I know everyone thinks they run worse than everyone else...this is bad, though. I'm taking a week off...I'm sick...I know my head will be OK in an hour or so, but this is so so so sick. This is at $25NL. The players are terrible there. They are not paying attention. I watch them donk off to super nits and LAG's alike. The last 10k hands, it really feels like a majority of the time when I have a hand preflop, it's folded around....only the extreme bottom of my range is getting called. I c-bet a ton and pick up small pots, but all the big pots have been DISGUSTING. I tilted off 2 buy-ins at the end here after I literally lost it. I can't get away from flopped FH's vs. quads though...I can't decide if that means I suck. I can't get away from flopped set over turned sets. I can't get away from flopped set to rivered quads.

WTF I'm not the best player, but I constantly am looking for my leaks and working on my game. I review my PT data at least 3x/week and try to apply what I find to the games. The 20k hands previous to this graph I was at 8ptbb/100. W T F.

The last line there is

flopped trips with ace kicker vs. flopped fh against a drooler

AA vs. 22 all in on 228 flop against a super lag

set over set

my fh loses to flopped trips rivering an ace


This is like 10-12 buy-ins over 15k hands. Is this possible? I have decided I must be a losing player. I have officially lost all confidence. Wow, just wow.




BTW, I'm playing 18/15/2.5ish low variance my balls.

Someone please console me, give me an e-hug or something.

1. This shows how utterly meaningless 20k hands is, despite what some will tell you. This is shorter than short-term. It is a mere instant in a poker life. You see people on these forums all the time saying they are "beating" a game over 20k hands. Lol. It is a very small sample.

2. Losing 10-12 BI's over 15k hands is totally, totally possible/standard/common. Several posters on this forum who work just as hard on their game as anyone have posted recently about considerably bigger downswings than this. If you can't handle it, then that is a problem.

3. Losing confidence is the No. 1 by-product of this kind of run. But learning how to deal with decimated confidence is as much a part of poker as knowing what to do with ATo UTG. Actually, it's more important.

4. Whether you are a winning or losing player is undecided, as is the case with most of us in uNL. Time will tell, but this current downswing is not the whole answer, only a chapter in the bigger story.

5. Re: the losing hands posted, all standard situations.


Good luck tomorrow.


Edit: I fold ATo UTG
