jayboogie 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 This is a post strictly for bitching. I just had the worst session I've ever had in my poker career. I'm usually pretty good with tilt control, but today was just about as bad as it could get. I ended up being stuck 130 big bets before I called it quits, probably shoulda done it earlier, but I thought I could get it turned around considering the games were soft and I felt I'd eventually start hitting.It wasn't bad cards, I mean I got Aces and Kings like 15 times, of course they held up like 2 or 3 times only. I hit 3 boats that loss to better ones. Straights rivered by flushes, flushes beaten by better flushes. This game sucks sometimes, what can you do though, shit happens.This is on top of an 80 big bet losing session yesterday, so I'm on a 200+ BB dowswing. Maybe I just suck or something, but I get these downswings it seems far too often. Somehow I still turn a fairly large profit, I don't even know how it works out, but I never really worry much about money.It's days like this though that I wonder if I could actually do this for a living in the long run. Days like this make me doubt my abilities and drains my self confidence. Ah well, I just wanted to get that off my chest and this forum is an outlet for me to do that. I'm just gonna chill, relax and get to grinding it out tomorrow. Feel free to bitch about your own bad runs in this thread Link to post Share on other sites

caphair 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 i hear ya, i went down 100bb as well. Just like you i kept thinking i could turn it around, but me being on tilt completely led to some awful calls. i eventually quit and went running, the only positive spin to losing money i suppose.

WonderfulSplash 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 My new found ability to play weak-tight has put me on a nice 120BB downswing. The first step to recovery is admitting it. :-) Link to post Share on other sites

InertGrudge 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Although I probably shouldn't...I'll admit that this week was absolutely wretched for me outside of some PSO promotions. Played my biggest pot ever and was on a losing side of it when my set of Aces went down in a blaze of glory to 5-3 offsuit when he rivered the wheel. And, by the way...never play Absolute Poker. Just finished my PSO promotion there and I think I have to take a week off. Ended up all of $20 there, but my goodness. I thought PartyPoker was bad -- nuh uh. Link to post Share on other sites

HtotheNootch 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Running way bad.Fortunately, one of the PSO sites screwed up my cashout, and sent me a check, so I'm in exile at the moment.When my money comes back, I'm going to bodog, hitting them for the bonus, and then playing Smash's NL strat for 10k hands.Meanwhile, I'll be re-reading SSHE about 8 times.That should cure the problems.
