Did anyone like me got a 15 buy in downswing recently? I try for the last 2 weeks the beginner course of confidant 91 and always loose my buy in on all in with KK,QQ and AK. I got the feeling all the time I should just fold..
Hope i'm not the new one.
Did anybody got any course or strategy I can try to help me with that?
or studiing tread on forum to help improve my game.
Thanks
I've had several downswings over the years. Some of them big ones like yours.
Number one reason will be tilt, even though some people will deny it and say they are playing reasonably or even ok.
I have two advices.
First one is quit for some time. Go do something else, forget poker. This one will be difficult because you'll want to return to the tables to get your money back, but give your best effort.
Second one is to drastically reduce your volume and shorten your sessions. Set up the playing time before starting to play and quit no matter what. You'll also have a better time when reviewing 1h sessions rather than 8h sessions.
Following up on the previous one, a most general advice is to play every single hand taking into account every single factor you can think of, it will improve dramatically your decision process. Don't rush anything. Don't auto-pilot.
All this sounds super easy but you'll see it is stupidly difficult to implement.
Less of the racism drinkmorewater.
How come the moderators haven't pulled drinkmorewater on his blatant racism?
Not racist, judst thought I knew the person and wanted to confirm, who it was, a trick afaik.
Will act civilised from now on.
Sorry if offence?

15 buy-in downswing is small. I've played over two million cash game hands and during that time my record downswing is 42 buy-ins. Admittingly half of those buy-ins was down to pure Phil Hellmuth tilt rages. Something which has crept into my game of late and something I intend to overcome after identifying triggers which cause me to tilt.
If you are a beginner the best thing to do is play just one table until you understand all the concepts and are confident in your game. By playing just one table you can remain 100% focused on your opponents and make notes on their play. Note the players who stack off with top pair weak kicker (AQ) and those players who do not. Those players who do not stack off with tpwk (AQ) when you have tptk (AK), and they reraise you on the turn or river, you know for certain they have you beat. If you can manage not to stack off to set miners, again make notes on players, and learn to pot control tpwk (AQ) you will be successful in time.
And don't tilt!!

Downswing or just playing bad?
