i think that if people didnt know that very long bad streaks were possible, they would be much better players. bad streaks are the best time to really take a look at your game and improve it. i was hoping that when you make your 600bb downstreak post you would try to plus some of the obvious holes in your 15/30 game, but was saddened when your conclusion was that you were just running very badly

Wow, those are just awful. Usually I see this type of play from tilting micro limit players.

La Brujita · #5 04-01-2005, 05:25 PM

Is the second hand that bad against a 90% vpip player who bets and raises any or no hand? Against that player I possibly/probably play it the same, but only against that player.

No idea if it was that player he was up against, just speculating.

Jeff W · #6 04-01-2005, 07:12 PM

Sure, I just think it's much more likely that he was tilting.

I'm going to heed my own statement and give some actually practical advice instead of just speculating about the reasons. There is nothing new in the following, but good advice is good no matter how often it get said:

- Take a week of from poker. Don't play poker, don't read poker, don't think poker. Play with your kids or invent a new form of penecilin.
- Drop down in limits. Don't even think of recouperating your losses, just focus on getting your game straight.
- Post hands and focus on your ring game for a while. Tourneys will still be there once you get back on your feet.
- Play shorter sessions and fewer tables. It's important that you don't fall into automode; this is when we fall back to loosing patterns.
- Stop analyzing what went wrong over the last couple of months. Focus on the future, the next hand. We tend to get into 2nd guessing ourselves when running bad.

Thanks, I'm working to much to post a lot, but I do pop in from time to time.

After 800 BB I would just quit. Seriously.
