My worst month yet :( -12 BIs

Artsemis · #1 04-30-2007, 10:58 PM

I believe this is my first post in this forum (brag, because I don't brag about brags).

I only played NL25 (had to make a big withdrawal from poker acct. after finishing college and moving to my own place). Of course this is the time I decide to have my worst downswing ever.

(yes, my stats are top secret.)

20 BIs is supposed to be the accepted amount to cover the worst downswing right? 12 down, 8 more to go!

Someone who is generally a winner that lost more than 12 BI this month, please reply before I kill a kitten.

BBV-style flaming aside, I really did review my PT and I've just lost so much with big AI PF hands like my AA vs. (insert 22-88), my AK vs. (insert AQ-A4), etc. Of course everyone can always improve and I have lots of room for it, but this month has just been full of suckouts. Nothing out of the ordinary in any individual one, but there were countless many of them.

Off to break something.

Your sample isn't even 8k hands. People (winners) have broken even over 40k hands.

12 buyins is nothing.

This is 25NL. I am really bad at poker. Like really bad. But dropping 12 buy ins is ridiculous.

Please, tell me where I said I was upset about the money.

I know it is and that's why I'm posting. It's weird how everyone is so quick to say "it means you suck", yet I could easily select about a dozen AI PF hands which have a summed EV that would make the difference for this month -- and that's just out of the PF AI hands.

If I constantly get money in good it's up to the RNG after that. Nothing stops it from giving it to the underdog multiple times in a row... probably moreso given my sample size.
