Has anyone else experienced this. I was playing cash games and the odd tournament and found I was doing poorly at tourny's so I stuck to cash and built my bankroll. Then went on a bit of snide so I thought hey play a couple tourny's. What do you know I cleaned up was in the money quite often even winning some. Then I started heating up at cash games again and now my tournament play seems to be in the toilet.
Has anyone else experienced this? By the way I practice fairly well br management. I bought in for $50 at stars two months ago and just cracked $500 today!  No big deal for most, but I felt it was a lot of grinding.
Cheers,
Dave

yup. happens all the time to me.
i even add in a little limit..just to shake it up. when one is running bad, i switch, and seem to get a new set of cards on the other game.
lol...online poker is rigged. you knew that, right?

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.
Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Well done on the increase in your BR!
The thing about poker is that the variance (both up and down) can be pretty savage. Don't draw too many conclusions from these ups and downs, one swallow doesn't make a summer
That said, tourneys (particularly SNGs) and cash games are very different games and there can be significant adjustment between the two.

lol, not me! Although I've had a little teeny tiny bit of success playing cash games, I've found that for whatever reason I'm much much much better in tourneys. If I get bored with the tourneys or none are availalbe (although this obviously only applies to brick & mortar casinos since this is NEVER the case online) I seem to do pretty well with smaller limit ring games. But NL cash games aren't really my thing.
