Shutting Down for November?

Posted by icemonkey9 on Nov 26, 2008 in General | 2 comments

Well, my family always says that November is the worst month of the year, and that everyone always has bad Novembers. Chalk me up to the list of believers. My month's profits are all but wiped out at this point. Moving back to 50nl has not stopped the hemorrhaging of my bankroll to villains that are getting the best of me, either by miracle flops or miracle turn/rivers, or the occasional out-play icemonkey.

My confidence is shot. I'm really at a low in terms of poker-happiness for the year. I don't feel mad, I guess I am past that. I feel sad, dejected, and cursed. I don't even WANT to go back and play at the cash tables. It has me thinking that playing any more this month could only lead to further disaster. That's why I am fairly confident I am just going to shut it down for the month since I just retained gold-star. I don't even know where I am at with my hands-played goal and I don't give a damn either. I'm just tired of losing and a few days off might be the best remedy for me.

Until then, enjoy this bloodbath ...

AA Overplayed or Just Unlucky? (Both??)

KK, I tanked for a while making this Preflop Call. Cracked by QQ.

Versus a 39/3 shortstacker (38 hands) ... Bad Preflop Min-Call?
