down over 70k hands

the biggest downswing i've seen a winning player take is about 18k hands.

That's about 50 hrs. of shorthanded play on four tables. I guarantee you, there are plenty of winning players who have had downswings much longer than that.

You must not know very many winning players then. I'd say half of the players I know have had worse than 18k losing streaks.

18,000 hands is a lot of hands to be down at this level. It can happen - and I'm sure it does - to some winning players, but at the micro-limits, I'd be concerned and definitely recommend dropping your tables in half (minimum!) in order to find where there are problems.

What are you losing with? Why?

While you're at it, reread your books - maybe take a few days / a week off and JUST read and then come back to everything fresh...

Anyway, if you're in the red after 70k hands you have leaks in your game. Sorry.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah i figured a bunch of them out last night...plugged em...it's go time.

[/ QUOTE ]

This seems unbelievable. I find it odd you played 70k hands without noticing you had some leaks and you take some time last night and find them and now it's go time??

Last month I played 38,000 hands. It was ~80% 2/4NL and the rest 3/6NL and 5/10NL. I received $2100 back from RB.

The biggest problem was turning into a robot, so I dropped back down to 4 tables for a little bit & turned the tv off...I still think most of it was the cards though, a cold streak that long is possible.

back on track now...but even though i'm winning again i get way too frustrated at the smallest beat so it's time for a break.

How did you plug the leaks? What methods did you use?

[/ QUOTE ]

-tv off
-cut tables in half
-play 8 hours a day
-read every morning(2+2)

and everytime i noticed a symptom of tilt(ex - not believing people when they raise me, chasing) i wrote it down to help me later when i'm in that stage where i don't know if it's the cards or if it's me, just like a tilt checklist...might just be me but I think things through a lot more clearly when I put it to paper.
