bad week... and my bankroll is very affected

[luifer611]

Well, im a regular 25nl and recently 50nl hold em in bodog.com I im starting to build up my bankroll since September 1. In the first 12 days i made a profit of $50 - $60, and in total I made $620. But since Wednesday of the last week i have been through a very bad days. Most cases bad run of cards. For example i lost a 100$ pot against AJ and I was having AK, and he hit his J on the river. And I have many cases like that,since then I have been playing without confidence. And my bankroll is now at $330. And I don't know what to do, because i have change my strategy but my results haven't improve. What do you recommend me to do?

I think u just suck, u should try volleyball or sinchronized swim or maybe zoo keeper

lol that hand's not nearly as bad as a lot of others. for example, i hit my JJ set and he hits his 88 set we both go all in on flop, he hits quads on the river. or AA vs AKs AI preflop, he spikes a KKx flop. nuts flush all in flop, he hits runner to runner straight flush with one flush card. and i'm sure I haven't had as bad beats as a lot of people on this forum, although I've had this share. Just keep playing, (although I would take a few days or a week off) drop down blinds if you're not rolled, and just know that in a month you'll be way past where you started before your downswing if you stay with it.

yes i know but if i go down to 10 max im got busted easily, i just not get used to those blinds. I have tried that, and wasn't successful.

Well definetely move down on the stakes ur playing. NL 25 at the most.
I think 620 is barely enough for NL 50, but I would reccommend moving with at least 1000.
Just take a break of the game and come back in a couple of days. I just had a terrible downswing, and went out for 5 days and it helped in a huge way.
Hope this might help a little. Good luck and keep it up.

Post hands, we have no idea if hands you are playing are good or not.

If you are really dedicated, make a video and pay one of the 50NL regulars or a SSNL player to watch it & comment on it.

Also, AK vs AJ hand sounds fishy. Unless you both hit a pair and he hit J on river. Even then, sounds like a weak hand to put in 200BBs with. Post hands.

I'm 50NL regular. ~5PTBB/100 hands over my last 100,000 hands. I'll do it for $39 per hour (that's a limited time offer and I think a very good one). PM me.

I left in the post hands comments cause that's very good advice.


Edit: That's $39 per hour I spend doing it. Obviously it will take me longer than an hour if the video is an hour long cause I have to watch the full hour and make the comments. Also 4 table maximum. For $45 an hour play as many tables as you want.

thanks for the advices. Today I play a bit more, and I lost $40 in a few hands, the most remarkably hand was that I had aces a donk had AdQs. We both go all in and the board brought 5 diamonds. Bad beats like that one i had suffered throughout this week. Im down to my last $300, I lost more than half of my bankroll, I should go back to 10nl or what?

$300 isn't a big enough bankroll to play 25NL IMO.
