lets see.... from where i left off.

i broke even 6 days later with profit of 300 sgd, and then had one even bigger major tilt and lost 6000 sgd in a day, so i was down 6000 sgd for the month on the 19th. 6 days later i broke even. its crazy shit. dont ask me how i do it, i really think tht i am gonna have my first losing month, perhaps to people around, its jus like another routine, but to me, i know how fucking fucking difficult it is to win back 6000 sgd jus like tht. i dont know how i do it, jus somehow. and tht 6 days ago was yesterday.

today had my biggest win ever in my poker life. won 4.2K sgd. inclusive of NL and FL and soccer betting all combined. * can you see tht 4.2K is my biggest win and my biggest lost is like 6000 sgd in a day and 4000 usd one session? its not tht easy as it looked man. so this month, instead of jus aiming for a break even, i might afterall hit 10K sgd, currently stands at 5700 excluding some of my side income. might even hit 15K IF everything goes real fucking fucking well. but i dont see how tht can happen. 5 more days to go. tht would mean i have to hit 2K on average for the next 5 days.. haha, its fuking impossible. if i do, well.. then, i also dont know.. no comments.

if there is one thing i would like to thank god,it would be the ability to jus play poker and make money from it. i dont know how to tell you, i am so gladful tht i can be doing something i love, have the passion for it as my job. i'm really happy with what i am doing now. and not only this, the one very good thing is that playing poker, its as relax as it can be. and the ability to jus play casually and win. tht is one of the best thing. i dont need to really think like fuk, the instinct will come and tell me what to do. and for this instinct, i thank god.

"And funnily enough, as competitive as poker requires you to be, it also requires you to let things go and to understand that it’s not about winning every single hand. It’s about winning in the long run and making good decisions for the long run, and so you can’t allow yourself to get really upset by one bad thing happening to you or you won’t be a good player. That was a huge lesson for me; it allowed me to be not very competitive in my personal life, which I used to be, and it allowed me to really have patience with bad things happening to me. To understand that you’re allowed to give up, you don’t have to win every single argument that you have in your life, you’re allowed to just lose some because you pick the issues that really matter to you. Everything’s about having a good life in the long run."

reading the above article, it dawned upon me, tht sometimes, you gotta let somethings go. you should be more relax and not dawn upon every single thing. afterall, its about having a good life in the long run. couldnt agree more, the next time something screwed up happens, perhaps, i can relax more.

today, the biggest loss every in my poker career. lost 5.5K sgd today.and lost 4000 usd in one session. ultra tilt. was playing at 100-200 at one point. yeah, one fuking pot, and you lose 1000 usd. nvm, its something i've gotta learn. still down 4.5K sgd for this month, was initially up like 3K before today. until this really bad session.

take the chill pill, relax and come back fres tomorrow. one important thing is not to think about your loss(5.5K) the previous day, if you do, you will go on tilt and lose more money. yeap. wish me luck.

This month, gotta be one of the worst for the past 6 months. barely breaking even for poker. up around 700 usd so far and its been one third of the month already.. today, i lose like 2700 sgd.. fuk man.. thats the variance we are talking about. its crazy. dont even wanna talk about it. tilt like shit. this month, ups and down, really alot man. yeah balls. its tough shit.

come to think about it, seriously, playing poker can be rewarding. but its definetly not easy. i mean come to think about it, you need lots of reverse physchology, discipline, etc etc etc. its not jus abc. yeah. its tough when things are not going your way. :).. 20 more days tilll the end of the month, hopefully i can hit like 10K at least? hopefully man. yeah. god, wish me luck.

ciao
