How do you handle bad swings....
I have played poker for 5 years. Up until May of this year it was just for fun once in a while. Once May came around I started heading down to Atlantic City each weekend. Every weekend it seemed like I was making hundreds at the 1-2 game. I had won a few tournaments as well.
Fast forward to this past July. I entered the nightly 100K on Pokerstars and got first for around 28K. This was the bankroll boost that I needed. Since then I moved up in games. I won a few more thousand playing 2-5, 5-10, even some 10-20. I was pushing a 45K roll this past Sunday. Then all hell broke lose. I sat in 10-20 Monday and in 2 hours I lost 6 thousand dollars. 3 of them all in preflop with AA againt 99. Obviously, this happens and it didn't piss me off that much, but then something happened, I kept losing. I was playing scared money, and we all know scared = dead. Yesterday I deposited 2k and played some 5-10. I went up a quick 1100 in my morning session. That night I got greedy again and played some 10-20. I ended up going broke in a timespan of an hour. I was sick. I had just lost 8K in 2 days. Last night my friend staked me to play in the nightly hundred K. I finished in the money for a $200 dollar net win. Nothing special. The thing that sucks is that I lost another race with a PP against AQ. I just deposited 500 into my account. I'm going to move back down to 3-6 and get my game back. I've never had a bad swing like this, and need some advice on how to handle it psychologically. Thanks guys.

Re: How do you handle bad swings....
suicide usually
edit: after reading the post i would say that your simply just running bad. Stay in your bankroll and you will be fine. or you could be cool and take a shot, but your not interested. i usually stick to about 15 BI for each level. GL

Re: How do you handle bad swings....
I played under my buddies name cause I had no cash on my online account, its all in my bank accnt. Deposited more this morning
Sit down 5/10 with 600, work my way up to 1600 Instead of getting up and leaving happy I play one more hand. J10 BB. UTG raises 50, I call. Flop QJ10 70 bet, I reraise 170. Turn is my cold card J. He bets 300, I push, he calls with QQ. Sad Sad. Week off now, wheres the [censored] rope.

You freakin' degenerate, just be glad you've been able to make some money with Poker and quit this game for good before you lose it all.
