Default ridiculous downswing and I\'m about to go work at starbucks...

Been winning since I started playing tourneys in February, multitabling limit ring since June. Haven't won since mid-november... and I feel about 0 confidence in my abilities now. I have extremely good emotional control and even during my 150BB losing session today i didn't have any outbursts. However, I stopped playing because I just didn't have any faith in knowing what to do anymore... the percentages of my good starting hands that were behind by showdown was so high that I just couldn't trust my acquired knowledge of when to see the showdown anymore, I mutterered to myself, "I just don't know what to do anymore," and closed all the windows.

over 16k hands, I know the EVs of my top hands are completely incorrect. You don't see AKo on that list because it's at -0.08 BB/Hand over 142 occurances.


All my hands.


Today's session (6max)

Shut up, I've been running bad so I got a job at Pottery Barn. It's a noble profession.

looks like you have been running good since mid-November. 150 BB downswing is nothing. get used to variance my friend.

Why is your VPIP so drastically different at all the levels?

I don't think they really are all that different. It's higher at 3/6 6-max because, well, it's 6-max. The rest seem to be around 13-17% except for 1/2, but there he only has like 60 hands.

Talk to me in 80k hands. I have had to fade a 50BB+ downswing every day for the last two months.
