So as you can see from the title of this blog I have had another disasterous weekend at the online tables. Both bad play and bad beats have been right in my way and I managed to donk off £1.5k on Party poker at 2-4 through to 5-10NLHU. I really do not have any roll anymore and the credit card now has over £3k on it. I am still up for the year but all that money has been withdrawn from sites and put into my house....Am I bluescouse in disguise I ask myself?? No Roll, playing too high, playing shit, playing hyper aggro, playing shit again and getting the beats along the way as well. I literally couldn't sleep last night due to the fact i was worrying about the money that i have been blowing on the tables....sick
I am not going to bore you with hands but one I called an AI bet on a flop of 227 with A2 to be faced with the prospect of AK sooted and then to be hit with running sparklers from the backdoor flush and another $600 swing. In my final hand of the weekend, and one that sticks clearly in my mind I move $500 into $132 on a flop of 3 low hearts with KhQs to be called by Ah6s for the whole lot....sick move but I think a terrible call as well.
I am thinking about giving up the game because work is going well and I should hit my OTE this year which would be a nice chunk so perhaps no need for poker anymore, but then I cant forget how many good friends and great times I have had from poker and the fact that it is one of the reasons why I can own my house now....Please guys give me some advice....I am at an all time low atm.
Didn't even play the bloggerment because I was that pissed off with my game, well done to the rest of you that seem to be running well, especially BM and Amatay (who has built a very substantial roll playing nothing more really than 1-2NL.
A very depressed binner signs out....potentially for the last time.

My advice (although probably not worth too much) is to take a break. You can't give up, it's impossible! Just take a break, do other things, then when you're fully re-charged and positive, sit down and start winning.
Bad-runs only get worse if you keep playing.
Kris is right. Firstly take a break. Secondly start to try and learn to love the game again.
One thing I would say for you is to try the Cardrunners subscription. i don't think it's cheap, but there are loads of training vidies on playing cash games. i am sure it will help you to gain perspective and improve your play and confidence when at the tables. I think its something like $150, but will pay for itself.
Finally... one thing i always try and tell you. Try and use BankRoll management. Work your way up and you will feel like you acheived more. Seriously though mate. Best of luck in whatever you choose.
Bah! I just came across your blog a few weeks back and now youre shutting up shop? No way man, take a much needed break - I took myself a 2 month break recently and it worked wonders.
You dont need lectures about bankroll management, but its a hole in 90% of peeps game.
Good luck mate.
