Re: How can I be down 60BB in 6 hours?!!!
I'm playing through a downswing right now.
Down 150BB at 1/2 one night.
Another 150BB at .5/1 the next night.
Brutal.
After I studied some, and rereading SSHE, I realized that I wasn't getting unlucky, I was playing badly.
In the section about protecting your hand, Ed talks about a player who plays pocket kings very strongly. When I read this section, I agreed with the way the Hero played his hand. I know better now, having remembered what I've forgotten.
Repeat after me:
"I promise now to never lay the blame of a downswing at the door of luck, but instead take responsibility for my own play, and the improvement of it."
Even if your downswing is due to luck, working on improving our respective games can't be all that bad, can it?
