9 bb's per hr and worried

[Net Warrior]

I play 10-20 10 handed on line at Pokerroom, and when that game is not going I'll play 5-10 while I'm waiting. Over the past 850 hands I'm winning 9bb's/hr. I know this can't last and the wheels have got to fall off at some point. I worry every time I sit down now wondering if this is the time.
Any thought/comments are welcome.

LOL, I guess I just have to play through this winning streak. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Seriously, I'm almost never anxious when I sit down to play and worrying now is bothersome. BTW, I've been playing over 5 yrs and I'm well ahead.

850 hands is so little that it's not even worth discussing. Any result over that amount of hands is beyond meaningless.

i'm sure losing 10000 or so bb over that span would be somewhat meaningful

I think that the OP realizes this. Rather, he is concerned with:

I went on winning streaks and I thought that I couldn't lose.

the simple fact that you know you've been averaging 9BB's per hour over your last 895 hands online shows that you're concentrating way too much on short term results. Doing this is what will make you anxious and emotional at the table. Stop playing for the short term results and start concentrating making the correct decisions.

This doersn't mean you are destined for a huge downswing
in the near future.

Don't forget it's also possible to have a couple of sessions where you are making only .5-1 BB per Hour or even breaking even which will lower you winrate to be more in line with what your true BB per hour should be

That game is just not that good, so you'll probably drop back to reality soon, but if you're a consistent winner over 5 years... enjoy the ride!

I was going through the same thing just a couple days ago. Now I'm down 100BB+ and not worried anymore. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
