I need some feedback
I am not sure why but for some strange reason when playing sng's I am either on fire or stinking up the joint. I dont seem to have an "average" day. It seems my ROI is either -5% - 8% or it's like 35%- who knows what.. Why cant I have some 20% days? maybe some 25% days? Anyone else go through this? I cant for the life of me figure out why this happens.
Ok.. I know you are all going to type "Variance" and I realize this but it just seems really weird. |

Re: I need some feedback
Make sure you are not playing differently when you are running hot/cold. Its easy to get a "if I could at least get a 3rd in his I'd be happy" kind of attitude during a losing streak. It is also easier to be more aggressive/reckless when running good.

I admit I do tilt and this is probably the hardest thing I have to overcome but I have been making progress as I am not jumping around to make my losses back which I used to do a lot in my early days playing. Daily results also still matter to me unfortunatly and I am trying to wipe that out also. I am having a real hard time with that 1 as I hate to see my money go to morons but I know that these morons are also giving me a decent living. Back to the original topic today I ran HOT again as I played 40 tournaments and made $516 8 tabling with my new Dual 2001FP's (omg I have a hard on looking playing with these. They are incredible) Now dont get me wrong I love these hot days but I hate the cold 1's. The hot 1's seem to be incredible and the cold 1's are just horrible. Never any average days. But you are right I do try and do too much when I am running bad but when I am running well I am playing some good damn poker. |

Re: I need some feedback
Yeah, it's very tough, but you will become better if you can avoid analyzing your bankroll or your ROI from day to day, just post inidividual hands to make sure you played it right & take a break after a few tough suckouts. Easier said than done, but when I can avoid thinking about these things, it helps you have a clear head and a better game.

Re: I need some feedback
it it easier said than done for sure. Like I said my game is not perfect but I know it is a winning game as long as I can stay away from the tilting. I have made lots of money just in the 20's and I have the bankroll to play the 109's if I wanted to but I need to get this very crucial leak solved before I move up.

Re: I need some feedback
I am +2 buyins over the last three days. I am pretty happy being up since I haven't won even close to my fair share of coinflips. Normally when I am this unlucky I experience quite a drop.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm in almost exactly the same spot. Lots of big hands not holding up coupled with not getting the suckouts. But after an ok night tonight, I'm down only 4 buy-ins since last Friday, so it could be a lot worse. |

Re: I need some feedback

Its only posted cause of the rediculous railbird fiasco. |
