What Everyone Needs after a 72 BB Downswing
Just a little background about myself....I started playing online in late July so it's been almost exactly 6 months ago that I started playing. To date I've been extremely lucky and haven't had any huge downswings like 200BB like alot of 2+2ers have been unfortunate to have (I know my time is coming [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] )
About 2-3 weeks ago I was working off the $200 Empire bonus and I had my worst downswing of 72bb (I know alot wouldn't even call this a downswing) but for me it put a little dent into my confidence. I do know that over those hands I was sucked out on by 2-4 outters on the river 2-3 times more than normal. I knew I was playing the hands correctly but just having some bad luck. Anyhow, the last day of clearing the Empire bonus I did have a small win of about 25BB which got a little bit of my confidence back. I've then been busy with work and haven't had a chance to play until Saturday (haven't played in about 2 weeks prior to this). I had 2400 raked hands at Party to play by Wednesday night to receive $300 in bonues. I had family coming to visit on Monday so I knew I better get in a ton of hands on Saturday so I sat down at 3pm and 3 tabled f$0.50/$1 for a little over 9 hours. Being that I hadn't played in about 2 weeks and that I recently had that 72BB downswing I really needed a good run to boost my confidence. Let's just say that I had the best run of cards I've ever seen in the 6 months I've been playing. Even though this 1 day run was only about 1500 hands I needed it. I know the sample size is too small and nothing can be drawn from the stats but I'll take the final results any day of the week. I've included my results for those 1503 hands below. I know that my VPIP was a little low, VPISB was extremely low, and W$@ SD is way too high but again this is a very small sample. I was just so happy that I wanted to post the result so there's not alot of real content here...sorry |
