ilovejulie 0 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 So I follow my stats on thepokerdb, like everybody else does I'm sure, and I am just in the worst downswing imaginable. Like twice as long without cashing than ever before. I've still got a good ROI and am playing off the profits, and have just dropped in limits too as you can see if you look at my tourney buy-in data, but I'm just bubbling left and right! It's driving me crazy. Was I really no good but just got lucky and now reality is hitting me? Is this just normal variance? Should I change style drastically and see what happens? Basically, I'm a poker basketcase right now... SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!! lol :icon_cry:edit: I am ilovejulie on Bodog if you care to look my stats up Link to post Share on other sites
donk4life 34 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 either play supertight or don't play at all, that always works for me when i'm in a downswing Link to post Share on other sites

Cappy37 0 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 It takes exactly one MTT to turn around a downswing. Never forget that fact. It's really the only thing online poker has in common with video poker. In MTTs, one solid showing can erase an entire week of misery.And, as always, if you expect to lose, you will, so kick back and think the positive vibes. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Strictly speaking of $ MTT's (not sats or S&G's), I think I went for almost 6 months without cashing, but I'm probably being hard on myself. Link to post Share on other sites
