it's reflection time

Ok, i have reached the century buyin mark- we have officially lost 100 buyins at 1/2nl lol...never thought it would EVER come to that, but here the situation sure has arrived.....and quickly might i add!!

Many would think to themselves at this point "shit man, i gotta bail and cut my losses," but I can't disagree more with this type of thinking. Allow me to elucidate...

Even if I lose 400 buyins on this bet, i will still basically breakeven. Many will say "waste of time to breakeven after 2 months," but that is hardly the case at all. I will have gained the status of supernova elite, which means that next years earnings will be much greater. That is just one point though, and I haven't begun going into the "how much I learned from this" kinda thing.

So I will now.

I have learned a great deal from this already. I learned that you can run very, very badly in poker- badly then I have ever imagined...and this is coming from a professional poker player who has grinded millions and millions of hands over 6 years. I learned that bankroll is more important that I thought, and 100 buyins should DEFINITELY be the minimum bankroll if you're a multitabler.

Next, my poker game has gotten EXTREMELY better. (Caps Lock is FUN!) I have been talking to a high stakes 10/20nl regular and he has been helping me out so much with my game, it is crazy. I have never thought about poker at this level, and I didn't even know it existed. This newly acquired knowledge and way of thinking of the game, to me, equals an uncapped amount of money.

Lastly, and most importantly if you ask me, is I will not end this bet because I still feel that I can win this thing. All it is going to take for me to win is about 1pt/100 hands, which is usually so easy that it is laughable. Times have been tough, and i may not have been playing my very best, but I have been playing pretty solid. I think a bad run coupled with the life change has caused me to lose, but mostly the bad run.

I REFUSE to just cower down now and not try to complete this task. Reasons? Well, the above stated, and also things such as......shit, if I learned this much already, imagine how much I can learn upon completion of this bet? A ridiculous amount...

I am not going to just say "sheeeeet nuk nuk, i'm down 100 buyins, that's it!!" No way man. Sorry, but this Poo does NOT abide. I am going to continue to work on my game, continue to improve, and continue to adapt to this new lifestyle until I achieve success.

Shoutouts to my 10/20nl friend helping me so much, and a HUGE shoutout to runhot, my boy and personal manager of sorts throughout this expedition. You guys rock, hugs and kisses :)

That is it!!! I'm off to play, love you all.

Tear,
KPoop
