I'm loosing ~30k this month, a big piece of that is because of the shot at 2KNL but it still sucks. I also get really upset when I don't play my best, this is the main reason of why I get so angry.

If you see the graph I posted on the first page, you'll see I'm loosing money on last 70k hands @z500.

So, It's not about the 7 bi's. It's about having maybe the worst month of my carreer.

Sick downswing, still more after having had the best month of your career on July xD.
It will end at some point I guess.
I open a blog of my own, it's from nanostakes but I would be glad if you pass (: as an Argentinian you're an inspiration to me :P

doesnt seem that much buy in wise given most of it was at 2kNL according to what you said? Just keep grinding away and youll be just fine, variance is actually a thing in poker

Maybe aint that much buy ins, but I don't care. It was a shot and it's still 30k usd xD. I know variance is variance, but I'm not used to 30k swings given my main level is z500. Anyway, it's going to change soon, as you said, I just have to keep grinding .

Hey guysss.

Today I was studying a little bit my game, and comparing it with my last months when I was crushing the tables. I was lacking in a few things (don't want to talk much about what I'm changing ). I also watched a few vids, and analyzed some of the bests. I guess it was a very productive day. Along these 20k hands, I spewed some spots VERY hard. I sometimes had that feeling where you are thinking "fold" and who knows why you end up making a stupid hero call. It can't happens again. It won't.

Tomorrow I'll start playing 3 tables and I'm going to be pretty focus on things I think I have to change in my game given what I saw today. I'm going to add the 4th table only If I see myself playing my A-Game.

Cya!

It is quite refreshing to see that even 500z players need a day off to study every and again. Glad you figured out some stuff. Gl at the tables!!

That's pretty much a paradox.. Ofc 500z regs need to study a lot, competition is way tougher at 500z and above so it's easy to fall behind if you dont study enough. Obviously some people dont need to study at all, but that's quite rare.

https://www.weaktight.com/h/57c54dc9d390437b018b4593

It's the first big day since I started the challenge. I've been needing one of those very hard; lets try to keep the good run .

Results atm:



Truth is I wanted to make the challenge harder, so I brokeeaven this first 25k hands on purpose .

Let's the fun begin.

I'm not really sure about that. My first reaction was that it was a disaster but I'm not sure. I usually have the NSD's even, or maybe winning a bit, so its something to look at, but again, idk. I'm going to be paying attention to this in the next hands.

Yes, I guess folding the straight and calling 88d,66d and flushes is gonna be fine

Juan , how you work the downswing as you were coming having? What is the method to be applied to understand that this is only a simple downswing but the game is still good and long-term winner ? You expect a certain amount of hands to check your game?
Éxitos y saludos desde La Plata
