The Slump Continues.. Sort of..

Well, been playing again tonight and followed the same pattern. Dropped 1 buy-in, and then won it back and some more. I ended up about 6BB. It is better than being down, but I would still like to have that monster night I am waiting for. If you lose a buyin and then win one and some more what does that say about your game? Does it mean you are average and do well on some tables? Variance at 5/10 is a bitch? Bad Luck? Bad Choices? Hard to say. Ideas?

I will have to wait for a while. I have agreed with the wife to cut down on the Poker a little. She is getting a little pissed. *sigh*. I am going to play Mon-Thu and leave the weekends for her and the kids only. We will see if I can show restraint from the game I love. heh.

One other note for those of you who are married: Do not let your spouse know anything about your Poker Bankroll. I was letting the wife know how I was doing, but she really doesn’t understand variance. Hell, I have a lot of problems with it! Hearing I lost $400 of my Bankroll seems crazy to her. She assumes the worst. So keep it all a secret, and just surprise the wife when you make withdrawals or something.

That is all for now. I might not Blog until Monday. If I do then it will probably be something profound at least to me. Good luck to you all!

I didn't think I had to do this but...

*Bitch Slap*

Never tell the wife about the poker bankroll. Ever...

On your statement about dropping a buy-in and getting it back. It sounds like you might want to take more time choosing a table before you start playing. It's harder at 5/10 because there are alot less tables to choose from, but it might cut down on the variance.

I never tell my wife about losses... only wins. You disclose losses, it just gives them an excuse to go out and spend. It's like.. she buys that $200 outfit.. you can't really complain if she knows you just lost $400 playing poker.

I told my wife about taking 2nd in the Grublog tourney last night, but didn't tell her about the Showgirls DVD set coming my way :D
