when i did my first raptor challenge, to take a shot at the 109s again, after having a literal break even run over 900 of them, i came to a realization after the first 200 played. something was wrong. durrrrrr. ok, i came to that realization before also, but this time.. it was different. i had numerous people look at my game, i reviewed countless hand histories, and found few problems or leaks in my game. nothing that would cause a break even streak of quadruple digits of sngs. well, it was there. believe it or not, i was TOO agressive. yea yea, be agressive blah blah.

i never had a problem with the early game, as i was NEVER in a pot out of position with AQ, and especially not KQ. that kinda thing wasnt the issue. it was that i was pushing just too many hands later in the tournament. hands that COULD be minorly +ev to push, could be minorly -ev to push. at that time, i didnt have eastbay's trusty proggy to help me out. so, over the next 300 of my challenge, i slowed down a bit later. actually tightened up a bit. stepped away from being the insane lunatic on the bubble. i became only the slightly crazy agressive player on the bubble.

i dont really know what the point of all this is, except that after a losing streak, maybe make a change. if you feel yer being too passive, step it up and push yer stack around. if yer pushing an awful lot and running into an absurd number of hands, put the brakes on for a bit. see if it helps. since yer on a losing streak anyway, it sure cant hurt right?!?!? holla
