Default Re: Always lose money before I start winning during a session. Normal?

[ QUOTE ]
Same thing happens to me and I play limit. I seem to frequently drop 10-20BB right at the beginning of a 4-table sesssion before I start winning.

This is true for me as well, but I can't convince myself that this should be happening. Looking over the past few weeks, I find myself down 10BB or more after 50 hands over 60% of the time. At the same time, I've been up 10BB or more after 50 hands 5% of the time. This seems especialy strange because I have been running very well lately. I've finished significantly up in almost every session over that span so why should my first 50 hands be so different?

I understand the influence of the blinds and needing time to learn your opponents style, but I think there is more to it than that.

I'm going to keep looking at those trouble hands and I'd like to hear from anybody that may have successfully dealt with this issue in the past.
