Why is it that after 1 or 2 bad beats my game goes too the wall?
I have been playing now for 18 months and recently over about a 6 week period managed to accumulate a substantial bank roll.
From$100 i made $800 .
1 was really doing well and it was hard work, back checking my play ,putting people on ranges ,not joining cash rings and diving in .,studying play before getting involved.
Needless to say i rewarded my self and withdrew halve my bankroll.
I then re enterd play at the same level i was playing at .Thinking i would make the money back easily.
I got a bad beat
88 4betl
flop 8 10 3
i check vilain raises i go all in
turn 5
river 10
I put him on a 10 A
HOW WRONG I WAS
HE HAD 10 3
needles to say i was furious,and in one day lost the rest off my bankroll trying to punp it back up.
I consistently get like this loosing all in one day after a few losing hands .
MY question is how do i get over these bad beat situations?
A lot of people have a stop-loss limit as well. For example if I lose 2-3 BI I stop playing and take a break. How long the break is depends how tilted I am. Sometimes I'm playing well but I'm just not getting the hands. Then I just take a break of an hour or so. If I'm really tilting and spewed those 2 stacks I usually stop playing for the rest of the day.
