What to do when things aren\'t going right?
 

I just stepped up levels and things are not going good. It is like attack of the 3 outers. To make matters worse I can't convert my 2nds into 1st when heads up.

I've played 65 at the new level with a -14% ROI. I woulda stepped back a level but I feel I am playing righ the results are just not showing.

Shoulda I hit 100 and reevaluated?

Here is what it looks like so far -

Finish %
1st 4.7%
2nd 18.8%
3rd 10.9%
4th 15.6%
5th 26.6%
6th 15.6%
7th 6.3%
8th 0.0%
9th 1.6%
10th 0.0%

you should play more than 100...have you ever read a post before on this forum?

Post all your hands where SNGPT agrees with your action, just to make sure you are right.

Smoke a blunt, get some head, pwn it up

Re: What to do when things aren\'t going right?
 

YES.

I just have never started a level and ran this bad from the get go.

Just frustrating making it to the bubble and getting squashed by 3 outers.

Please, no. I was joking. Seriously, anything less than 500 is totally meaningless. See the FAQ.

Re: What to do when things aren\'t going right?
 

Would it be a good idea to just start pushing everything HU. I would think I would get more first then 5% b/c my seconds are dominating ITM.

Without reading what the others have posted, the only thing you can do is play the best you can and deal with it. Pining over your recent misfortune isn't going to bring your losses back.

Or maybe you ended up losing big hands at the wrong time such as me. I've been on a slide the last 12 games or more in the $1.75s and $3.40s that I play on Stars and that slide has been attributed to my big hands getting cracked.

A A cracked 4 times (most recently today by Q 10o)
Q Q cracked by 6 6 (flopped a set)
set of 9s cracked twice by a turned flush (2s8s) and a rivered straight.

Now, I'm not whining, but when going back to review what went wrong, I just got unlucky and smacked across the face by Father Variance himself. Nothing you can do about it. Maybe you hit a similar patch in your sample where even your powerful hands were rendered helpless.
