan a phone call to tell me I should stop playing right now and get a real job and my mother came around only a week ago suggesting I go to gamblers anonymous and if my mental state gets any worse then the men in white coats would be happy to come and get me.
Ive had to adjust my entire lifestyle to make this work. My nutrition, exercise, social, meditation, mental game, journaling, sweating has all been honed to make this mistress open her legs for me. Tiny sluices of hope would insue with a win here and there only to be beaten back down again. There have been two to three times where I was prepared to really give this up...so close. I had one friend and a few ppl in the right places to pick me up just in time.
Poker is a great teacher. She will never lie to you nor does she give a fu*k if things are unfair. I love that about her. I'm so much mentally stronger for it and it has taught me if theres something wrong then go and find out how to change it and make improvements little by little like that of a castle each stone brick will eventually all come together to make a wall and so on.
Im writing this post as though this is the end of all the trauma... and that lifes just plain sailing lets just print money. Hell is was only 2 weeks ago that I finally listened to borg about volume and started aiming to churn out 25-30 single table games per seesh as opposed to my pathetic 12 that Ive religiously stuck to for 15 god damn months. Oh what a tard!
Its still going to be a big mountain to climb. But at least Ive got tools and experience from which to work off and I suppose thats what all of this work has been working towards..."a solid foundation".
I have no idea whats going to happen, but Im healthy confident and have a lot of positive momentum. Was this worth it? I would never in a million years give up what I've learned experienced and achieved to get to where the point I am today and it makes the above graph look so much sweeter knowing what I sacrificed and my own personal demons I faced to get to today.
IF you're making this journey....my advice would be....make sure you trust yourself...believe in yourself....ignore the haters and the naysayers and most important work damn hard and the rest will come.....
Gl
Peace

Next goal? Well clearly $50k!
