Back to the basics
Played 4 tables of $2/4 NL 6 Max today, ran like shit, and got crushed.
I even had one of my friends, Bryan, sweating me while I was playing and basically did horrible. I don't think I made any huge mistakes, although I definitely shouldn't have stacked off JJ vs a regular who is a giant nit pre-flop.
I'm really struggling now and I don't even bother going into the office anymore because I always seem to be there all by myself. All it does is burn about 1 hour out of my day, as it takes approximately 30 minutes one way to get there from my apartment. I really am thinking that getting a poker office was a terrible idea. I add over $12k in fixed overhead costs per year which cuts into my yearly income with minimal benefit. Having any unnecessary overhead for an online poker business is completely and utterly unnecessary and retarded.
I've gotten some lessons from Nute, don't get me wrong, but they just don't seem nearly as focused, helpful, or tailored as my lessons did when I was paying by the hour and we were doing video reviews. I'm not really sure why it feels that way, but before when I took a lesson I'd always play super well afterwards and crush... now I just continue to break even. A lot of the blame is on myself too for not being in town sometimes, not being as proactive as I can to send HH's, make vids for reviewing, etc. But I'm really goddamn frustrated right now and it seriously life tilts me.
Pretty frustrating how I get worse at poker when I move to a city with the main purpose of getting better at poker. FML.
Think I'm going to start doing more sweats, HH reviews, etc with my friends so I can start improving my game. Lots of my friends are really good players themselves, but are also kind of struggling (relatively speaking).
I'm just going to keep playing, doing my best, and see what happens I guess.
