TRAINWRECK - For TStone

[Surf]

Some may remember my tumultuous -750BB january, and the insane heater that followed in february. Well, I fell into a black hole starting march 1st - here's the graph (dollars, for all you BBV nits):



I have hardly played at all the past week and a half(300 hands / day?), every time I log on I lose 20 bets right off the bat. I play my best until I get frustrated - as soon as I get tilty I stop, hence the super-short sessions lately.

I analyze my game heavily, and I've done numerous HH reviews with fellow 6maxers, and I've got coaching - the feedback from my coaches has been very positive - and i'm getting more coaching.

I'm starting to question if there's a fundamental issue with my game, in that I may be trying to exploit postflop edges that are so small +EV that they are just +variance...I was talking with Our House a couple weeks ago and he commented that he had never seen variance like I see - I mean, whose months go -750BB, +950BB, -600BB? It's insanity.

I'm taking a bit of a break from SH to play full table, and some NL, to try and get my sanity back.

Thanks for any encouragement / comments. "LOLs" and "Howsoooon to u RBUSTO!?"s are fine too. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Here's what I do when I have a short session where I start off by losing: I PLAY TILL I'M ATLEAST EVEN. (Or down >$5000 in which case I insta-close PP and go get drunk)

what happened first 5k hands man?? tilt??

also off-topic but why does pokerpatterns do that stupid doubling of the numbers on the axes - its real confusing sometimes

First is 1.0 second is 1.5. It's rounding. POKERGRAPHER ALL THE WAY!

The first 5k hands were march 1st and march 2nd. I lost 175 BB at 15/30 on march 1st. I lost 220 BB at 10/20 on march 2nd. Both days my showdown #s were something like 28wtsd / 43 w$sd. I have reviewed hundreds of hands from those 2 days and in retrospect I think I was playing pretty well.

then why is there no doubling for all the numbers? it goes like 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4 etc.

basically saying the y-axis graph shouldnt have slopes like that. its retarded!!!

[AllIn3High]

Oops, not actually 1.0 and 1.5. It's something like 1.5 1.7 2.3
3.2 or some [censored] like that (figure out what spacing gives you this on your own)

[Gildwulf]

I'm in a similar boat, although not as bad downswings. -300, +400, -350BB all in the last 25k hands at PTY. I agree about the plus variance and I am a looser player than you. I'm considering tightening up a bit and seeing how that goes. I'm also prescribing myself with a healthy dose of WSEX and hilariously soft live NL play and then maybe some NL 200 set mining or something.

GL, bro.

If you want to add me to Skype I'd be interested in sweating you some time.

Hang in there Surf -- you will be fine in the long run, which should be here within a century or two. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
