Default Losing when you are the overwhelming favorite.

I have been losing now for the past 3 weeks like I have never before. I have been playing Hold em now for 4 years and have always made money. Now I am in the midst of my worst losing streak ever and it's all coming on the river where I'm an overwhelming favorite. I guess I just need some therapy. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

My question is...do you just keep playing through these times or do you take a break?

Everyone on the forum understands your anguish. Assuming you're making correct plays over this period, what you are experiencing is a normal fluctuation from the chance element of the game. Focus on your performance (quality of play), not short-term results. Good luck.
