Re: Tell me it\'s going to be ok :)
Miles is doing you a favor by pointing out that you're evaluation of that particular hand is askew. Since you have a lot of experience under your belt and have posted solidly winning results so far, you're obviously not a fish who's bleeding chips all over the table, but raising/reraising that river is basically indefensible and maniacal.
(FWIW, I bet/call. I don't like the check). When you have a really big downswing, usually you had something to do with it. Spend some time wading through PT and replaying some hands and ask yourself if your play has *really* been accurate. When I go through a period of gettting cornholed, I normally find that it's a combination of running bad and more-suboptimal-than-normal play on my part.

Re: Tell me it\'s going to be ok :)
I quote semi-obscure 80s songs in variance posts to get over it.
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Re: Tell me it\'s going to be ok :)
To OP-I'm getting annihilated right now and I know it's 75% running cold. The other 25% is me making dumb bets that have no chance of folding everybody and just bloat the pot. I hate being stupid-aggressive. It happens. Just got to run with it or take Jaran's advice.

I have it on vinyl, but I need to find an mp3 now that I don't have my record player anymore. EDIT: I just read this and I bet most of you don't know what a record player is (even though I'm only 25). [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Tell me it\'s going to be ok :)
Downswings suck especially when you're moving up to a higher limit. You don't know if it's your play, b/c the games are harder, or just variance. I too beat the crap out of 1/2 and have had more limited success at 2/4 and 3/6. Focus on game selection and playing well. You will get through it. Just realize that the donks at 2/4 are the amse as aat 1/2 you just have to adjust to the better players.

Re: Tell me it\'s going to be ok :)
Don't worry about it fly. I have been crushed before. Once lost over $1k in three weeks playing 2/4 & 3/6. Did not have PT then, but I reacted by becoming more determined. I started posting more responses to hand threads.
Just asking: is there a reason you have comparably fewer posts than many others on this board?

[/ QUOTE ] Lol, yeah, I don't chime in with 1 word replies like a lot of people seem to love to do (that and I don't post many hands which I know is bad.) I actually do have a piece of paper in front of me when I play to write down interesting hands to post, but I rarely do it. I'm lazy sometimes (ok, ok, a lot of the time [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )
