Default Re: Downswings and bad play

I have over 100,000 hands in online play and am about a 2.23BB/100 player in 1/2 to 3/6 and over that time I have had several 200Big Bet down swings.

During those swings I SWEAR my play is the same. However, once I step away from the game for a week and either learn a new game or take a vacation or whatever, I see that there is something that has changed.

Winning breeds losing, once you win a few hands by playing badly you start to think that it's correct. Dumb aggression, tricky plays and so forth all of a sudden are not working and you think it's the cards, not YOU!

I just get back to the basics, play ABC poker and it all comes back . . . .sooner or later
