[Closed] 50buy-ins up in 3 days

Just play your game in your current limit. There is a saying "Strike while the iron is hot.

I also had a winning streak at the start of this month $1500 in just 5500 hands but I did not bother of any upcoming downswings.

pics or it didnt happen!

Gratz dude

Don't worry Drach, it's not that you need to experience a downswing now, also you are much more experienced now after 500k hands, so you'll be able to decrease your losses in rough times.

I personaly think all this upswing, downswing thinking is kind of a bullshit, even if I'm experiencing so many badbeats in the last 70k hands. It's variance and as the name says it can't be predicted, we only try to quantify it because we get scared of the things we can't control or understand.

The day I'll not believe in that anymore is the day I stop playing.

Just enjoy your winnings and play your best.

Actually i realy do not have time today, i am working, i can post graph tomorrow, but what does it matter, i just want a serious opinion....thanks;)

dude thats just superstition. just because you have been winning for a few days doesnt make it anymore likely that you will loose tomorrow. like people say the cards have no memory and to tomorrow you will have just a big a chance of winning as today or yesterday or in a week as long as you play your a-game.

edit: btw grats on your winnings man! how many hands did you play to win it?

Variance doesn't care about what happened in the past. Just because you had a huge upswing doesn't mean that you will have a huge downswing now.

You might just continue to run well for even longer. If you feel the fear of the downswing is affecting your game - you can of course move down for a while and just enjoy that you have won so much - but in all reality the most normal thing to do is to just keep on doing what you have been doing

Yeah exactly, if you're already psychologically bracing yourself for a downswing, it will negatively affect your game and you will see yourself losing a few stacks due to bad play/being scared.

SoyCD, thanks for the competent answer, maybe i should clear my mind a little bit, because i think i figured it out what happened to me in the past, when i had a huge upswing, i was very happy, emotions were running through me too much and i felt strong..really strong, so i start playing more loose and i felt "power" and what happened i also start playing bad and wrong or maybe also tilting...I have to stand to reality and always play my "A" game..I think i ll need to read some articles and books on this issue. Do you maybe have some proposal for some articles or books?Thanks, Drach.

Arround 5000hands

cashout before it turns ♦ or just play until you feel you play bad or not stable then go on vaccation for 2 weeks, I did that, came back and crushed^^

Think I might know what you mean, "Winning-Tilt" is always a hidden worry for me when I'm on an upswing. I'm pretty sure my game does inevitably change for the worse though If I allow myself to think of this.

I just assume the best course of action is to keep playing the same good and not let your winnings screw with your head. (not that I've been able to do that ever)

it would be 5 times more if you played BSS, SSS is for suckers.
