Finally ran bad today and lost 3.5 buyins in 200 hands. Nothing worked, nothing hit, and I made one spew by triple barell bluffing in a bad spot. Didn't get tilted at all, just played solid and won some of it back to have a 1.5 buyin loss.
Kind of a relief to run bad after running so good for a while. It wasn't feeling like real poker. To always win flips and nearly always hit flops that I can maneuver on was crazy. Everytime a shortstacker shoved if I had 99-JJ they'd have overs and miss. Finally today I get it in with JJ vs a shortstackers shove and he has AA.
It's like, this shit has to happen eventually. When it doesn't happpen for a long stretch of time I just start thinking "wtf, this isn't right". Also I played the last several months where I got nonstop raped by bad variance, so I'm much more accustomed to this stuff than the long heaters.
It was nice to play a session where I didn't run like god and still feel like I played well. I was worried that when I started to run even or bad that I'd lose my touch or mindset or that maybe I'm just winning only cause of a heater, but despite the rape being dropped on me in every hand I felt really confident. So it's reassuring to know that I'll be ok no matter how the variance comes.
Anyway, overall good month so far. Excited to keep playing. If I keep running bad I'll probably play some NL100 or NL50 HU. If I start running godly again I'll keep doing NL200.

ARE YOU LIVING IN OPPOSITE WORLD?
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same
