I am break even after 9k hands this month after going +7k / -7k. Something is bad. I can't sustain some good momentum for some time now. I suspect I am floating between TAG and LAG and it is turning into NIT. Anyone see me play like dodo w/ some worthwhile critique - let me know!

9k hands??

i really feel like lots of players have never experienced a "true" downswing/break-even stretch.

[trplthrt]

I am not sweating the downswing.. believe me, I know what a true one is. But for someone with a day job, 20-30k hands a month is a lot. The fact that I expect after 9k hands to be + and know the way I have come down from early profits this month, I think it is more than just variance which is what I am eluding to.

Overall, I am actually break-even last 60k hands. How's that suit you?

[Go_Blue88]

ha that's pretty brutal. my longest is like 55k hands n it made me really really really hate poker.

n ya i guess that's a good pt... fer me, i sometimes play 20k hands in a week...so 9k hands just seemed pretty standard.

[trplthrt]

Over the 60k b/e there was a +30/-30 in there. Yeah, that makes me hate poker. Especially since I ran brutal stepping up games periodically. Anyway.. there is improvement to be had.

[tcorbin16]

yea this pretty much makes me sick...

Whatever finished up 9k on day but that was [censored] retarded. i run sooooooo bad coulda been so much more. Also the last QQ hand was debateable but this guy is pretty [censored] aggro and has done it with like 88 before. sooo yeah.

[trplthrt]

tc, why the flat call on the turn w/ 67? Don't think I like that much.

[TheWorstPlayer]

wow hand 1 sick. you played these all fine, assuming you were c/r'ing the turn in hand 2.

[RunyonAve]

tc, i just threw up a lil in my mouth on that 67 hand. sick.
