Default In desperate need of someone to review my play for my last 16k hands

Long story short: I was a significant winner at 3/6 full for 100k hands. I was a significant winner at 5/10 full for 50k hands. I was a significant winner at 5/10 short for 140k hands. I was a significant winner at 10/20 short for 60k hands. All of this 4-tabling.

Then I lost it. Something happened and I have been unable to win at poker. Ran terrible at 10/20. Dropped down. Ran terrible at 5/10. I took a month off and came back. Still couldn't win. Finally said ok I'll play less tables (this is a very hard thing to do when you are looking at halving your hourly rate). 2 tabled 5/10 for my last 16k hands to the tune of +$79.63 (sample size to small yadda yadda yadda - there were a lot more losing hands before those). There must be something seriously wrong here and a couple hand posts aren't gonna fix it. PM me or respond here. I can pay but given the current state of my roll I won't be able to afford anyone's hourly rate for the job. Thanks

You broke even over 16K hands. Big deal.

This sounds a lot like me, but i never played the full games. 100k at 3/6 winner, 75k at 5/10 winner, 50k at 10/20 winner, then i lost for the next 30k hands. Took time off, actually still taking time off. Id love to take a look at your hands though, id trade, but my hd went bad, so i dont have a dbase anymore.

By 'significant winner' in my original post i meant ~2+/100 (varying by limit).

My last 86,900 hands are at .25/100.

I have lost all ability to objectively review my play.

You don't wanna help - dont respond. If your reading comprehension skills were up, you would notice that I am talking about a lot more than 16k hands.

Sorry to hear about this stretch balkii. As I've mentioned before I was 2+ for 190k hands then went on a breakeven stretch of 70k hands. Luckily my ship has since righted itself. As for suggestions...playing at different sites was a big help for me. A change of scenery and not seeing the same faces every day made things fresh again which I think helped.

The only thing I can really say is that you're a proven winner and things will turn at some point. If you have any other ideas, thoughts, etc. feel free to PM me and run it by someone who has been there.

Good luck,

i'm not playing poker until december so i can finish my last semester of school strong. i've been studying alot - both academics and poker. that said, i'm up for the challenge. i think i would learn alot too. fwiw i've been a 2.5+ guy at 5/10 for around 150k hands so i'm pretty sure i know what i'm doing in that game.

if you figure out the easiest way for me to view them let me know and we'll get started.

i'm not sure how to send a large chunk of hand histories through email, but if you know of a way, i would like to trade hand histories with you.

i am a 100k hand winner in 5/10, and i'm stepping up to 10/20 recently (and had taken some shots before) and getting crushed.

also if anyone would like to help me beat 10/20, with some tips or general coaching, it'd be appreciated.

80k breakeven streaks just blow my mind; kind of daunting that the long run is that long...
