Thanks. This was the most expensive hand on a bad night for me. That table was loose as hell and I lost left and right.

If losing 4.5BB is the biggest loss on a BAD night for you, I want your luck.

I lost about 25bb that night. I Usually play 2 tables. If I am losing at 1, I am usually winning at the other. That night I was losing at every table I played.

Maybe I am just being paraniod, but after days of posting very small gains (.2bb/100) then a night of -40bb/100 I felt like I was leaking terribly.

I should be crushing these games, right? I am smart, I read SSH. I read it again. I do crush the 10/1 NL tournaments.

Ring has me running like a baby right now. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] I noticed my aggression is dropping, and trying to adjust that may have caused me to start leaking.

Saint,

How many hands are you talking about? I know that it sucks to post such modest gains and then lose big. I've been there too. I play 2 tables as well, and I've had nights of -75BBs. After 10K hands though, I'm proud to say that I've maintained a win rate of 2BB/100. If the statistics that you're talking about are over just a few hundred hands, I'd say shake it off and keep playing. However, if what you're talking about is over several thousand hands, then I suggest posting some statistics and get some feedback. Either way, continue to post hands that you have questions about and get as much feedback as you can.

It'll get better,

Tex

Thanks Tex. It was about a 500 hand downturn. I stopped playing ring and played some 10/1 NL for a while. I am still reviewing the 100 or less hands I played in looking for leaks. Thanks for the input.

At 2900 hands I am +2.23bb/100.

P.S. I was up against A2o. Beat him with my much bigger kicker.

Looks pretty good from here.

Are you really thinking of folding to the river raise? I think that would be really poor.
