From there to be honest i was a little shocked after i dropped 5 stacks, i started to question my decision to play Cash and not MTTs or SNGs, i somehow ended a winner, but i srsly need to rethink my decision, idk if 25 buy-ins its enough for Cash. What happens if i lose 5 or more stacks and i enter tilt mode, i might lose it all. I'm in doubt, should i move to SNGs/MTTs or should i stick with cash?


I think your bankroll is big enough to play 4NL. But ofcourse that doesn't take into account losing big amounts because of tilt. I don't have much experience with tilt myself, but if tilt is a problem for you, I would advise playing the games which are less likely to tilt you.

Cash, SNGs and MTTs each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Cash is the best way to develop as a player, because it has the most deep postflop play. It's also the game where the variance evens out the fastest and thus where you can get the most steady results (all relative ofcourse, it's still poker so there is still a lot of variance). SNGs are less variance heavy than MTTs, and they are softer than cashgames, and so an ideal bankroll builder. The MTTs probably allow you to have the biggest ROI and hourly on the low stakes, but they have very big variance, so they're a bit of a gamble in the short term and not ideal to play from a small bankroll.

Don't let a few bad sessions question your plans. Poker is a mentally challenging grind. Maybe set yourself some goals which can help you with your mental game. Here's an example: set yourself the goal of taking a screenshot every time you either suck out on someone or cooler someone. Then set yourself the goal to open one of these screenshots every time you get a bad beat. Or set yourself the goal to just end your session when you had a few bad beats and feel it's influencing your decisions, and be proud of yourself if you managed to calmly end a loosing session. Also, try not to evaluate your sessions by asking "did I make profit" but rather by asking "did I play well" or "did I tilt".

@BalonasI didn't tilt, i just run good at the €1 and decided to try the €2 and see what's the difference, i did well and decide to try the €4 and surprisingly enough i did OK, and decided to end my day with a treat, a sweet €10 and what do you know i won it. Can't talk much about the €10 cuz i run like GOD in it, in the €1 its like you play with a bunch of lotto players, there are times when i'm not sure if they even know the rules of NL, at the €2 it's not such chaos like in the €1 but still pretty soft, at the €4 it's decent but still beatable. This is my overall perception of what i've seen yesterday, so isn't a big sample. But it helps alot when you run like GOD vs punters. Tip: Between 01:00 and 04:00 Romanian time, in the €1 there are people that go all-in every hand with any two cards, now i dont know if they collude or wtf is going on but it helps when you double up, and hurts when you get your AKs cracked by Q5o for a lot of blinds.

I'm in a bit of a downswing in life, long story short, today i was finally let go from work. Maybe you where wondering how does this guy have the time to play all this Freerolls, SNGs and MTTs. Pretty much my employer was keeping me home because he had no work for me, but the trick is he payd me in full even if i wasn't working and staying home. I got a little bit of compensation, and i'll get from the state a little more. The bad news is there isn't a decent employer in a 100 km area, so if i want to work again i might need to move to another city, which i personally dislike. So i cashed out all the bankroll and put all my earnings and savings for rainy days together and i'll have 6 months of expenses where i live now and if i move i'll have 3 months. This money is for 2018 cuz i have everything paid up till the end of the year. Another bad news, some thieves stole my motor from my boat, and the lady over the street didn't have the security camera recording box turned on. #RIPmotor Why i did withdraw my bankroll, because its one month in expenses. I want to play it as smart as possible, i don't think i'm in a mental state right now where i can do good decisions with the bankroll, so it's better to have it in my bank account then do something rash, like take a big risk. To be F real i'm scared, this change brings me out of my comfort zone, and i had such a good run till now. To make matters worse my cat died of old age 10+ years of boss life, im sad but im also happy, i think he had a good life, i game him good food, played with him everyday and he had the freedom to do what he wanted. #RIPcat Either way i'm gonna take some days to plan it out and get my emotions in order, and try to find another decent job. If i don't find anything, maybe i still feel motivated to grind it up again or maybe i don't. Stay safe y'all, much love.

Sry to hear of your job problem. In 2018 will be even harder after the monetary politics that the government just took. Sry to hear of cat and motor. Keep positive. You need it. At my job it's ok, everybody from familly are good, the thiefs robbed me last year but since \i've took more guarding measure and the cats are good too. Just the poker is down :).

@FreedoM, I"m so sorry to hear of all your challenges. I'm especially sad to hear that your furry kid passed over. My thoughts & prayers go out to you. Keep the faith... You'll find another job, a better job with more pay, don't worry. You have determination (I've seen that from reading your blog) so it won't be long before you right as rain. Keep your chin up Boss. I'm holding thumbs for you. 👍

Always remember... You can be... do... or have anything your heart desires !
