Message: [QUOTE="DP_Machine, post: 662368, member: 24375"] [b]re: What's the best thing to do...[/b] A couple of different approaches you can take here. I hope that one of them helps. One way is sadly just tough it out and keep playing and start reinforcing your thoughts with the whole 'law of averages' evening itself out. If you've been on the losing end of a lot of these flips, then it should turn around....eventually. Not sure if this is a plausible course of action if you get deflated after going cold during this or future runs. The other one is to take a serious break. I'm currently scaling back seriously the amount of online poker I'm playing and poker in general. Yes, a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm swamped with school, but before I used to make some time just to get some play in. I've been playing at PokerRoom before, just seeing where my Canadian bonus could get me. I haven't been doing well online and those bonus dollars haven't panned out into anything for me. It's been a combination between making bad decisions, losing focus and a healthy dosage of opponents catching miracle cards on me. Thus, I've been staying away from it and actually reading books on poker and thinking through several situations where I can vary my play or make a more correct decision. I'm a part-time dealer, so I try to put people on hands by watching them and also learn if I can pick up stuff from them too. This opportunity may not work for yourself, but you can always just watch other players play to have the same effect, if you have the time and patience to watch others play. I hope to come back to playing, either over the holidays or even taking a longer break and not coming back to serious online play until after I graduate with my degree, get a job and more disposable income to convert into my bankroll. Oh yeah...almost forgot to mention posting on the forum here and getting tips or learning more about the different situations and how players would approach certain hands and situations. Anyways, good luck and hope your cold streak goes hot soon. [/QUOTE]
