Recently I've been 4 tabling NL5 trying to build a roll and today I had pretty much the worst, longest, gayest session of my life.
I kept telling myself it would turn around but obviously, it didn't and I just feel exhausted.
It looks fucking horrible and even the EV line is in the negative but I feel like it doesn't even cover how bad I felt like I ran today. Even if the EV line covered it all I am running 10 buyins below EV. But that's not the case. I just could not catch a break and seemed to be running into monsters I thought they couldn't really have due to preflop/flop actions when I had second or third nut type hands. Or I would 3bet pre, get called OOP, half pot flop, half pot turn setting up for a river shove, and then have the fish river two pair for his A7 or some bs. Add this to consistently losing flips and 70/30's and it just sucked today.
It's even worse because I kept taking little breaks to relax and keep my cool and I was telling myself to just play solid and that downswings happen. I was pretty non tilted, at least in the monkey tilt department. Even now I feel pretty calm about it but fuckkkkkkk.. the graph just looks awful and I'm wondering if a winning player can even run this bad at NL5. :/.
Anyways, this is my month(ish) so far...
Stats
Anyone have any advice? Kill myself? Hahaha. Does this just happen sometimes? 10,000 hands isn't impossible for a swing like this, but I know the bigger your winrate the less likely this stuff happens... :/. Ok well I'm going to bed.
enjoy

One thing I am coming to learn along with you is you can't be results oriented. If you analyze your play and you feel it is strong, continue playing. Bad luck can't last forever.

I'm pretty damn confident you played bad. A solid player would be running 10 buy ins below ev that sess and might be down 3 buyins or up 2 or something.
TBH i'm surprised ur not down more in the last 30k hands. If you are even down at all.
Be prepared for more losses though unless u fix ur game and let ur red line drop down a shitload more and steadily in a limit full of calling stations.
