In the 2.5 weeks since Sept 22
- My net poker results are a loss of over $5,000.
- That's about 8,000 hands at mostly $10/20 and $15/30, with a BB/100 of (2.78).
- My VP$IP/PFR/AF in that stretch is 19.5/12.5/1.6.
- Won $ When Saw Flop is 36.59%
- Went to showdown 39%
- Won $ at SD 51%
- My computer started laughing at me when I lose hands.*
- A dear member of my family is facing a serious health issue.
- Water keeps dripping out of more and more places in my house. I assume it will cost a good deal of money to fix the leaks and damage.
- In a full-body stretch gone terribly awry, I somehow managed to hurt my neck playing poker today. I can't rotate it more than 20 degrees left or right.
- My penis fell off.*
The poker games I'm in for the most part seem very good. I usually have several opponents who are consistently making obvious mistakes. I am extremely frustrated with this prolonged losing streak, and not experienced enough to have confidence in either explanation for it (bad luck/bad play). Luckily, losing thousands of dollars rather than earning money in this period is inconsequentially to me financially, since I'm independently wealthy.*
To further complicate matters, today PartyPoker separated itself from Empire, Eurobet, and the other skins, so my rakeback arrangement is most likely screwed. So it seems pretty likely that I'll effectively be paying higher rake to continue playing with Party's vast aquarium of horrendous players, rather than playing in Empire's tougher games with reduced fees. I'm a little bit concerned that a frenzy of withdrawal requests from Empire has some chance of screwing me out of the money I have deposited there, but hopefully that won't happen.
Hard to tell for sure how this whole Party situation will play out. My theory is that with any major change comes a major opportunity. I just haven't figured out what the opportunity is quite yet.
