Default Re: Getting desperate for help

Hi, David. I note not once in my game, that after facing several downstreaks i start to play tighter then usual and my results become even worse. I start cold-calling instead 3-betting, and folding instead raising. How this happens?

When you're on downstreak - your opponents are quite lucky and it seems they always have better hand than you. You start to trust them more then they deserve. And folding many winners before SD. Please examine your game earlier and if it was more loose-aggressive - try to change yourself to this style again.

I hadn't faced such long downstreaks in my career, though after every 250BB's downstreak i re-consider my play and force myself to make many marginal raises and marginal call downs. And it works and i always become surprised - wtf i used to trust these liars before. This cycle happens to me 3 times in a last year and i think it will happen again.
