I thought fair enough - until I remembered that you call a tap a faucet. All credibility goes out the window after that.

wait, what? you call a faucet a tap?

Yes, and football is played with your feet.

You lost 27k at what stakes? And over how many hands?

[/ QUOTE ]
It's a bit nebulous, because I bounced around 2/4 thru 5/10, and had multiple downswings across all limits, separated by some brief reprieves at the lower stakes. But I'd say about 9k of this downswing was 5/10, about 6k of it is from 3/6, and about 12 [censored] k at 2/4. Over 45k hands, since September 9th.

Either way, move down, watch some videos, start every session with a good mindset(if you need to take a few days off for this DO IT)

Yeah, I took a week off in August after some soul-crushing at 5/10. But maybe that wasn't long enough, because I didn't fully recover psychologically. To be honest, I would force myself to sit down to play, and a feeling of dread would wash over me.

I always watch all the videos I can, and honestly, they mostly seem pedestrian to me, like I'm not taking anything away from them, because I already know all that stuff. Maybe I do have an ego problem or something.

Put in a month at 1/2. Seriously.

Edit: Just for mental reasons. I'm not commenting on your game.

I don't get why you posted this hand. Looks about as standard as it gets.

[LucidDream]

-50 BI in 45k hands there has got to be some serious serious leaks. take a week off and move down.

fwiw, i've played w/ you a little bit lately and your games seemed less aggro and a bit weaker than normal but maybe you were card dead.

[dtan05]

ddubbois, plz play 1/2, it works wonders for your confidence as you can run over bad regs all [censored] dayyyy my winrate was 12PT/100 over 20k hands there, and i know thats a small sample, ran hot but i know you're at least a decent reg, so just hop down there.

[ddubois]

I guess I have no choice but to try it (after a vacation from poker, that is), but I'm surprised so many people think 1/2nl will help me. If my brain is mush and my game is bad, what's to keep me from continuing to lose down there? Also, "running over" people is definitely not in my arsenal right now; my game consists of like 90% crying calling.
