mark_999 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Ever have a day when you just can't win??You loose almost every race, You get sucked out on twice in 10 mintues and loose 2 big pots because he thought middle pair was good and hit 2 pair on the river, you have KK, and an Ace hits the flop, and your bankroll starts to slowly go down..Man its frustrating. What do you do when nothing goes your way? just stop for the whole day? or try to get back to even? Link to post Share on other sites

SilentButDeadly3 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I've had that day for the past week. Just for fun I've counted my races won vs lost in the past 3 days. Race is defined as anything that is 50/50 or 60/40 like A10 vs K7. Races won: 11Races lost: 64Also missed three OESFD with overs/lives all yesterday. God I can't wait til the good variance kicks in.

God I can't wait til the good variance kicks in.Yea, I think this is where Bankroll management really kicks in. Today i was gonna just tilt off my money , but instead i just went to the penny tables and blew off steam there. Just gotta stay positive and as long as you get your money in with the best of it, You will HOPFEULLY come out on top. Link to post Share on other sites
ForRealDD 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The best serious advice I can give you is to make yourself aware that you are running horrid, and adjust accordingly. Play a ton of micro SNGs, play micro NL, or my favorite, take the day off. The worst thing you can do is move up limits to get it back. Lose in moderation, win in excess.

TwoFourOffsuit 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I immediately stop, forget about poker for the rest of the day, do other stuff and try again tomorrow, or whenever my head's back in the game. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Legally change your name.Just thinking about what to change it to will distract you from worrying about bad beats or losing sessions.It's pretty much a hassle but worth it in the long run, especially if your names Mark.you're welcome Link to post Share on other sites
nutzbuster 7 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm just now coming off a long break after a good month and a half asskicking.

What do you do when nothing goes your way? just stop for the whole day? or try to get back to even?I played my usual low stake home game couple days ago. I played amazing poker but i ended up losing 2 buyins (50$ ea). and even tho i was losing (outragous beats) i still thought my play and decision making was godlike. Im just pointing out that being able to play at the same level when your winning and when your losing is fun and important! Link to post Share on other sites

midasmouse 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm in the same boat... and when I get a boat, someone has quads. Funny thing is, it's not just online. I've lost 10 sessions in a row online at $20 a pop (cash and tourneys). Over this past weekend in our home games, I lost another $200 in cash and tourneys! Even my friends were saying how I couldn't win a race or coin flip to save my life. I felt like Daniel on HSP when he'd flop the nuts and get outdrawn over and over. I don't know what to do about it. I want to become a better player, so how do you overcome this? I even waited to flop the nuts, and got it all in... against a set. The turn paired the board. There is just nothing I feel I can do. Are my hands tied here?? I'm really really frustrated and venting now. Link to post Share on other sites
