So i began to keep track of my sessions at 1/2 limit. After just under 1000 hands, i am down about 64 BB. I have had several small winning sessions but 3 large losing sessions. Had a 50BB swing yesterday (in the negative) and i'm getting frustrated. Should i be concerned?? I feel like i am playing poker by the book, and i continue to try not to be too predictable as well.
Cards have been crap and everytime i flop a good hand i get outdrawn by two low suited cards or a low pocket pair hitting a full house. I finally get AQ and my lone opponent has AK. I can't seem to hit flops to save my life!! Sorry about the rant, but when should i really begin analyzing my results in terms of # of hands? I refuse to drop limits because then there is even more chasing going on.
Large swings (for the bad) are tough in limit because you know to comeback it is going to take forever. Will the cards get better lol???
You should've played those kings Mike..........
You're an a**hole..........
I know..........

-64BB over 1k hands is just noise.

I drop 50BB in 100 hands every now and then.

you're right, 1 and 10 aren't much, 1000 and 10000 are slightly more useful
