iv probably posted something similar to this in the past but when you get on downswings like this it really makes you wonder what the fuck is going on .
how can i lose too 2/3 outers relentlessly tournament after tournament when the chips go in ?
how can i keep flopping sets and never winning ?
how come i never ever hit my draw ?
how come opponent never misses his draw ?
why does my QQ KK AK shove always run into AA ?
now you read in forums all the time about how its all rigged blah blah blah , obviously im not one of those people but i will defend these posters from time to time as they are clearly going through what i am right now and it really does make you question things when its never ending . im playing in the region of 16 hours a day every single day and this is close to 2 weeks of pure sickness . its putting massive pressure on geoff at western as he is my sponsor and i speak with him every day and its getting to the point where i just dont know what to tell him anymore , thank god he actually watches a lot of my play online and gets to see what is going on . we have had some rough patches in the past and iv always managed to come good and repay the faith , i hope to god this will be the case again as hes the best sponsor i could wish for and i would be pretty upset if we parted company .
im sure there are plenty of players that read this understands what im going through and the pressure a downswing puts you under , its only the fortunate few that have endless bankrolls that can cope with big downswings but unfortunately im not one of them . hopefully i will get the chance to play this out and turn it around and it happens sooner rather than later . my games still solid , im not tilting , but i am getting very depressed about it and just need to see a little light at the end of the tunnel .
Im in your club, on a massive online downswing, everytime I get it in I find AA, its so tough. 90 paid obv I bust 93rd time after time. I'm lucky I can switch to a week of live poker and mix it up a little. A little time away from it can do you good, online can send you stir crazy!
ReplyDeleteI am not an exponant of "take time off", I like to play through it like you do, it will come good, its just a question of when!
Chin up, play good it will happen!
in same shoes...the only problem is I lost AA six times all in pre flops...twice to AK...
ReplyDeleteimagine...I am the worst run bad player on the planet...
