I lost 78% of the SNGs I played today.
 

And I only won 2. Usually I'm ITM about 40% of the time. Today it was 22%. I've never lost so many times in one day. It's not even the money, I cleared part of my bonus so I ended up down only 15$ from my deposit. (I'm small time.) It's the losing, losing, losing.. 7 times in a row for one stretch.

It started with horrible beats and suckouts, then I played bad. I know I lost a few of them from playing bad. And I can't just walk away. I have to play until I win, or at least make it to second. (6 seat sngs)

I finally started playing at FT where I show up on sharkscope now and I'm obsessed with my little graph. It looks very, very bad. I feel physically ill. Normal? Nuts?

Good job

Re: I lost 78% of the SNGs I played today.
 

Very very standard, I ran at 47% ITM at Party poker for over a year, and still had several stretches of 15+ loses in a row.

I don't know. It felt like every one. Then the 50/50s started feeling like bad beats too, because I could NOT catch a break.

Thanks everyone for the commiserating.

wehn I lose 4 or 5 70/30's in a row I start thinking how that must be like .3*.3*.3*.3 or like 1% and I'm like man, this can't keep happening! especially when you most always get your money in 2:1 fav about (talking satellites, not sng).

Re: I lost 78% of the SNGs I played today.
 

whenever things start going bad and you cant get itm but dont want to stop playing just switch to the omaha turbos or nlhe hu-both of these are at all the micro levels. If you dont play the first 15 hands in an omaha turbo, it might already be down to the bubble,serioously

His Little Green Book was the first poker book I ever bought. I like him, that's why I looked him up.

Anyway, it's the same sample size. It made me smile.

I win 75% of my sit and go omaha hilo, try that. Anyone who says sit and goes aint poker is a fool. How are you gonna work on your short game strategy, if you ever luck into a final table? Dan87 gave me great advice about sit and goes, play tight early and push those freaks all in later. 2+2 has a book about sit and go hold-em. Who will write a book about omaha hilo sit and goes for me?

Re: I lost 78% of the SNGs I played today.
 

You stink!

Re: I lost 78% of the SNGs I played today.
 

i thought this was going to be a witty brag title where you came 1st in 22% of your SNGs and placed in a ton of the others too. sadly no.
