Re: What to do when running horrible
[ QUOTE ]
ya, been happening to me for a week now and over 300 sng's. I think just reviewing your play and reading here will get you through it. Nothing you can do when you get all in with AA vs 22 and they flop a set. Just drop some tables if you need to and make sure you're playing your own game and not timid due to your recent cold decking. [/ QUOTE ] This is good advice. I think Stars has flipped on their doom switch for a while so that the fish win a little and don't leave. Lately the only hands I am winning are the hands I am behind... They'll turn it off soon...

In all seriousness, downswings happen. It's 100% true when they tell you that you will eventually run worse than you ever thought. It happens to everyone. Don't let it get your confidence down. There was a recent post by MikeMcQ1 that turned into a downswing discussion. If I remember correctly it was titled "Tiltless is worried." Try using the search function and look over the replies in that post and the links posted in it. GL, -Hub |

Re: What to do when running horrible
when running bad just move down to a game you know you can crush and crush it. rebuild the money that you lost and then return to higher game. why is that hard?

Re: What to do when running horrible
I had 15% roi over 1700 hands at the $16`s, but now after 2,2k hands I have 4%..sigh
result after this downswing: -$800 I`m not losing right now but here is a hand I played on the bubble a few hours ago: PokerStars Game #xxxxxx: Tournament #xxxxxx, $15+$1 Hold'em No Limit - Level VIII (200/400) - 2007/05/22 - 12:12:56 (ET) Table 'xxxxxx 1' 9-max Seat #1 is the button Seat 1: player 2 (2965 in chips) Seat 5: hero (5553 in chips) Seat 6: donk (2655 in chips) Seat 8: player 1 (2327 in chips) player 2: posts the ante 25 hero: posts the ante 25 donk: posts the ante 25 player 1: posts the ante 25 hero: posts small blind 200 donk: posts big blind 400 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to hero [3c 6h] player1: folds player2: folds hero: raises 5128 to 5528 and is all-in donk: calls 2230 and is all-in *** FLOP *** [5c Qh Kh] *** TURN *** [5c Qh Kh] [Ac] *** RIVER *** [5c Qh Kh Ac] [Th] *** SHOW DOWN *** hero: shows [3c 6h] (high card Ace) donk: shows [Kc 4h] (a pair of Kings) donk collected 5360 from pot *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 5360 | Rake 0 Board [5c Qh Kh Ac Th] Seat 1: player 2 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 5: hero (small blind) showed [3c 6h] and lost with high card Ace Seat 6: donk (big blind) showed [Kc 4h] and won (5360) with a pair of Kings Seat 8: player 1 folded before Flop (didn't bet) I had him on a tight range, so the push was profitable.. the conversation after this hand: donk: I read u hero: bad call donk: good call hero: no, not profitable donk: I won hero: omg A few hands, I had AQ and 3,1k in the SB.. hero: u call now? donk: i have read u (folds) hero: donkey donk: I`m pro hero: sure in the next hands he folded when the shorty pushed 1k on the BTN..blinds 200/400..LOL got 4th as normal |

Re: What to do when running horrible
I'm runnning bad as well. If it doesn't bother you, review your play and make sure you're not playing bad. If you're not playing bad, don't change a thing and keep playing. If it is bothering you, take some time off or move down. The worst thing that can happen is you become more timid and start playing bad.
I decided to take 1-2 weeks off. Heres my last 2 weeks in a nutshell: PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) BB ($35.85) UTG ($22.20) MP ($27.05) CO ($39.55) Button ($27.40) Hero ($41.40) Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $2.25</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $41.4</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $25.15 (All-In). Flop: ($69.05) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Turn: ($69.05) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> River: ($69.05) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Final Pot: $69.05 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> Hero has As Ac (one pair, aces). Button has Jc Kc (two pair, kings and jacks). Outcome: Button wins $55.05. Hero wins $14. </font> |
