<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="red">CO raises to t1715 (All-in)</font>, Button calls t545 (All-in), <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero ???</font>


No reads. This hand may be a super easy call or fold and I don't know anymore. I have been running so bad lately and it has begun to really affect my play. Tonight I played roughly 30 sngs and I can recall several beats laid on me that ended my tourney right on the bubble. I find myself almost making bad calls because my opponents make them and catch vs me. I crushed the 60s over 700 games last month. Now I am breakeven at best over the last 600. It feels like everytime I get some momentum going in a session a series of beats just drops me back down. BLAHHHH

Samson,

You are most likely the person I admire most on these forums, for you accomplishments on the table and off. I am sorry you are running bad, but I have no doubt you will bounce back asap.


I call fwiw.

No reads.

Here is the problem. At 200/400 you have to have some read or you're playing too many tables. I believe that change is more relevant to your bad run that anything else.

Not that I'm complaining, btw.

I generally have good reads even 9 tabling. I am able to watch all the action and it only gets hectic if 4 tables hit the bubble at once. I say no reads which means they haven't gotten out of line. I make a ton of notes even with all the tables. I had PA running and I believe CO had a vpip of 25. Other than that they were not regulars which basically means we can assume they are awful. I 9 tabled last month and have never beaten the game for a higher %. This month my ITM is a % or 2 lower but my 3rd places are killing me. I have been reviewing lots of games after my sessions and all I can find is bad luck. I am confident it'll turn, just takes time. If you do notice something I'm sure you'll tell me though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I thought you didn't start 9 tabling until the software upgrade which was July 3rd or 4th. SS shows you in the red since then, but if you were 9 tabling before that with the beta, my bad. I'm sure you'll dominate again sooner rather than later anyway.

Oh, and I'd fold the A9 with 7 left.
