Worse. Session. Ever.

So what's everyones worst session ever? I just played mine on the weekend. 5 hours at juicy live 2/4 game (7 people to flop regardless of whether raised), lost 68.5 BB (crushing my old record of 59 BB in one session). I won 2 hands. I raised preflop 17 times and won 1 of those hands (usually had over 20:1 to make a weak peel to the turn where I would then have to let my hand go). My two fastplayed flopped sets were runner-runnered. Bloodbath.

Is it even possible for a good player to lose this much in one session? If not, then I am not a good player.

i judge my sessions based on my level of play.

i won 15 BB last weekend and i consider it one of my worst sessions ever.

i lost 50 BB in a 4/8 game before and i considered it to be one of my best.

sounds like you ran bad, dont worry about it.

and seriously, move up. imo, staying at the same level leads to stagnation. i see that you've been playin 2/4 for well over a year now - way too long!

I'm gonna re-evaluate at the 1000 hour mark (100 more hours ); by that time I should be break-even the way I'm running! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

We are clearly kindred spirits, G. Last Friday night I had my biggest negative session ever while sitting at a pretty darn good table. It took me over 2.5 hours to win my first pot, and the next 2.5 hours actually went far worse. In the end I lost 48.75 big bets.

After the session I examined my play and to be honest, I did fine. I made a few mistakes here and there, but nothing catastrophic. I've had winning sessions where I played far worse. As a fun example:

Hero is in the CO with 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 players take the flop (the SB folded his hand!!!) and we see:

6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Ding Ding Ding! Four opponents put in 4 bets on the flop. Turn is a non-heart King and some more money goes in. Board pairs on the river, I make a crying call....

James-I hear you about the golf thing. It is a pretty unnatural way of contorting one's body time after time eh? I assume you know that it is called GOLF cause F**k was already taken [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

My dad who is now 85 played golf for years and he can't play now. He was playing up until he was like 80 still shooting about 88-90 which is pretty amazing for his age. He now goes regularly to a chiro. Years ago never did and his back kept going out. It hasn't gone out in years now. So to answer your Q, yes I think it can help. Some will totally disagree and dismiss them as quacks and that is fine cause everyone has the opinions on things.

My mom goes to chiro like once a month and swears by the guy. Says if she misses an appointment she's in agony by week 6.

Stuff:

Worst session ever-Well my worst loss as far as # of BBs goes so far was 44 BBs at 4/8. Not that bad really in the scheme of things. It came really fast too. I was making tons of good but second best hands for a few hours.

I had one session a few weeks ago where I was up 3 racks after about 5 hours. I arrived to the joint early and was supposed meet a few friends there. They got a late start and didn't arrive till much later. I decided to stick around and wait for them against my own better judgement, and wait, and wait for them and my chips got whittled down to a mere positive profit of $5!!! I kept saying to myself "I should just leave now" several times when I wa still up a nice amount. I was tired and had been there plenty long enough. Why don't we listen to ourselves when we know we are right & we now we should just leave and book the nice win!!! The game was so good but I should have left. The game will be there tomorrow and the next day.

Yesterday playing some 4/8 live I buy in for my normal 2 racks. Sit down and start playing. About 15 minutes later this younger guy a few seats away who had been there awhile says "We need to win some pots over here cause none of us are doing good, except you". I hadn't played a hand since I sat down but he was looking at my chips on the table and thought that I had won some pots. About an hour or so later, I had won some big pots and was up. He asked me if I was a pro. I said, "right, a 4/8 pro" and smiled. About 3 hours later he comes back to the same table and I am up 2 racks and he sits down again and says, "I knew you were a pro, look at your chips dude!" He was dead serious.
