    Hey man, i hate seeing giraffs like that i feel the pain!

    One thing that comes to mind from my own experience is that allmost without exception around a big milestone or a big change i often experience lots of issues. It could be when im about to move up or when im switching sites or even just planning giant grinds. Sometimes it is just simple things like wanting to buy something or cashout or running great and glorifying/boasting a godrun graph.

    For me personally moments like these can mentally change your vision of expected outcome and turn a logical/realistic view into something more wishfull based on emotion or ego.

    The moment you create a situation where >>winning or NOT losing<< a session or buyin (shortterm) becomes more important to you then playing good/studying/improving/long term its really easy to get lost in tilt and these types of tilt a for me the most dangerous cause its a global tilt, not hand/session specific and can linger many sessions if left unchecked.

    After experience this myself quite a few times now i try to be extra aware or concious of these moments and try to pay more attention to my mental state, could even be planned moments of reflection in your day/grind schedule. A routine in a way. Ask yourself every x time how am i feeling, am i still playing good, should i stop or am i still playing my a-game.

    Also whenever i suspect or feel i might be going through something like this i try to move down regardless of my brm/bankroll for a set amount of hands/time untill i feel better or confident that im playing my normal game.

    I dont know if this applies to your situation or will help you at all but you know 😀

    GL with the grind!

    Hey man welcome and good luck on your journey, i just started myself comming from NLH also :D.

    Especially when your starting out on the micros (at least from what ive seen so far) your going to be multiway a LOT. So really try to understand which part of the ranges is relying on folds to become playable and which part does better in multiway environments. Same for the 3bet ranges.

    Best of luck and dont forget to have fun 😀

    Hi man, i saw you at the tables with some nice stacks the other day i was really hoping you were doing well, im sorry to hear your not doing great.

    If you keep working on and reviewing your game and making good decisions (bankroll) im sure it will turn around and sometimes smart decisions includes reviewing money going out like your doing now.

    I just hit my first brick wall of variance myself.

    The most important thing in poker is to not go broke and if your having a hard time being more conservative with your brm is always a good thing if your not in a position to refill. The second you get too invested in the desire to win(or not lose) it becomes a lot harder to make good decisions.

    Hope you turn it around soon and dont lose your enjoyment/love for the game even if its sometimes brutal af.

    Best of luck and hopefully “welcome back” soon,

    lets go dude!

    fold more SB and lead less oop 😀 lets fucking go. Your putting in the work and your recognizing your weak spots in gameplay and habits.

    Your on the right path man just keep it up!
