My drop to 2/5 has started off with my nuts getting kicked in as usual. I started up on Saturday +$925. I followed up Sunday Monday down -$1270. Monday I lost close to $900 in 4.5 hours. I got stacked for $500 on a mega set up hand I'm never folding. The other -$400 occured as I literally lost every hand I played. I'm not playing bad, but not my A-game.
I've realized I'm somewhat out of touch with playing 2/5. So basically I don't really fit in anywhere right now. I have to get used to basically toning it down to the core and playing a 90%+ all value straight-forward game. Beating 2/5 for a decent win-rate is extremely boring for me compared to 5/10 at times. There's no stress financially, but there is a good amount of agnoizing boredom, anger, and depression that can easily build up with 2/5 (which I'm already feeling somewhat). I guess it's either grind out emotionally crushed at 2/5, or have a heart attack playing 5/10.
I have to find a way to really dig down and grind out a few solid months on mid-stakes. I'm going home for Thanksgiving so I'm planning to take at least 5 nights completely away from playing poker.
When I come back I also want to try to focus on a different casino a few nights a week that only has 2/5 running. I think this will really help me personally. It puts me on tilt seeing the 5/10 regulars strolling around. And it's very hard for me not to check the 5/10 games. I think it would be good to be in an environment with just no 5/10 and all.
Don't really feel like typing anymore. I feel quite defeated and disgusted at the moment.
