Message: [QUOTE="Austria7, post: 5957002, member: 392735"] An interesting post. A bankroll drawdown of 70% is extremely difficult to handle psychologically. It is obvious that there is practically no self-confidence in your own game and you are afraid of every tournament or every playable hand in the tournament. I don't know if it makes sense from a psychological point of view to invest your time in freerolls where extremely loose players are represented who call every raise and call every bet on the flop with every draw or bottom pair or even raise or push all-in with draws or any hit or even ace-high. The chance of getting into the prize money in freeroll tournaments with 3000+ players is simply very small, it is practically pure gambling and has nothing to do with poker strategies. Other attitudes could also be changed to take the psychological pressure out of the game. 1) Risk only 0.5% or better 0.1% of your bankroll instead of 1% of your bankroll. This makes it even easier to survive a losing streak. 2) Change your hand range in the direction of tighter and play approx. 3 - 5% fewer hands - you have fewer decisions to make and less often the opportunity to run against a better hand with a hand that is only moderately strong. Your own starting hand become more strong which makes it much easier to play postflop. The primary goal should be to have fun in the game and to build self-confidence again, the bankroll will then recover into positive territory due to variance.

It may make sense to switch from MTT to Sit 'n Go.[/COLOR] 4) It could also make sense to play more and shorter tournaments in order to achieve a positive result (prize money place) as often as possible. Hope that helps. Good luck buddy. :) [/QUOTE]
