Re: Losing streaks
Is it possible that an OTM run of 20+ games variance is only a (minor) contributor to the situation?
At the $6.50's my longest OTM streak is around 21, at the $16's it is 7. I've play about 20% more games at the $16's than the $6.50. When a losing streak starts in the $6.50's I've pushed onward possibly even adding tables. I've never really taken the time to get in tune with why "I'm running bad." With the $16's I've taken more time to reflect, taken small breaks, drop tables and got back on track quicker.
However I'm really a low volume/recreational player so user mileage may vary for the rest of you. My main point is that if you are in the middle of a bad run it most likely is adding a cloud or two to your though process. Possibly a small break, even to get a cup of coffee and chill for 15 to 20 minutes would shorten the length of these downswings.
