seanthecon 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 is it possible to be just plain and simple running cold? i mean, if u have lucky streaks, u have to have down streaks right? im just trying to figure out if there is something wrong with my game right now. usually have a pretty steady increase of profits with no problem, but past 3 or 4 days NOTHING loose 4 win 1 break even, loose 4 win one. loose 6 and call it a night... just dont see how my play can go from + $500 a week to going negative.

Sea Wasp 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yes it is possible to run real cold. Yes there is likely something wrong with your game.Yes you may be playing worse because you are getting frustrated.There are a million variables regarding why you may be winning 1 day and losing another. Generally we call this varience and try to limit and play through it. It is a combination of alot of factors, including but not exclusive to, what the deck is doing to you.

BeaverStyle 1 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 It's kind of along the same lines as, "There are no stupid questions... just stupid people."Take a break if you're running so badly. Link to post Share on other sites

chrozzo 19 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Do we have some sort of quota in this forum for ppl to post about down streaks, and wondering if they are real or not? Every day we get a couple new threads about this, then they get flamed and are eventually drowned out by a new thread that says the same damn thing.If you lose race after race or get hit by a 3 or 4 outer more than 80% of the time, YES YOU ARE RUNNING COLD...if you dont realize that this is a part of poker then why are you putting money up just to get upset when you lose it?It happens, to even the best players in the world...all the time! Thats why poker is at least loosely categorized as a type of gambling...theres not many things foolproof in this world other than Belgian beer and hookers. Link to post Share on other sites
IQCrash 1 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've been playing poker since 1948 and have never had a losing session. This is because I use the Micon System.PM for details. Link to post Share on other sites

Even top players go through streaks where they lose a good chunk. The worst of the down-streaks happen when bad leaks you are not aware of are made worse by bad luck. When you are going on a bad run it is always better to assume there is something you can improve on before you blame it on bad luck. Link to post Share on other sites

givalitl 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Watch Daniel on HSP season 2. That should tell you if it's possible for a great player to run really bad. Link to post Share on other sites
finztotheleft 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 If you want a decent answer Sean, you need to give more info. Up $500 and now it's gone is not sufficient info. That could be 1 hand for some people. What stakes were you playing ? Over how many hands, etc Link to post Share on other sites
