Default Is this standard? **GRAPH**

Simply put, I'm starting to lose faith in my game. I play poker recreationally, maybe 5-10 hrs per week. So a 20k breakeven stretch isn't something easy to swallow.

I've analyzed my play and I feel that I'm playing well (not great due to the occasional tilt session.)Since the breakeven stretch started I've tried everything...losening up, didn't work. Tightening up, didn't work. It seems that I just cannot gain any ground.

I was wondering if you guys could look at my stats to see if there is anything that sticks out. This is all Poker Stars NL50.

Thanks for the help. This breakeven stretch might seem like nothing to some of you, but it has me thinking about quitting the game. It seems that ever since we got Fristed, the NL50 players have tightened up incredibly. It used to be "flop a set, stack some dude" not like that anymore. I feel that I maybe stack someone when I have a set about 5% of the time.

Very frustrating.

There are not enough details of your game to tell much; other than (I think) you are 20/6 preflop. You can, of course, win big like this, but most 2+2 FRers play nearer 17/9 AFAIK.

As for 20k break even stretches - good players can have losing stretches over more hands than this. Just be glad you don't play limit!

What other details would you need? Not sure what 17/9 AFAIK means. Is it saw flop/pfr?

20 saw flop ~ 19 vpip since you'll sometimes see the flop in your blind without voluntarily putting $ in the pot.
