was gaining traction in 8-game 0.5/1 but then took a shot at 1/2 and got smothered. insane rivers on PLO that i should fold but call out of frustration, losing in 2-7 not hitting when they do or draw 2 OOP guys hitting nuts or #2 on 1st draw etc. Told myself i'd play tight but frustration setting in losing big hands or being scooped in split games by the river. Will go back to 0.5/1 and stay there for a while and recoup losses and try to be a big winner there first.
My question is, how much of this is variance and how much is me being a tilted donk? i do consider myself a donk still specially in PLO since i can't seem to find the fold button when my nut flush is beat when the river pairs. I don't want to give up so will stay at 0.5/1 and when playing 1/2 will focus on 2 tables max without MTTs on the side. I think too many tables was bad too cannot make optimal plays (2 1/2 and 2 0.5/1 and 2 or 4 MTTs and lacking sleep).
We need discipline golteb, we can do this and win at this game. Sick variance though i'm telling you. Love 8-game so much i am willing to donate for now as long as MTT winnings covering it at least lol
