its a swingy game

Im now comming to terms with the fact that i may lose $1000 in a few sessions and i have to be able to deal with that. A 10 buyin swing is big but not uncommon to cash players. This also changes my view on my required bankroll to play cash i think i will increase my previous 20x to 30x which still might be a bit low but im confident in my ability to drop down limits if required. So this means i need a $6000 bankroll to play 200nl my online monies currently stand at $4900 or so.

Reading over this now im reminising about the time approaching on 2 years ago where i deposited $20 on poker333 and at the time if someone would have told me i would lose $1000 in 10 days i would have withdrawn and got a job instead. I remember watching fellow poker night live viewers playing the tv table which were usually 50nl and thinking they were huge games. The standard in those 50nl games were far higher than normal 50nl due to all the regulars, the first time i played in them i started out getting totally outplayed with one player floating me every time i c bet, up to that point the float had never realy been used in the games i was used to so the first few times he did it he got the better of me, i do have one thing to thank him for his play induced me to double barrel, a play which i use a lot nowadays.

Over the last few days I have been running better and definately playing better. On willhill i have switched to only 6max tables where the lose players congregate and playing 2 tables max. I have cut out any distractions like poker vids while i play and concentrate fully on my opponents taking lots of notes and trying to exploit their weaknesses. I played a couple of fr sessions on ft and the games are unbelieveably tight now im might even go as far as saying its no longer profitable to play a 10 8 game paying no attention as everyone seems to do it with the rake killing the game.
Although the graph doesnt look as good as it did today i reached the $2k profit mark again on willhill with the bonus and rakeback comming in yesterday. So i have found some confidence again which is good as i will need to play early this month to get the $100 bonus (heading to ireland around the 20th and wont be able to play online from then)
