Its like a sound barrier. I reached it once for a while and than I sustained -3BI over 5k Hands in one day mostly at NL10.

Well, thankfully for my financial situation I had to withdraw $366 two days ago, taking me down to $600 and far from the border of doom.


But because of the secret Stars Withdrawal promotion and the fact that I am almost at 10K FPP again I will soon have the same problem:

(last 2 days




It seems I start to run good again, but my soul has not yet recovered from the Doomswitch, and I find refuge at NL10 and always spend my sessions there until I make at least 4BI, and then I take a 'shot' at NL25.
I feel like I have a shrapnel near my heart from the -40BI during 12 days explosion and it starts to hurt whenever I get a bad beat.

Healing your soul from the downswing is the most important thing u have to do now !
I know what i am talking about since i had a - 40BI downswing over 50K hands (Nl100 and NL50) like more than half a year ago and it took so long till my soul recoverd.
[ i Was + 10BI in EV and - 40BI in results ... what completely destroyed me in a psychological way so much that it physically affected my RL in a negativ way)

Just try to not think too much about money and avoid every preassure !
play lower limits , relaxe , make easy money and recover your soul.

I know that all too well

U physically feel pain after just 2-3 bad beats when ure soul is crushed from a brutal downswing that happend before.
U get in panic , your heart feels hurting and u think like : Holy fucking shit plz not again not another brutal downswing

This will negativly affect both your real life and your poker winnings.

So keep cool , recover your soul and start to enjoy poker life

GL

It was 40 NL25 BI.

In fact it was about 33 BI at NL25 and 15 at NL10 + 2BI at NL50 and even a couple at NL5 and one at NL2 (I was just getting pwned EVERYWHERE) I don't really keep precise records.

I just know my BR went from 1800 to 700 in under 15 days -.-

Damn, that's sick. Yeah, I went through something similar a while back, went from a BR of 900+ to around 300. Not quite as bad as yours but I seriously quit for like 3 months. Not sure why I'm still playing tbh, I'm terrible


PplusAD   Germany. Jun 05 2009 20:15. Posts 7182

I went from 5,2K -> 270$ within 2 month wheres my EV BR would have been ~ 6K $

OMG, I was suicidal on my $600 downswing. You lost 5K, basically going busto. I felt like I was in hell, can't imagine what u were going through. I would of been tempted to jump off a bridge. Good to see you back alive and doing well

keep grindin that NL10 imo.

as long as youre making money its all good. I had to move back down to nl25 but i think my game has actually improved a lot because of it. I'm actually still running below expectation but raping the limit anyway.

I'm experiencing the same thing with NL100. First time i took a shot i sucked AND ran bad, 4 times after that I've just lost a high percentage of my flips. Which gets me off my A-game, but end result of my shots has still been break-even or winning if you don't count all the flips. Which is annoying and really frustrating but I guess I'll just have to be patient.

Just focus on improving your game and not as much on the $.
