That type of run bad where you can't make anything but your opponent makes at least a pair every hand, but proceeds to cooler you when you finally do make a hand. Repeat for about 10k hands and you have this graph.
Not really going to complain too much about it, I was really upset earlier in the month but like a drug addict in rehab, eventually you get to a state of reluctant acceptance and you just try to figure out wtf else you can do from there. That downward spike earlier on was especially painful because I was playing 10 20 and up 3k at one point and immediately lost 4 buy ins running terrible. I blame myself a bit for not sticking to my stop loss at times, def could've gotten the damage below 5 figures if I did.
I found this vid pretty helpful during my downswing:
I don't think I'm downswinging anymore since I've dropped a stake and am recovering my money back slowly, so I'm not too worried. I lost 8 nights in a row at one point and that definitely got to me mentally, but I spent two awesome weekends in Vegas (including halloween weekend just now) which saved me sorta . But I did lose a lot at table games (god I run sooo bad flipping in those) so my oct count is something like -16k. So I had an awesome 30k month, then +15k, then -16k so basically 10k averaged out over the past 3 months, still can't complain but it definitely ruined my hopes for a 150k year. I always say this, but I'm definitely going to try to put in more hands this month and study a lot more since I've basically not done any of that for a couple months now. GL in nov.
Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol
