Default Getting Absolutely Destroyed. Help Please

I've dropped $2271 in the last 5 hours of 10/20 6max play.

To say my confidence is shaken would be an understatement.

Someone please offer to replay my hand histories (I'll email you 2 plain text files) and tell me that I'm either just running bad or that I'm playing bad or that I just plain suck and should go back to full games or something.. tell me something for goodness sake.

PS- Don't worry, tonight I'll sleep like a baby... Sleep an hour, cry an hour, sleep an hour, cry an hour. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Down 180BB at 5/10, 5max, in 3 days. And 5/10 is softer then 10/20.

Won back 110BBs next 2 days.

We will se today.

Say we found a leak. What would that do for you? Even if we found leaks, we'd save you what? 200, 300 dollars? You'd still be stuck 2k.

Even bad players have to be real unlucky to lose 110BB in 5 hours.

Ya but bad players dont make $50 an hour for 8 straight months...

Just forget it, my bad for letting a little emotion come into play. Sheesh.

Should I assume I was just running good for that long?

I wasnt trying to rip on you. I was simply trying to point out that regardless of how perfect your game is, you were still going to lose a lot of money during this run. If you played perfect poker, maybe you'd have only lost 100, 90, or 80BBs, but it'd still be a big downswing.
