Next Moves
Contemplating where to go next. I want to move way down in limits until this slump blows over. Down someplace where I can be comfortable that I am playing with chips and not with money. The losses are looking more and more like money every day, and that can't possibly help my game.
My first instinct was to grind out the Cryptos at $0.50/1, but I could only find one table of that going last night. I decided to try some .35/.70 6-max. True to form, I dropped 24 BB there in about 15 minutes. Every few months I try 6-max and every few months I swear never to try it again. I should let someone examine my hand histories to verify that I just have awful luck whenever I sit at a 6-max table. I am inexperienced, but I lost to so many BS dominated hands and a few runner runners last night - as usual when I sit at a 6-max. Sigh. I will play at .5/1 FR, but I need some other tables open then as well - looking to other sites for this.
I went looking at Ultimate Bet for the first time in a long while last night. I played there well over a year ago, and got brutally hammered. I was fairly new to poker, having just a few months' experience at the time, and had never experienced such bloodshed....or chipshed, as it were. I withdrew from UB after a week and vowed never to go back. I have even posted many times in forums about my "voodoo curse" there. Looking at it again (a sure sign of my current desperation) the bonus clearing terms look pretty ordinary. Seems $1/2 might be the "sweet spot" where you are likely to be getting the most returned as far as % of rake refunded is concerned. The tables looked reasonable, too, so I may give them another shot. Still thinking.
I could always do another Action Poker Network skin. I am not sure how well bonus clears at $1/2 and below, but those tables sure are soft. Could be just what the doctor ordered. There's also a few Primas that will clear at .5/1 and below I haven't played yet. Boss and Tribecca, too! I have many options, I am just not fully satisfied with any of them. Eventually I'll figure out what I a going to do. No hurries. Its not like I have a deadline or anything.
