My official turn it around post

Fabian · #1 08-22-2006, 07:53 AM

I play 20/40 and 30/60 limit holdem. In the past two months or so I've lost about 550-600 big bets (I often play on sites without PT support), most of it at 30/60. Before this, my worst downswing has been in the 400-450 big bet range, but that happened when I played much lower (10/20). I've lost over 30% of my bankroll and I truly feel like I can't play anymore, like I get outplayed every single session, even by players clearly worse than myself, or so I thought. Also, since I don't play many hours and have often only 2- or 3-tabled during this time, this has happened in less than 10k hands.

So anyway, now after I've posted about it, I expect it to turn around. Thanks for listening to me vent.

600 BB is a lot to drop. It sounds like you have a healthy roll though. You may be better off dropping down. Good Luck

Best of luck Fabian. You've done it once, you'll do it again.

Best of luck.. sometimes something small like this post can change your outlook on poker (and perhaps appease the poker gods).

cheers,

Just played a 53 hand session and finished up about $400, plus $20 in rakeback!

COMEBACK BABY!

yea i agree.. 600BB is wayy too much to be just "running bad", i would definitly assume theres a hole(s) in your game that are being exploited by better opponents.
