Re: 13 buy inn downswing?

Not being an arse but maybe you have a few leaks? Is that never a question here? You can't just put downswings down to variance every time, have you gone over the games to see where or if you went wrong? I'd be wanting to know why I'm being run over.

I lost 8 in a row this week but I was rivered by two outers when 90% ahead in 6 of them so I can shrug, the other 2 games I knew I played **** and admitted it to myself.

Move down to the 5's where you're comfortably rolled, get some confidence back then go back. Simples.

Ofcourse I have some leaks, we alle have. And if I knew that 100% of my losses were due to 100% bad luck, I wouldn't need to post here DUCY?

Re: 13 buy inn downswing?

I think I had a 13 buyin downswing at 6s in a 100 game sample in which I ran at 20%ROI.

so yeah

your sample size is meaningless and your buyin downswing, is not a downswing. When you get to 25 then.. we can talk. esp @ 11s.

I had a roi of 12 over 300 games at the fives. Now I have a neagativ roi of 10 over 50 games at the 10s.

Should I keep on playing the 10s?
been there, done that

Re: 13 buy inn downswing?

Last week, I had a 12 game losing streak. It was my longest ever.

This week, I just had my first 12 game winning streak. This was also my longest yet.

The funny thing about streaking and variance was just how consumed I was by the losing streak.

I had "give up poker forever" at least twice, during it.

I kicked the dog.

I smashed my laptop.

I lost my confidence. I tilted.

I was just devastated.

But yet the winning streak is like...meh. Whatever man.

No joyous fist-pumps.

No typing "gg fish" into chat.

I'm not even snap-accepting rematches after I suck out on the river.

It's like I'm waiting for the hammer to fall and smash my poker world to bits..again.

I just haven't healed yet. Srlsly.

Take a few days off, I'd say.

You are traumatized, and don't even realize it.
