[Closed] PStars -5BI downswing, tilting!

lol losing 5bi is something standard , don't worry about it ♦

just take a break from poker.

Hope this makes you feel better.
Also stars.
NL10

Like most of the players around will tell you 5BB is NOTHING! I had a 20BB downswing on NL4 SH (4!!!) and a nice 36BB (rake excluded) downswing playing SnG's. You'll have to get used to it! Good luck!

Bi not BB. @ op, hang in there mate I just recovered form a viscous downswing, losing 20% of my BR in two days. But I got it together and just played the best I could finally making almost half my loses back in hours.

Cheers guys!

Everyone knows poker has it's ups and downs. As long as one can stand tough, think with the head and not with the heart, pulling through the downswings is just a matter of time. As long as we win big, lose small, we're gaining ground and progress!

But as always, it's easier said than done. The thought of having a downswing makes one play cautious and someone unrational compared to otherwise, over come this and it's all good

I'm through with the downswing! After 4 hrs of NL5/10 BSS today I'm now 4.6BI up, gonna take a rest now and keep going up tomorrow!

Looks like the /downswing command worked

Having a bit of downswing myself, lost 3BI today but I know it's not much.

Moved up and have been oscillating up and down, started really well, then got really average.

Today was especially frustrating, missing almost every flop and constantly getting re-raised preflop when I raise with smallish hands.

AA and KK these are getting zero action. It's almost like they can see my cards...reraise me when I have 55, instant fold when I have AA or KK.

lol - 5 BI I wouldn't even call that an downswing ♦. have had already had a few times I lost more then 30 BI an the SnG's and still managed to pull through. of course with bss it is less common to lose 5 bi still it is not anything to worry about ;). Remember that the difference between a good player and a mediocre one is that a good player can maximise his profit when he is running hot and minimise his losses when he is running bad. And the only way to do the latter is not letting short term results effect you're game. keep playing you're best and keep putting you're money in when you are in front and the money will come in the long run ♠_cool:.

Sorry, was thinking about BI and wrote BB... Anyway, it's incredibly frustrating but if there would be no big swings there would be no way to make money playing poker since fish would not win on the short term.
