A lot of you guys are still winning pretty hard even tho the game got tougher, much respect, very far from being my case. Dropped 5k today at NL400, very hard to take, it's (un)funny I remember I was going to sit out when I had KK vs AA and decided just to try regrind it up, lost a couple of pot and down it went and very fast. Right at that point I had some tilt in me and maybe lost one or two BIs because of tilt in marginal spots. It has been I think 6 or 7 times I tried to stand up to this downswing and play good, watched some DC and CR videos to get back in the mood. Going to another site on ipoker network just went as poorly as the last one. I hope you have an idea I would really really love to able to brag about a good month or day, but there just hasn't been any. My winning days have been 1 or 2 bis, while my losing have been 4-5bis +. It's been some really hard month for me especially since poker has a direct effect on my life. I do feel incredibly pathetic to write over and over the same things in my blog but tonight was a really bad day and I just felt like writing a word about it.
It's really so unreal, like I always had huge downswing I probably don't have a sick edge or anything but god it's not changing direction at all. I would really like suggestion or help or anything but as far as everything went I've not been able to apply them.
I really just fucking can't put myself together after so many burned dollars. When I was losing at poker before I did put myself back on the track and started winning at some point. Now even if I can forget the absolutely horrifying feeling I have all the time in my mind and go play good poker, I run/play bad(whatever makes me lose) and eventually all the same pattern goes down without ever having any result to break the stupid circle.

come on tilted fish you shouldn't say that
oddeye i know exactly how you feel and i'm going through the same thing
winning days are like 1-2 bi and my losing days are 4-5 bi++ for me and it's been going on for the past month and a half
things haven't been changing and i try to watch DC and CR vids
but i think in the end things will all turn around in the end and you will be back on track |

write off your loss, and move. down.
you're just donating, you have to feel like you are killing the games.
move down to NL5 and play the game, play better than the other people in your games. play seriously JUST for the sense of winning, not the money. grind out a hand sample |

I know what you are talking about but my energy is already drained from putting effort at nl400. I am certainly not just donating, fuck I've been donated quite a few times and ipoker decided to donate to them instead. I do think I need a serious drop in limit, aka playing nl200 (nl5? wtf u talking about) until I reroll what I lost today (25 bis, FUCK MY LIFE) but I am of course really really really really really fed up with poker in any sens but I am just addicted and unable to quit and go do something else and it's wearing me down more and more so now I feel totally unhealthy. |

I REALLY suggest getting coached
it changes your perspective and has a way more direct effect than watching vids |

I would take a 2 week break from poker to start with. After that I would go down one limit (NL200) and make 10 BI or w/e just to feel that I am still good at poker.
I have done this several times in a downswing and it has worked well for me! The motivation goes up, I get rid of the tiltfeeling and I also get a new perspective on poker in general. |

Move down. Seriously stop being a pussy.
Move down, take a break, get your mind set, or else we all know where you'll be going. You want it ? Fine don't listen to us then.

main point i was trying to make was to take the money out of the picture, and focus on winning the GAME. moving down to a limit where the money means nothing will do this for you, your only motivation to win will be to prove to yourself that you can make the right adjustments to win "points" in the game you are in. like laddering in SC. also winning at NL5 will take a different approach than winning at NL400, it will help open your eyes to ways you can adapt when you move back up. |
