Again, we need to make sure we're estimating our win rate as accurately as possible to gauge our range of outcomes and appropriately set our expectations. How long were you a winner and in what game before this period run-bad? If you've been 10bb/hr winner in your game for hundreds of thousands of hands it's a lot different than if you've been a small winner in a live game for a few months playing twice a week.

Poker is a long run game, the best players go on downswings of tens of thousands of hands, we shouldn't be putting much stock in short term results.

How many hands have you played during this period of run-bad? One of you examples, 2/3 8 hours live sessions-3 8hour live sessions is at most 960 hands, that's literally nothing, anything could happen in 960 hands. Poker can be a frustrating game, dealing with the frustration is an element of the contest, part of how we deal with the frustration is by managing expectations. I wish I could just play for 30 min one day and have nothing happen. I will take a sick beat 20min in, wait all day to get lucky in 1 hand after getting unlucky I wish my opponents would make maybe 3-5 times more hands than me, that would be at least somewhat closer.īut they make more hands on hand #1 than I do in 5 hours. Like how does that even happen? How does someone sit down to their first hand and make a hand bigger thanĪnything I've made over 4 or 5 hours. New to the game posted and made a hand bigger than my biggest hand in there first hand. In loose games and never made more than 1 pair in 2, 8 hour sessions. 2 of my last 3 live sessions I went 8 hours The gap is so massive I am lost how this could happen.įeels like it has to be rigged, but I run like this everywhere. Staples play for 5 min and realize they just did something in the 5 min I haven't done for years or I don't understand how I can get so screwed so frequently and just watch Lex or Its really hindering my game, as I can't even watch others play because To have a lucky session myself takes so long I will get crazy screwed in a way I can't believe. IF I play 2 sessions at least one of them My logical mind just can't comprehend it though. So I'm at the point now I don't care I'll try anything.

I really don't understand how I could possibly get so unlucky nearly every session. Well its getting to the point I have to try anything now.
