Default Re: Dealing with a 20 buyin downswing

I ran bad for about 12000 hands.

The beats were hideous, unbelievable, the worst ever suffered by man.

I had laughed previously at people bemoaning such a poor run of luck. But there I was suddenly realising it was not only possible but probable.

It just kept going on and on, I could do nothing about it.

Then I tried something, it was desperate by then afterall.

I looked at the last 30,000 hands I played, to see what a winning play looked like and what a losing play looked like.

Thank god I did, coz those "bad beats" were certainly enhanced by increasingly bad play.

Stop blaming the cards and start blaming yourself, your bankroll will love you for it.
