Default Re: Running Bad

I'm running pretty bad right now.. I'm on a downswing that has just crossed the 200BB range (I play short handed mostly). It seems like my AK keeps losing to AQ and AJ. However, you can't get mad. That's the worst thing you can do.

Downswings are the reason that you manage your bankroll. Let's say I have a $3000 bankroll and I'm playing $3/6. I can lose 200 Big Bets and still have $1800 left which is still sufficient for $3/6. It's easier not to tilt that way.

Some people say to take a break. I don't tilt too easily, so I just play through it. If you get your hands played, and you are a winnning player, then all will be fine.
