Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
So...what is the deal? Is everyone here running bad? EVERYONE I talk to that has been playing a lot this month hasnt been doing too hot, including myself. I had a 10% set of 1000 109s from 10/27-11/9 and since then I have played 200 more and am down $2000. I know my downswing is just tiny, but I could easily see it going on for a while. I am 100% sure I have been unlucky as [censored], but if lots of other "good" people are having problems, maaayybbbeee bad luck isnt the problem. Or...maybe it is.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
If what you say is true (and I'm certainly not accusing you of lying) then that is very impressive indeed. I also suspect that you are running well as up/down swings of 1000 sngs happen but you obviously play good as well. I'd be very curious to hear how your next couple of thousand go.

I can't imagine that either, my record is about 13 or so. I'd be freaking out after 30.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
I used to play a lot of sngs and dealt with this kind of frustrating variance.
I moved to ring games and did bad at first then well later. I occasionally play the 500-2k sngs on party or stars when I feel like it, and the entire tourney is kind of a helpless feeling. I control so much more in a ring game. SNGs are fun and profitable, but if you really want a more mentally soothing poker experience, play NL ring games. They are harder, but more rewarding. You will get better at SNGs too, especially level 1 and level 2 play. You will also feel in control. At the 5-10 and 10-20 levels I've had only a few 10-15 buy in drops. There is also no thrill like winning a huge pot, or just being in a huge pot. It's nice winning a tourney, but when you grind out SNGs the thrill of winning just isnt there because the game becomes so mechanical. -Jason

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
The other thing to realize is that everyone plays worse when they run worse. People also play bad when they run really good too. I think people are sharpest when they are enjoying moderate success, so try to keep your mental state in the one you are in when you are your sharpest.
