Starting Over

I tried to do something that was going to take time and money to complete.  That was to learn the live game and try it at the highest level I could.  I had a real good run for a week in the new casino I was playing at but the next week I branched out to an Omaha and $2-$10 game and it didn't work. 
 
I sat down to play in the $2-$20 game and every hand I played was second best.  I tried to bet people off of hands but there was a very loose and aggressive guy that just wouldn't give up.  He was on my right and every time I thought I had the better hand he was right there.  Not much I could do but watch my chip stack dwindle until I was off the table.  For me that was all I am going to put into the live game and will now go back to playing in the tournaments. 
 
For me tournaments have been up and down and I know you can not win them all.  At least it is a set amount of money I can lose and I can go back to enjoying the game.  We will see if I can get going again and somehow build this bankroll back up. 
 
Just a little bit discouraged but in this case but I just have to start over and keep studying and working at the prize in front of me.
 
Have a fun day....

Excellent decision in my opinion. As u know from my blog if you read it I have been having a great deal of contradictory thoughts between cash games and grabbing the perks associated with that form of poker and tournaments only which is what I have played and been successful at for years. Bottom line is it's what you enjoy doing more and also be profitable at the same time.

Yes, I have been reading your blog and do enjoy seeing what you are doing. I feel better with tournaments and wanted cash to pay for the tournaments. Not going to happen for awhile. Back to enjoying the tournaments. Thanks for reading and commenting.
