Down 11 BuyIns playing NL30,Sh/FR

Losing 11BI is pretty much standard for NL SH. This month i had 2 -10BI swings and one 15BI swing. Played 50k hands at a 4bb winrate in the end of the month. As long as you don't start tilting the downswing will end eventually. However even some of the best players who are proven winners have 100-200k hand samples of being breakeven/losing even over that large of a sample size.

Tilt saver: Put on full screen for a while and relax for few mins

We all have those days.Hope you didn't spew in the end

Lot of player speak about long term. But what long term anyway? When the long term begin? I lost 8-9 stack in this month. One month is a long term? Or 4 month? Because I continusly lose since october. Or is 4 month is not long term? Then what is it? The long term will begin after when I'll lose all of my money? (I'm not far from it)

Of course sometime I win a hand but actually this sound me like a short term win long term loss situation.

well long term is kind of a relative term, sometimes it's 100k hands, sometimes 250k hands, and you will the a long term winner only if you are a winner, so that might be the reason, why you are loosing

otherwise 99.9% of people underestimate variance in poker, as it can be really really cruel at time.

back to 913$ still down 4 BI's better than being down 11

Just took this 1$ rebuy tourney down, while doing some abs and pushup exercises

Broll $970, With the $200 I withdrew its to $1,170 total

only down 2 Bi's things looking good 6k hands later ;p

Dude, you need at least 40 BI-s for SH games. I mean, if you want to wreck your soul go ahead, but...

what are you talking about? 40 bi's are u crazy ♦

Just saying. Some people have super solid mindset that allows them to keep 20 BI for example. When they lose 11 BI they move down and don't bitch about it. If youre not one of them I suggest you practice more conservative BRM.

Some harsh words there. Did I insult you in some way or are you just super bad tempered? If it's the second one I don't think poker is the right choice of hobby for you. Try something more peaceful... Hmm. I don't even know. Water-colouring maybe? Preferrably alone in the room.

Hi Heave112,

We understand that you are going through a bad patch in your Poker journey and as a player I completely understand this.

However, there is no need to get abusive towards members. I trust you understand why I am posting this.

Best regards and hope you have some run good soon.

Keep the chin up!

Must be sucky. Had a similiar downswing on plo25 once and man did it piss me off. Better cool off and take a longer break.

gonna post this once and never reading this topic again

if u ever play nl50 or higher, make sure to at least have 50bi.

regs are stronger there, variance is gonna be high.

edit:
nl25 using 60bi atm myself
nl50 i plan to use 80bi
