I HATE RAKE

I multitabled for the first time in a while today and played around 60 games. When I was done I felt like I would be up a couple games, but I was really down 1/2 BI due to rake.

 

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

 

Oh and I have paid 4300 rake and made only 1.1k this month.....yay

need the advicez

So I am currently playing poker semi-professionaly. Im in college with low expenses and dont take the game as seriously as I should but it is my only source of income at the moment. I am beating the $55 turbos on stars at an decent clip and trying to break into the $110's. I have a really small sample size but haven't had any success in the 110's. I think most of my problem is not being serious enough about poker on any level but it has been pretty hard for me to get motivated to play/study and sometimes go on spew sessions which I never let get outta control but the dont help at all. Some days I wake up and when I really should sit down and play for a while or watch some vids I end up making myself some food, watching sportscenter, then calling up a friend and hanging out.

small and quick update

So apparently making the biggest whine post in poker history on multiple sites triggers a huge boomswitch. The day after I made my last blog post I ran like $500 above EV while playing probably the worst poker of my life. Since I am running so good I decided to take a 1 BI shot at the $110's and I ran like GOD in the first one with the nuts every hand then played against someone who might as well have been playing plo with the way he put money in the pot and I beat him. So I'm feeling pretty good and hopefully I don't downswing at the $110's for a little while so I can just keep playing them.

2 months of hell

So i have been putting off making a blog entry on here because I wanted to be able to put something positive in it but i feel the need to write out some of my frustration so here it goes.

I decided to go "pro" at poker/husngs about five months ago. I was living in a $800 dollar apartment not including utilities and going to college. I figured I would take a semester off of college and just see how playing poker for a living treated me. I was playing the $55's and making good consistent money and was really excited to be able to put in a ton more volume while not having to deal with college(which I have never really been to excited about anyways, I was just going because I had nothing else to do with my life at the time). It started off all right but for the first 2 months I just kinda cruised along and took advantage of the fact that I wasn't in college anymore and was playing a game for a living where no one told me when to work.

$100 shot....yay

So i took my first shot at $100 games today and bumhunted like crazy, finally found a -9% roi fish and got kinda excited. I proceeded to loose 3 games in a row to him, the first one I don't remember how i lost but the hand I remember is me minraising at  25/50 with KK 1300 eff and he 3b to 300. Normally I would just flat this and jam the flop cause most of his cbets will be commiting but I was like "I really dont want to see an A so ill just jam now, hes commited anyways" but he folds and I proceed to hand him the match in some dumb fashion. The second match we got it in with my A9 vs his KK on 982 and he holds. For the third match, I 3b 77 at 25/50 1100 effective and flop came KK4 and we got it in and he had K8 then insta declined rematch. I dont really mind losing the money I just hate losing 3 games in a row to someone who wasn't terrible but wasn't good during a shot. Guess ill have to make those BI back tomorrow at $55's and I might bumhunt again.
