Fart Warrior: I hate poker

Hi guys I have been a member for CR for a few months now. I am a 50NL regular and go by the user name 'Fart Warrior'. Some people like the name, some people think im a donk, whatever. I just like the idea that it can tilt people if i get lucky on them.

My game has improved so much during the past few months, I have been mainly playing 50NL 6max and HU. I have experienced success in both areas and in the first 3 months whilst being a member of CR i was up 65 buyins. Things were looking sweet and i was ready to move up to 100NL with the sufficient bankrole in place. I set a goal at the beginning of the year that I want to have a 10k bankrole by next year.

However for nearly 2 months now i have struggled to break even, the swings have been brutal and poker is starting to get to me big time. I know people shouldnt moan about swings, but i dont care! I have to get my frustration out some where. I find myself regularly going on a 5/6 buyin downswing: yes i do tilt like most peole but its just hard to play solid poker when im having idiots sucking out on me all the time. I find that I do have an edge on the players at the stakes i play including the regs, but lately it is hard to play my 'A game' because im having a kick in the stomach every time im in a session.

Sorry for rambling on about my current situation, it's just my girlfriend is tired of me moaning to her how this fish catches a 2 outer on the river bla, bla, bla, so I thought i would write in my blog to people who can relate to me. I have decided to take the week off from poker I think it will do me good. Any way I am going home to Wales to see my family and friends so I think the lay off will do me good.

Also if you play with me guys at 50NL, please feel free to add a post.
I just want improve my game and there must be leaks, because this Break Even stetch can't be variance alone. So im thinking of having a some coaching off one of the small stakes pros. Any suggestions guys?
Also any body else experienced a brutal break even stretch like me?

Peace out guys
Fart Warrior
