plea for help (l/c...lock this)

Try changing your avatar.

Sorry if it seems like a stupid suggestion, but sometimes a small, symbolic gesture can be the catalyst for a shift in thinking and feeling that turns things around.

I'm rooting for you.

You serious? Can you post a PT stats post. I think this would be comforting to everyone on swings and i'm very curious to see it!

What stakes mate?

i might post them sometime but bottom line is i have respectable wins at 5/10 6max and total slaughterhouse at 10/20 and 15/30...my bb/100 is >1 over that stretch

the ol slumpbuster, great move

woah. I just realized that this whole time I was confusing you with MicroBob and thus secretly taking delight in your poker struggles. Upon closer inspection, send me a block of hands and I'll review them for you.

This happened to me when I first started taking shots at 10/20. Every few days i'd drop down to 5/10 and have an absolutely killer session, like +60BB in 1500 hands, then the bleeding would continue at 10/20. What resulted was a ridiculously sharp upswing over like 7k hands at 5/10, while if you filter for 10/20 only you get 14k hands, -400BB. That type of stuff can really mess with your head.

gl Bob, you can do it.

As an honest question, how much does tilt, MUBS, etc get to you? I agree with MC that it may be time to get a new avatar, maybe a photoshopped pokerpatterns graph of an absurdly large upswing, cartoon-arrow style.

I think PBob is a better player than me so I don't think this is really 1-upping him...but I'm now down 645BB's in my last 44k hands.


I think it's something to do with the whole 'Bob' thing.


Sooner or later Bob and I will get it together again and everyone else should watch the hell out!! but for now...we're easy money.


I too find it hard to believe that Bob is actually playing a losing game.
He might be making some weak-tigher decisions due to the losing streak...but not so much so that he's playing a losing game.

I get on a table with almost all 45/10's...and lose, lose, lose!!!
I'm thinking that, unfortunately, it just goes that way sometimes.

the destruction to one's confidence is a huge factor too imo.


Some other suggestions that were given to me:
- Play some B&M low-limit just to slow-down, relax, think about the hands a little bit, change perspective.
- Play some low buy-in tourneys for less pressure, more fun, less fear of losing another 50BB's YET AGAIN. etc etc.


I think PBob is clearly doing everything he can to ask Q's and correct his flaws.

surfbullet you are usually spot on, but this is a bit condescending.
