running so good you don\'t want to play? (NC)
So recently I've hit the good end of the variance in a rather extreme way but I KNOW that this can only be a harbinger for an impending bad streak. I almost don't want to play because I know it's gonna fall off any tournament now! Anyone else get this way when they put together a big winning streak?

No, enjoy the upswing and stop resembling scobby doo in a dark room.

You're right, I am being a [censored]. I just know it can't last. Not that I'm playing scared or anything, I just know I'm gonna hit the other end sooner or later.

If you think a downswing is coming it usually does. Scared poker is never winning poker.

There's always going to be a bad streak around the corner. Onl stop playing if you hate money or if you aren't any good.

I suggest you have the site send you a check, cash it, then head for the backyard.

I've gone through that phase not too long ago. In fact I almost wanted a small bad streak to come so that I would know that I could fight through it.
Then the bad streak came, I went on tilt for two days (i.e. saying this is a stupid play but I'm on tilt right now, so I'll make it anyway). Took a day break, and came back with the notion of thinking about every play I make for at least 5 seconds before I make it. Since then I've went on another small hot streak, moved up in limits and am now at the tail end of a 400 game heater. That two day tilt was probably the best thing thats happened to my game, cause it convinced me that I actually should start thinking about my plays instead of saying "oooh AJs is so pretty...I'll reraise your reraise!" |

Yes, my 2006 goal, take my time for decisions involving my whole stack rather than just push all in even thoug I know I am behind.
