11 BB Downswing? Post it in here! (Designated No Content Thread)

[VoraciousReader]

In my defense, Villain had been bluff-raising (pre and post flop) a lot. But mostly I had been card dead, and taken a bad beat a couple of hands ago, and felt like playing like an idiot.

I guess it is better to be lucky than good. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I am either on the coldest run possible, my opponents can actually see my cards when playing me, or I am just a horrible horrible player

Absolutely terrible

[jaxUp]

Yeah, wile the BBs lost isn't that much, the longevity of the downswing is brutal. I am going through something similar (but my red line goes a much lower than yours)

[kiemo]

Becuase Jax brought up longevity, I probably shouldve noted this in the original post.

This is a little over 2 months of play for me. 2 of the most painful, frustrating months of my 2 year poker career!

Last night I went over to fathers house so he could watch me play a little and see if I am just fundamentally doing something wrong. Got on a table with a maniac, which 99% of the time means a losing session for me for some reason. I get junk cards and watch huge pot after huge pot (avg pot was 9BB) get dragged at the table. My father (who is a weak-tight MUB player, so hes not really the best person for advice) tells me to just leave the table becuase he says "You are just going to sit out every hand until you get a big one and then the maniac is going to suck you out and you are going to get pissed".

Finally I get dealt red AA in the SB. Maniac in MP1 open raises like he almost always does. 2 callers. I 3-bet. Maniac of course caps. Flop is J63 w/2 clubs. I bet, maniac raises. 1 fold,1 caller and my dad now says "Just fold now he is going to beat you". I give my father a wierd look and 3-bet. Maniac calls. Button calls. Turn is J. My dad says "There's his other Jack, dont bet". I bet. Maniac calls, button calls. River is nothing. I bet, Maniac raises, Button folds, I call - Maniac has QJo and drags the 18BB pot. My dad gets the I told you so look and I am dealt AQs on button. Maniac wins that hand also when I miss my 4th flush of the evening.

I fold the circuit and quit, once again adding to the evidence that playing with a maniac on the table equals a huge losing session for me, pissed off as my father predicted not more then 15 minutes earlier.

And that story sums up the last two months in a nutshell!

[UATrewqaz]

See my NC post on a few pages ago, the one where I hit the rush.

I was seriously considering giving up poker (seriously, but not for bonuses/fun) during the downswing.

When you cap preflop with KK and build a huge multiway pot and a guy with Q4o who cold called 3 bets preflop catches runner runner 4's to win the pot you just think "Why bother? What's the point? etc."

Variance is a biatch.

I know, fold preflop.

Why do donks always make their hands on the river when I'm in 19bb pots with them?
