So its finally here... a doomswitch.
Its not just the EV, far from it, I simply have the worse hand like 90% of the time.
+ Show Spoiler +
But whatever, this is poker and I have been running soo hot past 2 weeks.
Today I didn't deal with it well as I was tired, and I continued to play at 9 to 12 tables, and I made one bad call when I had a straight, the board paired on he river and he obviously had it.
Anyway, as this can end tomorrow, but I also can be pwned by the deck for weeks, lets all pull together.
DOOMSWITCH BUSTING GUIDELINES
1) Strict Stop loss - 3BI or even 2BI. Why? When you run bad you obviously start thinking about it and any suckout's impact on your mentality will be much higher. Also, move down when you lose 10 or more BI at your limit, or when you hit a 'point of no return' when you are not comfortably rolled for your limit.
2) Cut down on tables - You run bad, your losses will just multiply
3) Brutal table selection on very few tables - You need to have as big of an edge as you can, and use it to your maximum potential.
You might get more tilted when the fish suckout on you a lot(as expected when you run bad), but overall the impact of a cold deck should be smaller if you run 10bb/100 against your villains under neutral conditions than when you play regs.
4) Focus on your play, not results.
-Don't look at your BR unless you are checking if stop loss is in place. Review your hands after the session and check if the suckouts were not in fact your mistakes that you didn't realise. (E.G. you have a straight and villain obvious fullhouse on a paired board, but you call anyway for 3/4 pot shove as you think that this can't happen again)
Obviously its hard to focus on all these points when you have been crushing anything and everyone like Chuck Norris in the the past, but dealing with bad run of cards and not spewing excessively is what will always divide the big winners from breakeven grinder zombies.
Please add your points on How to Pwn doomswitch rules, and we can potentially move it to Main Poker if some good ideas are collected.
