I didnt come to cry, but its not very funny anymore, this completed my 11 BI downswing(?) is this like normal?
I started playing NL2, made it from 50 to 100 in some time, then started playing NL5 rush, ran pretty good made it to $200, got down to $150, started playing NL5 SH made it up to $400 after some time, then i started playing NL10 got to $550 a now this crazy 11 BI downswing, im am not that much under EV(only 4 BI) but probably running extremely bad (or maybe I just suck no idea), is this a normal swing at SH?
Like I dont care too much about the lost money or whatever, but I was just wondering if this happens also to good players? I know you can loose a lot if things arent going right and cant do much about it but this seems a little too much imo.
If anyone would like to sweat you can post here, would be glad. I do probably tilt a lot and I have a tendency to try to overplay everyone(I would call it maybe semi-maniac, i try a lot of fancy moves which is probably stupid on NL10, I think 99% never bluff 4bet, so when a guys 4bets me for the third time it probably isnt the best idea to ship JTs(bb stack) etc.) i play 24/22 atm. Also I feel im totaly owned in 4bet called pots, the ratio between stack and pot is so wierd, and I have little to no idea what people call 4bets with on NL 10(aces?).
I read all the silver and gold articles on PS, also I dont recommend new people to watch vids of NL100, people play so agro there, if u try that at the micros everbody is just giong to call you and you will get owned(my exp.).
Just some random thoughts put together.
OK, and one more thing, diamonds pls dont laugh
