down over 70k hands
I've been full timing 1/2 .5/1 NL on 8 tables for a little over 2 1/2 months....started playing poker in april and i've averaged something like 3-3.5k a month since i started in .25/.5 so I know that I'm not a losing player and I've been consistently beating the limits that I play now...
But anyway this month i've hit a sick maybe 70 thousand hand slide, i'm not down that much at all, around -700 excluding rake My question is though...i've gotta know, is this normal..I've never heard of a winning player still being in the red after this many hands...Is this time to panic and start going back and analyzing my whole game that's worked great for the last 5 months? Or do I continue to ride it out?

Re: down over 70k hands
You could try reducing the number of tables you are doing. Decreasing the tables generally increases winrate.

Re: down over 70k hands
I'd be worried.
A downsing over that many hands at those limits is not varience. Theres something wrong with your game.

Re: down over 70k hands
How did you plug the leaks? What methods did you use?

[/ QUOTE ] -tv off -cut tables in half -play 8 hours a day -read every morning(2+2) and everytime i noticed a symptom of tilt(ex - not believing people when they raise me, chasing) i wrote it down to help me later when i'm in that stage where i don't know if it's the cards or if it's me, just like a tilt checklist...might just be me but I think things through a lot more clearly when I put it to paper.

I find it odd you played 70k hands without noticing you had some leaks and you take some time last night and find them and now it's go time??

Re: down over 70k hands
The biggest problem was turning into a robot, so I dropped back down to 4 tables for a little bit & turned the tv off...I still think most of it was the cards though, a cold streak that long is possible.
back on track now...but even though i'm winning again i get way too frustrated at the smallest beat so it's time for a break.
