WTF?

EDIT: Every time I see this it annoys me. Mainly because people seem to have no concept of how aggression factor is calculated. Its (% of times u bet or raise)/(% of times u call). Calling decreases your aggression factor more than check/folding does. The only way to achieve a 3+ aggression factor on every street is to basically play raise/fold poker almost all of the time. If you think that strategy is optimal in all games you are crazy. OP actually has higher turn and river agg. factors that most of the good party regs.

Somehow... Somewhy... For some [censored] reason... This always happens after I post or tell anyone about my graph... I would posr HH's if I wasnt so pissed at the moment, but all this is a pure bad run, no tilt, same as usual playing style.

i think there is a clue in here somewhere.

also, posting about a downswing that lasts 1120 hands is really, really lame.

Heres my educated guess: OP plays very predictable ABC poker and thus is easy to stack. People on party are dumb so they didnt realize that hes a set miner until today. Set mining didnt pay off today. Are these all accurate conclusions?

Well, I obv had bigger swings before, I had a 21 buy-inn swing on 2/4NL. Its just funny how most swings happen after some kind of "its all going so good" bragging.

I just took a 30 minute break, calmed a little, and sat back in the game. 75 hands later Im stuck 2 more buy-inns. KK vs AA preflop. And opponent's flush draw completes on the river after 90% of money went in.

I insta sit-out again. Now I know I am tilted...

I'm not even so upset about the money I lost, its more the graph, and winrate...

I think I'll take a longer break now...

Here are just some HH's, just a small part as to say:

Hero had K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (two pairs, Kings and Twos) and LOST (-$179.10)

Those are mostly big pots, I had to fold liturally every top pair I had, on some street. I folded a ton of 2-pair, a few sets, and a few smaller straights. Basically, I was playing the Texas Fold'em, and when, for some reason I called, I obv lost. I did bluff today, probably as much as I do usually, but the succes rate today was obv 0.00%. And to top it all anytime I flopped the nuts it always got badly counterfitted on some street. That is the most annoying type of bad run, at some point you start to slowly lose you mind, and have to quit. I probably lost a few buy-inns more then I should have, but that is the almost unevitable part of a bad run...

Oh well, I guess I can always win back some money playing Party BlackJack (martingale, obv). BlackJack HH's coming up...
