i legit feel like i lost 10 games in a row due to losing when i was ahead.. =/

I feel so sad brah

mbn to run so good that you gii ahead 10 games in a row.

sick life getting best hand and getting it in

this subforum is such sh it

get over yourselves

Ahead means 52/48?

Keep your head up man, 10 in a row is not that bad.

ok guys i was down a lot but now i'm up for the day but still.. i've never experienced that feeling of just getting it in ahead and just losing like that

i'm guessing it's normal.. better get used to it i guess

im not sure but someone else needs to get over himself

cmon guys we don't need to push away new players because they don't know whats standard

ikz, most regs have had 15-20 game losing streaks at some point (it's way out of the ordinary, but it does happen), and 100-200BI downswings overall do happen

it's what keeps fish interested in the game, there's a good chance they win even though we can get volume and win in the long run

i came here to ask a question and receive help from like minded people, not to get memes shoved up my ass. this isn't BBV. seriously, what's the point of these forums if ally ou get are meme tards from 4 chan that probably don't even play poker?

Ok, jokes apart.
Ikz don't know your volume but it can be as bad as 300 bi below EV, take a peak at "acoimbra" on pokerstars sit and go graph no sharkscope, he was top HT (Even doh for 6max not HU) but just to have a notion about it. But losing streaks on hypers can last and last and last. As game after game, 20 or 30 can happen

**** happens, as you heard from Ibavly who explained the obvious, you can lose 10 in a row even if you play well...

on the side note: 95o is not a good hand to call a 3bet with (unless you know you flop 3 of a kind)

my thinking was, he was 3 betting 30 percent of his hands pre.. if i hit and there are no high cards i can prob stack him because he usually 3 bets -> auto all in if he's OOP..

Worth noting, in none of those hands did you outplay your opponents. They all played pretty much properly, you were lucky to have a good hand and they were lucky to draw out on you.

This indicates you have a bit of a mental game leak when it comes to understanding luck. The best advice is don't pay attention to it, just study the game as much as you can and let the rest sort itself out.

Remember, the swings you get at this point in your life are meaningless next to the swings you will hopefully go through in another year. However an improvement of even one leak you find now can compound and make you 100s of BIs throughout your career.

cliffs:
poker has a lot of luck
what you are going through might suck but nobody else will care
get good, print money

so you call with 95? and cry about -10 bi ? ufff man you are so unlucky, but it will turn around just play your best.

I'm sure you can empathize with it feeling devastating, but I understand what you are saying..

If I want to make money I need to be professional about it, probably my biggest leak which is what i'm working on currently. Thanks for the advice.

i would say around 50 BI

Lol sick graph

That's actually quite standard.

Normal variance is getting it in 50/50 10 times, and winning 5.

You shouldnt ask this...well you shouldnt play hypers...you should now this if ur a reg..same that u answered me.
