    Oh my word.  This week has been truely awful.  Hit a low today.

    Bricked every single tournament.  Only one of them when I went in behind.  Lost 90% of my flips including 3 within about 10 minutes in the SPT Quarter Final when I was chip leader including a 5k pot AK v AJ which would have seen me into the semi final definitely.

    Running so so bad.

    Yesterday was another mixed day on the tables.  Bricked every single tournament again... not running well in those at all at the minute.

    Cash started off terribly too.  I was down about £300 early yesterday as on a shorthanded table I got aggressive with my 1010 to see myself up against QQ losing a full BI at 100nl... and lost another BI SB v Button where I thought villain was light - he was on the flop until he hit is miracle trips on the river.   The 3rd BI i lost I had flopped the flush draw and gutshot in an inflated pot pre and got it in to see myself up against trips, missing my outs on the turn and river.

    Then I hit a nice run of cards including....

    Bit lucky with this one... although a pot bet on the flop was usually a sign of 'dont call me' with this villain.... although I almost folded turn but couldnt get AK out of my head, as he had played a hand a few orbits before where he had ended up folding after the exactly the same betting pattern to a raise on the turn.

    And a number of other smaller pots which added up to a decent profit on cash last night.

    I played 20nl with hhft.., Jac and Lambert and ran quite well.  Ended up +2.5bi's I think.  Really enjoyed it though.  Its nice to have a table which talk and have a bit of a joke whilst playing.  Would definitely be up for playing more games like that one.

    Worrying thing is this is just today as I can only go 50 pages back on HH.

    Its been brutal.  I havent had one single cash in about 3/4 days.... I cant seem to win any crucial flips at the minute.

    :(

    Dont panic everyone!  Its OK.

    Even though MTTs have been...well... pretty terrible...

    Cash is saving me.

    That £200 odd i lost on MTTs?  Back in the account.  Boom.  Now if i could maintain my good run in cash thatd be nice...

    Chin up Gazza, ive lost 70% of my bankroll on here in the last month ok some of that has been trying to sat into main events (all failed) which I hardly ever try to do and my couple of hundred £s is nothing compared to some but it is to me. While I have lost that on here I have made far more than that on another site so I know its not my game and having watched you play and looking at the hands you have posted I know you will turn it around as its not your game it is just a downswing happens to us all mate.

    Cheers rock.

    Tried satting into SPT... lost an all in KKv99.

    Tried satting into the UKOPS.... lost an all in AK v AJ.

    Tried playing the Primo.  Lost A10 v AQ on AQ10 board.

    Tried playing deepstack... Lost all in 1010 v 99.


    I am running so god dam bad its unreal.  And whats worse is that im trying to overcompensate for it, which is causing me to try and bluff in spots i wouldnt normally... and folding spots id usually continue.

    Urgh.  Just terrible this week.  Absolutely awful.

    I feel your pain Gazza. A 2 week downswing has turned into a month long slogloss (not sure thats a word but whatever) for me. 

    I should be looking forward to Ukops but in a way I'm dreading it.

    Yeah im totally fed up.

    Just did 3 buy ins on 100nl in about 10 minutes.

    First one was all in pre JJ v 1010.  Yep 10 on the flop.
    Second one was a bit spewy tbf.
    Third one I got it in on a flop to see villain river FH against my flush. N1.

    Done.

    May be taking a break at this rate.

    Taking a break is always good but maybe you should consider dropping down limits instead? Build your confidence back up and then move back up when your ready!q

    Yeah think thats in my thinking anyway.

    I just cant win anything at the minute.... nothing.  Never in my life have I lost so many 70/30, 60/40 or even 50/50 flips in such a short period.

    I know I could have saved myself 1 buy in tonight which was total spew not long after my JJs got done by the 10s after he 5 bet shipped it - argument for folding yes but villain is much less inclined to do it this deep with AA/KK and its much more likely to be AK/QQ/1010.  Took a gamble.  I was right, but it didnt pay off.

    Havent cashed in an MTT in a week now either.  Times are tough.

    Couldnt be arsd in the main or mini.

    Got bust in the deep stack early doors when I shoved AQ and got looked up by someone fancying a gamble with 109.  N1.  Tilted a bit and just went a bit mental in main.

    Cant be arsd anymore.  Just gunna stick my BR on red and see where it gets me.  Probably have a better chance of winning that than I do any other kind of flip at the minute.

    You're over thinking and chasing/getting frustrated.  Take a break mate.

    And always bet on black.  ;)

    You may be right.

    Not sure im over thinking anything.  Although I probably am chasing and Im definitely getting frustrated.

    Its odd... the game that I was winning tonnes on not two weeks ago, im now losing in equal measures.  Its hard to deal with because I dont know whats changed for the swing to move the other way.  Its easy to call it variance but maybe ive altered something minor which has had drastic effects... I just dont know what!  That is what im getting more frustrated with... i cant pinpoint why im losing.
