Default First downswing

This is my first "serious" downswing in over one year and a half of real money play.

Play bad + run bad = standard combo.

Here are the last four sessions:

2007-07-14 <font color="red">-$24.45</font>
2007-07-16 <font color="red">-$19.05</font>
2007-07-17 <font color="red">-$72.51</font>
2007-07-18 <font color="red">-$44.00</font>

Actually I lost more in cash games but then recovered some in SnGs.

Stakes? NL10 and $2.75 + $5.5 super turbo 6-max SnGs. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]


Sorry to disappoint, no degen stuff like moving up to chase losses etc.

In case anyone cares, I'm not too worried of going busto ; this loss is less than 10% of my bankroll. I'm a bankroll nit to the extreme.

Still sucks monkey balls though.

YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A DEGEN TO MOVE UP IN STAKES. YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME PLAYING THAT LOW IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO IMPROVE AND MAKE SOME MONEY.

Seriously, move up.

Also, chasing losses isn't degen. It's a low risk-high return strategy (like martingale).

Thanks for the kind words folks, well intended or not. It's my belief there are lessons to learn from the thing people say, maybe not the lessons they are trying to teach you. All input appreciated. Cheers!
