Re: something is very very wrong

Ugh, doesnt looks very fun.

Re: something is very very wrong

Yikes. I am just recovering from an 8 buy-in downswing in NL $200 so I feel for you. What helped me is that I added a $50 PLO8 table into my mix and focused on that game while playing as an uber TAG at my 3 NL $200 tables. In two sessions, I am up almost 2 buy-ins so I think it may have helped me get out of the marginal situations that I was trying to push too hard during my downswing.

As sidenote, I have discovered that the PLO8 players (at least at the $50 level) are at least as bad as the hold'em players at that level.

Re: something is very very wrong

I know exactly how you feel, for the last 20k hands or so I've been breaking even and having bad downswings then making it back up again, usually taking money off complete donkeys then losing to badbeats and such but also making a few stupid moves along the way, thankfully I've started to reverse this trend in the last week. If you need me to sweat your play or something let me know.

You said it. They love 2pairs and non-nut straights on flush boards. It's heaven.

Re: something is very very wrong

Post hands, feel free to PM me a block or so if you want me to look at them. My computer just crashed, I have it working again now, so basically I just took a long break after getting owned and I at least feel like when I start playing again this weekend I will be in good shape.

Re: something is very very wrong

I'm going away this weekend and will be busy doing and thinking about other stuff so that is good. I could easily reload right now and be rolled for 200nl and still have a good amount of on hand cash in the bank but I didnt think I was a good time to do so. Right now I have about 1100 in party and I'm playing 100nl. So this is not some tragedy of me getting evicted or going broke, not at all, I just feel like it.

Thanks for everyone who offered help, hopefully I can swap a group of HHs with someone else and we could evaluate a blok of each other's hands. Other than that I'm not sure what I need, probably a break and a pep talk to get those stupid "are the party games dead?" thoughts out of my head would do most of it.

Re: something is very very wrong

yo dude, if you want you can send me a block of your hands and I will try to look at em and give you my best opinion, I think we play about the same limits. I don't want to make any commitments though in case I don't get around to it

Seriously though, I am actually getting out of this rut. I was up 2 buy ins today before that hand. 200$ has not felt like so much in so long. I want to thank everyone who has offered to review my hands, I haven't responded yet because I'm pretty busy right now and am about to get around to it. Soon I'll have a longer post to talk about what I've learned.

Re: something is very very wrong

not sure what to say except, well, that sucks. Post more hands.

On a happy note I won 5 buyins over the last two days...
at three times the stakes I normally play.
