checkymcfold 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 well done, fg!i am currently finishing up one of my -50BB runs, although this one isn't following the normal "flop the nuts, lose" pattern, but rather the "flop an oesfd every hand, cap it 6 ways, cap it 5 ways on the turn, miss and fold river with 7 high." back down to even on the day after that.

monoatomic 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm having a problem with my game that I'm hoping will somehow be remedied in the new year.Basically, I can't book a small win. Over the past 7 months of play, there has not been one session that has ended with a modest win or a modest loss. It's either win 175BB or lose 240. Granted I play exclusively 6max where I know the swings can be really brutal and I accept this as part of the game I've chosen to play, but it just doesn't seem like a natural progression of how I should be looking to build a bigger roll and cashing out profit once a month.I think one of the hardest things to overcome for me is the fact that when I am going on a big upswing I am playing well and catching cards. Hitting sets on the flop, hitting draws on the turn, having my A10 AJ AQ, hit and not get out drawn. However when I'm losing all of those things just don't happen. I don't hit sets, my draws no matter how many outs just don't hit, and my TPTK gets sucked out on by someone calling 83o to three bets cold on the flop.It leaves me wondering, am I really good enough to consistently win, or is my entire poker playing dependent on whether or not I'm having a day where I am hitting cards.Obviously a very integral part of the game is having the best hand at showdown, but is profit and loss really just a matter of whether the deck is in love with you on a particular day?I'd like to sort of level out and become more consistent and not allow myself to get caught up in such huge swings, but I honestly don't even know where to start.I've tried setting time limits, but that only frustrates me when I'm having a good day and have to end it or get up from a table of donkeys and the reverse is when I'm losing I end up watching the clock more than playing correctly.I've tried setting stop loss amounts, but again, you can reach -80BB in 6 max a lot easier than in other games and I really don't know what is an "acceptable" amount to stop and say, "yes, this is unnatural and I'm unlikely to recover."Any insight would be fantastic!

checkymcfold 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 i'm down about 75BB on the river in my last 200 hands at some amazingly nice tables :/monatomic--are you sure about the 175-200BB sessions? that's insane. Link to post Share on other sites
monoatomic 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Unfortunately I am.For instance last night I made $700 playing 2/4 6 max, that's almost 200BB in about 1800 hands.3 nights earlier, I lost 650 same game in about 1300 hands. Link to post Share on other sites
HighwayStar 8 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 yea that is crazy. I think my biggest ever loss is about 90 and my biggest win about 170.Recently I've never been more than +- 40 Link to post Share on other sites

monoatomic 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I usually play minimum 1200 a session, usually reaches about 1500 on most nights. I do run 4 tables almost all the time, so I'm sure that factors into things, but I don't know many people who play seriously who don't run at least 3 tables at once. Link to post Share on other sites
