Hey guys, so i got my ten dollars up to fifty on walker poker. Now im on a 3game sng losing streak. I just don't seem to be catching hands, i don't think im doing anything wrong just can't win. Is this normal to go on these slumps like this?

3game losing streaks aint nothing,u could expect up to 10-15 game varience every now and then.
If u play solid poker and use BRM in the long run u will profit

Slumps spelled: P.O.K.E.R

It's not about whether you lose (because you will), it's about how you react! Learn, understand, and embrace that concept, you'll find new level in your game.

Sounds about right to me. If you're worried about a 3 game streak, you'll crap your pants at 15, and wonder if you'll ever be ITM again. Stick to your game and things will turn around sooner or later. :)

3 games really is nothing. And with SNG loosing 20+ games in a row will happen every so often that is why you need a sufficient bankroll for playing them. The general consensus being 50-100 buyins, i'd stick to the later

On a plus side you have broken through a threshold of, by the sounds of it your first bad run,

What you have to realize, though, is that your initial run was lucky-hot. A lot of people have the problem where they assume their first hot streak is their true ability level.
