[chanman83]

I'm doing that right now!! I've lost TODAY 500 bucks in like 3 hrs!! twice I had the best hand to lose on some bullshit river!!! Suggestions?? I really can't put anymore in my acct for a week or so. Only thing I got left rith now is to make it in the money for a touney at 4pm.. I know some of guys could have exp what I'm going thru right now.. Best solution to get out of this tilt?

Switch to penny poker (go down a few levels) or stop playing for a day or two.

Welcome to variance. What stakes were you playing at?

o Drop down in stakes
o Re-evaluate the stakes you're playing at relative to your bankroll
o Take the oportunity to re-evaluate your game. What could you have done differently?
o Take a break.

I also find switching up games works. I frequently bounce between LHE, NLHE, 7CS and Heads-Up SnGs. Sometimes I hit the rare SnG, but I've never been a big fan of the format. It keeps my head fresh and away from playing crap hands out of bordem.

Speaking of which had an evil 7CS hand recently. I brought it in and had trips on 4rth and a baby boat on 5th. I'm ramming and jamming like mad with 2 fish calling me all the way down. Both make boats on the river, one was bigger (he had 2 pair until then) bringing in an over 20 BB pot...

Well THAT didn't happen.. GEE how much WORST can my day go! pre-flop JJ and I go all-in.. everyone else folds.. Guy comes in and has pocket 10s and calls.. showdown..

9,q,2,10,a TODAY SUCKS!!! i'm not playing for a couple of days .. dammit!

I guess it happens. I had a horrible day yesterday, though I took a break and worked at choosing better tables. I was able to find tables with loose betters and won a few all ins. Now I'm up around 250 today alone.

Honestly I think i have the best hand I go all out but then after I see I lost I see that what the person did (re-raising, etc) I should of picked up on but didn't. I think I"m way over my head or I'm just playing stupid
o Take a break.
Will do for like a week prob

From what I hear the .5/1 NL is much softer. Also, I've had *several* 10 buy-in downswings at .25/.5 NL, which would be a $1000 swing at that level. Dropping 3-4 buy-ins isn't that big of a deal for me. I just review hands and jump right back in.

[johnnyawe]

Yeah, I've definitely lost a couple hundred bucks in a 3 hour period playing 0.5/1.0 blinds. I think that losing $500 in one day at 1/2 blinds is to be expected.

[chanman83]

hey guys thanks for your advice.. I changed places to Poker stars cause my firepay addy is different from party poker. Also.. I went down BIG time.. maybe it was just out of my league right now so i ps I am playing .25/.50 to get me out of the tilt.. after a GREAT gym workout I feel much better!
