damn one more session and down 300 total today EV wise i should be winning 100$ :@ and 700 BB below EV
Sick swings :@

But happy with my play

The only good thing is the cash game session which still puts me 200$ + for this month

Wow that's pretty disgusting.

Don't want to make you feel worse but I need to point out that even the EV line is negative so you probably are tilting and making mistakes too.

I know its hard when you're running bad and all but just thought I'd tell you since sometimes we don't realize it when we're going through a bad run.

Keep your chin up though. You've bounced back before and you surely will bounce back here too. Just continue to keep making the right decisions.

I know EV isnt +ve either but I am not really tilting in game or playing bad
Way too many coolers and suckouts

I am not really upset, kind of due a downswing after the heater i had, will pass through this no worries :)

did some study and played 1 more session
though i didnt lose a lot must be like 40ish in this one but its probably the worst session ive had
Every over pair lost every AK/AQ vs worse Ax lost, rarely won flips
BVB keep running into better Ax or over pairs

couldnt even win with KQ on KKQ board

need a break and also need to work on my game

Might go back to 9 mans for a while till i get my confidence back

Just had a small chat with my coach
We are going to do a review on Tuesday as hes not free before that

Hes advised me to keep playing as stopping for a while is pointless unless my mental game is affected
According to him i should cut down on tables and reduce sessions to get me to focus on poker and get rid of the negative thoughts that come due to the bad run

Gonna try and do that for a while

Just did a long review of a lot of my games analysing each spot at 4/3 handed play

Came to three conclusions

1- Am I running bad? - Yes pretty bad
2- Am I playing good? - Nopes, playing ridiculously bad and hence the downswing is bigger
3- I am pushing tighter and calling wider than i should. Sometimes wide enough that its -ev call in chip ev as well

My calling/ repushing ranges are completely messed up
This is what happens when u stop studying for a while

Going to go back to basics and have to study ICM all over again and rework my ranges

Heres how i did the study
First i went through all HH and found out spots where SNG wiz/Nash said something different than my action

Then Played 6 tables and started marking hands where i was not sure, manually did ICM calculation after the session and then compared with SNG wiz/nash

Finally managed to get my EV line going upwards but ran into a lot of hand over hand situations and ran bad
But atleast made it BE in terms of profit and EV line went upwards so thats something good :)

Why your focus is too much on results

Just ignore for few days & try not to post anything about results

its hard to not be results oriented when each session is 10-30 BI down
Had another disaster session down 350 today
Its become so hard to even cash in the events
Cant win flips, cant win when ahead, BVB keep running into bigger hands

Going to move to 9 max for a while
