Ugh...

Well I am happy to say I have hit a high...Won a tournament last night - 88 people, and finished 3rd in a 6K out of 300+ people. Good night

Very nice, looks like it is starting to turn around for you.
I had a great run on Pstars and then it happened to me also. Up and down BRs is just part of the unforgiving game of poker, yet we all keep playing.

[-kera-]

I am on a terrible downward spiral, it is sick. I have dropped 25% of my stack in the past two days... I really want to give it up. I am not only getting horrible beats, I am making dumb betting mistakes and even (accidentally) betting way more than I mean. It is sickening. How do you deal with down swings?

Nice to here I droped 70 odd % of mine around £1500 or $2100 ish US in the last week if this keeps on I have to start work "standing" a lot more in the cold'



Feel a Hug

Real happy you are back winning

It is hard to get through the rough spots - and I totally agree with someone here said - that you basically will lose if you expect to.

I do think positive attitude is a major impact. REAL BIG.

There something about self discipline that I have trouble with. I clearly know and recognize a downtime (had many of them some real long ones too) and I know what to do. Play cheap games, play fewer games - play only when I am capable to master-up a positive attitude... BUT there comes the problem.... Why is it that sometimes I cannot stop myself of doing the exact wrong thing! Put an other $20 on a cash table ... or play when I feel I will lose ... or make that bad call on a pot - knowing I am behind ...
I have no name for that totally silly thing I do - fortunately - it is only very seldom - but it does happen and when it does it costs money... and is painful.

Is it just me with this mysterious behavior?
