BW - there not a lot wrong with that graph dude. I would expect most FR players have some -ve red line. That has a nice shallow gradient so its fine imo.

I CANT SLEEEEEP

I guess I'm tired now that I ran for a good 1/2 hour and took a nice shower, but I don't want to have to run every night. God forbid I get back in shape! :(:(

How long can you expect an upwing (or swong for the younger set) to last?

Last night was omg so fustrating. The rings was just nonevents, every time i flop a set i get no action, every time i have an overpair someone else flops a set.

To top it off i played a few mtt's, and bubble both just before the $$ with sets.

Is this your real graph? If it is and you haven't been playing satellites (see my sharkscope and bw's as well, we buy-in for fpps so it counts it as a $0 buy-in) that's pretty sick :).

I had a pretty sick light-bulb moment while playing yesterday.

Now I'm listening to Stan by Eminem.

having lost to a few all-ins vs u HU, I'd have to say it feels quite nice, almost orgasmic really.

For what it's worth, these swings are really no big deal. You should be happy you didn't tilt and lose more! Imagine this: one of my best friends has fifteen buy-in swings every session! Think about how much you've won over the last month, three months, year, whatever, and you'll realize how easy poker is, and how necessary small swings are for the benefit of your own game, and to keep you in check!

I hope you understand. If you would like more advice about this, I can direct you. Just let me know, sir!

Oh I know long-term this is true, but this is just after a -5 buy-in downswing at 200nl, finally looked like I was gonna have a good day, gonna grind a ton of hands, get the BR back up, and then I get ****ed like that. Also I'm pissed at myself because although some of those were bad beats I wasn't exactly playing great poker. Oh and also, the last $200 or so is tilt, the first part is all FR, then the last bit I decided to play some 6max and try playing like 38/35. Quite a few profitable bluffs actually, including some flop 3-bets with air, but then it caught up to me and my bluffs started running into hands and as you probably know when you're on tilt it's tough to figure out when the situation is good/bad.

Meh w/e I know it could be worse, just venting. I should be back to normal tomorrow, just completely sucks now, feel like I just forgot how to play.

Remember, you should have approximately one 10 buy-in downswing a month, if you play any sort of exploitive game, so that will happen, and it's supposed to happen! Also, do not play 6max when you are losing! Also, don't think about the ultimate long run, as it will take away from your A+ game (Oh, if I play 50k more hands at 2 PTBBs, look at all the money I'll make!), think about making the best decision right then and there!

I've been trying to keep this in my head lately and has been working pretty well. If I feel I am making good decisions and still losing, then no use in worrying about it. If I ever feel like I'm making decisions based on tilt or any other reason than that its the right decision to make at the time, I immediately quit all my tables. Has really done wonders for my game/tilt control.

Let me expand on this point for your sake (A fan of Ellsbury is a friend of mine.): Any time when you don't feel like you are playing the best you've ever played, you aren't playing your best! Remember, you are the boss, and you're supposed to feel like the boss. When you neglect to 3-bet someone preflop in position because you just don't want to, remind yourself that you're the boss, and then make the decision!

Got it, so 92s, 3-bet IP. I know AAs would be a 3-bet IP but would you recommend a fold or call with AAo?
