Im in a complete slump right now. Over the past 3 days I lost 7 hondo playing 100 n/l. Mainly because I kept running into big hands. KK vs. AA type of hands, or I would get outdrawn, or can't flop anything for at least an hour. Anyway I feel like I lost all my confidence and I feel horrible. Anyone has the same experience??? I've lost my mojo!!!

Yes. I went through two weeks of this in April. It sucks. Realize that it really is variance--sometimes you just don't get the cards, or get the cards at the wrong time, and don't get paid off on your good hands. There's nothing you can do about it.

Also the mindset this slump has probably put you in is messing your game up even more than the cards are. Take a day off, or play at a site/game you don't usually play. Mix it up.

Happens to me often, usualy co-insides with poker 'burnout' and i take 4-7 days off, read a poker book, really helps.
Experimenting - 200NL 5max.

I've been more or less in such as state for the past two months. Of course it doesn't help I've been almost perpetually on tilt during that time.
