when it all goes wrong. a poll.
You're very clearly in a downswing. Your QQ is beaten by KK on a rag board, your K high flush loses to the A high, stuff like that. Do you:

Don't change.
Just play your usual game for however long you usually play. It's part of the game and shouldn't affect you. [ QUOTE ] play less, hoping to wait it out [/ QUOTE ] What exactly do you mean? |

Other: Analyze my play. If it is fine, don't worry about it unless I run into bankroll problems.

Re: when it all goes wrong. a poll.
where's the option for "play the same amount because it doesn't matter"?

Re: when it all goes wrong. a poll.
Most experienced posters will tell you that you shouldn't change how much you play just because you are in a downswing. Being in a downswing should not be confused with poor play, though.

[/ QUOTE ] That stuff makes me happy whenever it happens because I know it is just variance, not my bad play. What really gets me angry is when I make a questionable play and/or get confused in a hand. Then I tend to get mad at myself. |

Re: when it all goes wrong. a poll.
Depends on the manner of downswing:
-If it's KK running into AA, my AA running into KK hitting a King, my King-high flush running into a nut flush, I do the ol' Scotty Nguyen "DAT RIMIT, BABEEE!", and move on. -If it's AA getting snapped off by a runner-runner frush with a GrannyMae, or my A high flush with AKs running into a SF by some donk playing 84s to my preflop cap, I put that player on my buddy list, and play more, as I will get it all back, with interest...even as marginal a player as I am. This falls under the heading of "good table selection." |
