Had my worst night ever in poker
Down $500 in 32 $22 tournaments. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Now I remember why I didn't move up sooner. Would feel sick losing $2000+ in a night.

Dude, thats a pretty ugly downswing in only 32 games. Tilt? or are you still playing your A game and just taking bad beats, or card dead? [/ QUOTE ] I will have to look over the HH but not much tilt if any. The usual AA losing, KK running into KK and losing it to a flush, straight to full house, full house to 4 of a kind, etc. Lost every single coinflip on the bubble. Meh, will try again tomorrow.

Re: Had my worst night ever in poker
My day:
Dropped $300 at the $33s. Slowly made $100 of it back. Decided to F-it and just play a couple of $55s. Made $300 playing 2 $55s. So up $100 for the day. So clearly the solution to your problem is to move up in limits. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Had my worst night ever in poker
I will try that play next time. This grinding stuff sucks anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Plus I sure moved up in the leaderboard with 1 1st and 1 2nd in 4 hours of play.

[/ QUOTE ] even though you might not be angry and therefore "tilting", losing this many buy ins may cause you to play different. try taking a break for a while, even though not playing feels like you're losing potential money.

You know you are playing too high if you feel stupid for losing. Irieguy

Re: Had my worst night ever in poker
Decided to move up 100% to PS 25+2. Also decided to finally try out a PS mod. Decided to do both at the same time plus decided to try out 5-tabling.
Result 1: table per hours skyrocketed over the first 10 tourneys. Average tourney time at about 10 mins. Result 2: Discovered that I cannot make out the 100s chips on a darkish grey felt. Discovered that I am willing to start new tourneys nevertheless, handling 5 tables simultaneously the first time plus fiddling with MSpaint to get a better background plus searching on 2+2 for other mods. 5 tourneys later (15 total) I'm down like 13.5 buy ins. Great! But I have a new background to try out. Enter break. Enter reflection. Enter selfdepreciation. Smoking in the garden. Blew $250 like an 1d1ot! Regroup! Back at the tables. Play 10 more. 3 1st, 3 2nd, 1 3rd, getting lucky + playing 95% good poker. -> up a 100$ for the night.
