Horrible Loosing Streak -need advice

[oldye]

Down 30 buyin 2 tabling 30$ 5-handed tournaments in 2 weeks
down 3 buyins since I started 2 tabling
I've played 293 games while 2-tabling at the 30$ lvl
133 games single tabling at the 30$ lvl w/ a roi of 15%
269 games single tabling 20$ @ 28% roi

I have the bankroll to keep playing the 30's but maybe I should go down and try to 2 table 20's
any advice...
I feel that I'm not catching many hands lately/I probably havent been pushing enough since i've start loosing...not many bad beats although more then usual

Loose - "not tight"
Lose - "didn't win"

Loosing - ????
Losing - "not winning"

this is his first post..

play the 20s your just not good nuff to play higher than that.. drop the poker ADD and grind out the lower levels.

293 SnG's are not enough to tell if you are a winning player or not, especially so since you are just about break even.

So in the end, it's quite easy: Play only at levels you feel comfortable. This includes moving down if you are unsure you can beat your current one. Post hands you are uncertain about, you most likely have flaws in your game like everyone else.
It sure sounds like you need to evaluate your game more since you have changed it after you started losing.

NH

I can't count the times I see loose instead of lose...lol

I find newer folks are very tempted to multi-table because of the
mass of players here who can do it profitably. Like a chess master
who plays a simultaneous match against 100 pros...the master
needs only a batting eye to discover the best play depending on the
situation in a game. I would concern myself with mastering a single
table ESPECIALLY in no-limit formats, and moving up levels that way,
before opening that 2nd or 18th table!

I know most of you play 10 player sng's on party but if anyone has any long-term experience with 5 handed turbo sngs ...I'd like to know what
roi you have you been able to achieve at X$ after X games
since the shorthanded games take about half as much time as the 10 player games ..wouldn’t a 28% roi equate to a staggering 56% roi ?/ making my win rate at single tables at the 30$ lvl equate to a respectable 30%?

No longer shall we search high and low for FYP.

This may sound simple but why don't you try ONE-tabling and see if your results get any better.

Psychological reasons are ALWAYS an adequate reason to come down a level.

Playing scared is no way to play poker. Poker is a game of small edges expressed over a long period of time, and you can't afford to give any of them up.
