When Everything Goes Wrong… but Somehow Works Out

[babyrosejr]

Sometimes you sit down, ready to play your best game… and then boom — you lose half your stack in the first orbit.
You start thinking, “Maybe today’s not my day.” But the funny thing is — sometimes that’s exactly when you end up running deep.
It’s weird how poker works — the moment you stop expecting too much, things start going your way.

Do you guys also have those sessions where everything looks doomed early, but somehow you turn it around?

Just last night I went down $2800 but finished the night up $2600

I've had that experience in many tournaments, even in our own CardsChat league games. Sometimes an early bad beat can really bring me down. Then I need to take a deep breath, know that poker isn't over until it's over , and shake it off to focus on sticking with my A-game.

It's hard to do that sometimes, which is why I guess it is good that we get a lot of practice!

Yes, it does happen, and it's quite normal.

In some plays from the start I lost a lot of chips, but all of a sudden good games came to me and I even won prizes,

Quando vWhen you bluff pre-flop and end up hitting it.
