Re: Down Swings
[ QUOTE ]
If you are a winning player BANKROLL deals with the swings. [/ QUOTE ] Dont post obvious, yet irrelevant resonses like this. What everyone else said is spot on. Take a break, analyze your game and most importantly, DONT PLAY ON TILT! I've struggled with this in the past, and the best way to break an approaching downswing is to close all your windows immediately the second you start to tilt and things are going to chit. Talk with friends, read read read, 2+2 it up, go down a level to rebuild confidence, or just take a break from all things related to poker for a couple days and clear your mind...all things I do and they work well.

[ QUOTE ] DONT PLAY ON TILT! [/ QUOTE ] Dont post obvious, yet irrelevant resonses like this. [/ QUOTE ] I qualified my statement, did you? I would expect more maturity from a 2+2er with 700 posts. The initial post you made is extremely unhelpful to OP who is seeking advise, not a remarkably stupid comment such as the bankroll reply you left. You didn't explain your thoughts or offer suggestions pertaining to what OP was actually asking. OP made no suggestion to the fact that his bankroll is insufficient for the stakes he's experiencing variance at. He simply wants sound advice on how to deal with a typical downswing. When I first started playing cash I didn't know what a normalish downswing contained, nor what to do when I was getting slaughtered in the short run either. Go to BBV if you want to troll a post, here you're just asking to get banhammered. Grow up or find another forum. OP I think you have seen a solid amount of advice here besides Rek who needs to figure out this isn't the BBV thread for noobs.

Re: Down Swings
skubba, nice of you to come back and thank the posters. Welcome to the forum and good luck.
Sorry for the childish spat between myself and OSUGreg1983 above. Being a beginner’s forum I should have expanded my initial post as he said. My initial 1-liner was meant to be constructive advice and not a flippant remark. OSUGreg1983, you were in order to let me know I should have expanded my thoughts. However, the way you did it was wrong – you should have just asked me elaborate. Anyways, perhaps we have both learned something from this. Take care

Re: Down Swings
