Also periods when you get deep all the time (let's say top 2% in every other tournament), periods with FT in every single session, periods with no cash in every single session, periods with 50% mincashes and so on. So, just play more.

I had a streak of something like 55 final-18s / 28 final tables without a single top-3 finish that spanned like 3 months or something, including like 8th 10th 10th 9th 10th 9th in tournaments with 50k+ for first or something to that effect...

if you just looked at that sample you'd be like "holy **** this guy runs worse than anybody else in the history of poker" and then if you extend that window by 1 week on each side you would say "holy **** this guy runs so good it's insane"

In other words, everyone's gone through it, the important thing is to keep your cool, keep playing well, don't become afraid / fearful / anticipate doom every time you get deep and start playing ****ty.

And next time you make the final 20 of a tournament remember... YOU ARE ALMOST DEFINITELY GOING TO LOSE. The universe doesn't owe you anything, you still lose 95% of the time you make the final 20. So forget about the past and the future and just try to play well that time and move on from there.
really great post, ty

Ha...after GB's post, I'll prolly never expect to win a tourney again. I'll just realize the miracle that happened like a Baby Jesus when I win a tourney again.

Read this (lol at posting this after Ase): http://www.pokersavvy.com/blogs/bond...e-and-closing/

I had a kind of 'cool' streak last month where four straight times that I played the 11c on PS I took 33rd, 12th, 15th, and 30th in like 600 person fields...that was part of a streak of about 400 mtts where I had 15-20 6th-18ths in a row before finally shipping a tourney yesterday (Hot 33 Turbo...woo)

Had a quick count of up my scheduled MTT ft's on Pokerstars OPR...

Around 148 FT's played

28 wins
24 seconds
9 third place finishes
109 tenth - eighteenth place finishes

Run better imo
