I Retired For Less Than 2 Months!!!!!
Started playing low stakes poker again but unfortunately the luck is as terrible as ever. So far only playing £1 games to get my confidence back but the results are as terrible as follows.....
1 - 2nd
2 - 3rd
8 - Unplaced!!!!!!
Of those unplaced I believe 4 were 4th and 2 were 5th. Can do what I like for the first 4 levels but just cannot get a break when it comes down to the big deciding pot to get into the last 3. Seem to always lose them, seem to always be ahead. Confidence totally shattered and if I push then someone behind me has a big pocket pair or has me dominated. Always! :(
Anyway 11 is not a big enough sample so will persevere with the low stake STTs until the end of the month, if I cannot make a profit then it is time to wave the white flag again.
My Sharkscope stats (which I have now blocked) were interesting. Shows a graph going up and up until I reached profits of over $1,000 and then it completely flatlined since December 2005.
Will hopefully have played about 100 of these STTs by end of August, hopefully I can win at least 1 of them!

Don't forget that you pay twice as much rake on the low stake STT. Its hard enough beating the rake as it is.
I think the eariest standard rake is $5+$0.5 nad the standard is no better than your £1 games. If you are planning on playing 100 games why not just play 50 games at $5 instead and see if your profits increase.
Good luck mate.

Cheers Highstack but these games are not for the profit, they are to get my confidence back and get used to STTs again. Will hopefully be moving up to 10% rake very soon.
Although at the moment it is having the opposite effect and my confidence is taking a hammering. :(
doob,great to see you back matey, keep your chin up and it will come.
