Not a Conspiracy Theory
 

Two nights ago I won about $280 playing $2/4 limit on two tables. Now I know what you're thinking: "Wow! Is this guy pound for pound the best internet poker player ever?" And the answer is of course.

I've had this type of success in the past, but a strange thing happens whenever I do: I lose most of the money in the next few days. Now I'd like to think that my favorite poker site is conspiring against me cause then I won't have to admit to any flaws in my game. But that's just silly stupid. I think that my problem is overconfidence/cockiness. So, I was wondering if I should concentrate on playing a much tighter game in order to combat that feeling that I can't be beaten? Or would it be better to take a few days off? Or should I maybe just cash out my winnings and retire in style?

You're right. Stupid government always keeping me from getting my burger on.

Re: Not a Conspiracy Theory
 

maybe you are getting overconfident and playing worse, but

more likely it's just normal poker fluctuations. you can't expect to always win when you play well, and you can't expect to always lose when you play poorly.

I'm sure you're right. It's just a bit frustrating, I guess.

The feeling that you can't be beaten is no more productive and no more realistic than the feeling that you can't win. If you don't like saddling yourself with the latter idea, don't saddle yourself with the former.
