Default Sanity check

Hey 98,

Bad swings happen. Whenever a player says "I'm playing great poker" I smile. You are not.

I've posted a winner for 13 straight months of online play, and I'm playing 125-150 hours per month, 2-3 tables at a time. I'm not playing great poker.

I had a 25,000 hand group recently where I was unable to win anything substantial, just even for 5 weeks, but it ended with a 2-week winning streak. That 27K hands is your entire sample size. You are probably not as good as you think, but you may still be a winning player. When you get to 100k hands, you will know.

You are not special, you are not being picked on. The gambling gods do not hate you. You are simply a poker player. Poker is gambling. Sometimes you do not win for extended periods of time. EVERYBODY goes through this. Use the search and you will find 100's of other threads mentioning the same thing. Honest.

Better luck to you.
