[Closed] Downswing at PokerStars

http://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/psychology/

Don't worry,you're not the only one who gets such beats and is in a bad mood because of that,maybe even on tilt.
I have some troubles too,but the only thing you can do is read those articles and try to control yourself,also if you have another losing session,quit for the day and do something fun,maybe tomorrow is a better day.

It's a part of the game,we all hate it but we all love the game.

Thanks, mate. Read em allready.

Just very frustrating, to constantly being called by group 9 cards. not just called but people going allin, and bloody win.

But as the articles mention. Its hard to play the game, you almost fear calling a raise, even though you know you have the upper hand.

But ill try my best just to stick to the tactics and hope it will pay off in the long run.

From what you are saying it would appear that you are playing solid poker with minimal leaks. In $5 sng you are facing 2/3 chum and only 1/3 have half a clue how to profit from SnG or even play poker properly.

So what you are experiencing is variance. And variance is simply a test to weed out those who lack the testicular fortitude to truly play poker and build a bankroll. The other function of variance is as an excuse for those who play bad, but are too proud to admit it.

Stick to the tactics, adhere to the basics, post your hands, read all posts everyday, gather experience both in theory and in play. Play solid, be resolute and the variance will shift.

When you have a good hand, play fearless, regardless of past chum who slipped your net. Plenty of fish in the poker ocean.

I am in the same boat, but i am playing $1 s&g and the 10 cent tournys never know your luck. I am down to $26 keep ♦ things will turn around soon i hope

for 5$ sngs that's not very big downswing, especialy if you are playing mtts. Relax a bit, maybe play some cashgame or some omaga to chill out.

I lost yesterday 55$ on 1800hands playing NL25 SSS. You can not imagine how much crap i had to eat AGAIN there
