I've played with you a few times when you've been on what seemed like pretty crazy monkeytilt (calling two cold with 87o in the BB). Do you tilt a lot?

But I don't want to clog this forum up by offering any useful comments. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i think my 5-2 record speaks for itself :P

i've already made my excuses for that match with tolbiny, so i won't do it again, but do remember that i pwned the crap out of him when it counted.

Thought I was the only one...
click to enlarge. 6max has variance for sure.
There's about 50BB of bad calls/tilt, otherwise it was just getting rivered like crazy. I was 24/16/1.6, mostly 5-6 handed 2/4-5/10 6 max.

wow bro, I hope it turns around. It may be time to re-evaluate your "always go to SD" style. I am no expert at these limits by any means, but 46%WTSD 5handed just can't be optimal.

I'm having the worst week and a half of my life. I dropped ~12k in 15k hands since Thxgiving day when I was at an all-time high, and b/c of funding issues i've only got 1.5k on party left b/c what's left of my roll is tied up in neteller, so I don't even have enough to 4table 10/20 to get back on track until mon/tuesday. I've been wallowing in self-pity, why can't i just run good this one time when I move up?! But seeing this puts things in perspective. Holy crap I am going to really need to build a roll if I want to play 30/60+.

Yeah, I'm going to STFU after seeing this too. I can't compete with that downswing.

Eh, I dunno dude. I was playing 3-handed for a while with you and another LAG and you were playing pretty donkily. This was a while ago though.

not saying i wasn't playing bad, but that particular hand would have been a misclick for sure. i was probably already clicking call after the first raise and didn't react in time to the 3-bet. not that it's much of an excuse, but i make dumb mistakes like that sometimes.

the hands are almost all somewhere between 2-5 handed, so it's not necessarily a LAG problem, though its possible that i'd do better if i tightened up a bit.

I won't presume to comment on the proper stats for 3-handed play. Are you playing 3-handed frequently because those are the games that happen to be available at higher levels? With such a downswing, probably the first thing I'd do would be to stick to 6 player tables (or drop down).
