Bricked every single tournament. Only one of them when I went in behind. Lost 90% of my flips including 3 within about 10 minutes in the SPT Quarter Final when I was chip leader including a 5k pot AK v AJ which would have seen me into the semi final definitely.
Running so so bad.
Cash started off terribly too. I was down about £300 early yesterday as on a shorthanded table I got aggressive with my 1010 to see myself up against QQ losing a full BI at 100nl... and lost another BI SB v Button where I thought villain was light - he was on the flop until he hit is miracle trips on the river. The 3rd BI i lost I had flopped the flush draw and gutshot in an inflated pot pre and got it in to see myself up against trips, missing my outs on the turn and river.
Then I hit a nice run of cards including....
And a number of other smaller pots which added up to a decent profit on cash last night.
I played 20nl with hhft.., Jac and Lambert and ran quite well. Ended up +2.5bi's I think. Really enjoyed it though. Its nice to have a table which talk and have a bit of a joke whilst playing. Would definitely be up for playing more games like that one.

Someone stop me!
Running bad... playing worse.
If youre gunna play a sat why dont you just play the semi?
At least you have a better chance than just pure luck?
Its been brutal. I havent had one single cash in about 3/4 days.... I cant seem to win any crucial flips at the minute.
Even though MTTs have been...well... pretty terrible...
Cash is saving me.
That £200 odd i lost on MTTs? Back in the account. Boom. Now if i could maintain my good run in cash thatd be nice...
Tried satting into SPT... lost an all in KKv99.
Tried satting into the UKOPS.... lost an all in AK v AJ.
Tried playing the Primo. Lost A10 v AQ on AQ10 board.
Tried playing deepstack... Lost all in 1010 v 99.
I am running so god dam bad its unreal. And whats worse is that im trying to overcompensate for it, which is causing me to try and bluff in spots i wouldnt normally... and folding spots id usually continue.
Urgh. Just terrible this week. Absolutely awful.
Just did 3 buy ins on 100nl in about 10 minutes.
First one was all in pre JJ v 1010. Yep 10 on the flop.
Second one was a bit spewy tbf.
Third one I got it in on a flop to see villain river FH against my flush. N1.
Done.
May be taking a break at this rate.
Yeah think thats in my thinking anyway.
I just cant win anything at the minute.... nothing. Never in my life have I lost so many 70/30, 60/40 or even 50/50 flips in such a short period.
I know I could have saved myself 1 buy in tonight which was total spew not long after my JJs got done by the 10s after he 5 bet shipped it - argument for folding yes but villain is much less inclined to do it this deep with AA/KK and its much more likely to be AK/QQ/1010. Took a gamble. I was right, but it didnt pay off.
Havent cashed in an MTT in a week now either. Times are tough.
Got bust in the deep stack early doors when I shoved AQ and got looked up by someone fancying a gamble with 109. N1. Tilted a bit and just went a bit mental in main.
Cant be arsd anymore. Just gunna stick my BR on red and see where it gets me. Probably have a better chance of winning that than I do any other kind of flip at the minute.
And always bet on black.
Not sure im over thinking anything. Although I probably am chasing and Im definitely getting frustrated.
Its odd... the game that I was winning tonnes on not two weeks ago, im now losing in equal measures. Its hard to deal with because I dont know whats changed for the swing to move the other way. Its easy to call it variance but maybe ive altered something minor which has had drastic effects... I just dont know what! That is what im getting more frustrated with... i cant pinpoint why im losing.
Chances are you're not doing anything different from a week or two ago but that's how brutal the game can be. Just gotta try not to let it get to you (which is WAY easier said than done) and just slog it out. I'd say reduce number of tables but think you said you only play 2, maybe step down a level or two
That one session was bad yes but in general im doing quite well in it. This is solely down to tournaments... tournaments which i usually play... tournaments which i usually do ok in.... tournaments that I havent managed a single cash in about a week - probably about 70 of them.
So dropping down a level etc, relating to cash is kinda not the point here. FWIW im dropping cash at the minute anyway cause i think its screwing with my MTT game somewhat.
Dont really need/want the 'I told you so post' atm mate. Not feeling it even if its well-intended.
Not saying youre wrong. I probably should play tighter and more ABC poker than I am at the minute, but i think i still go broke in 95% of the same spots. We shall see over the coming days/weeks.
I hate reading these sorts of things, because really a lot of it is just coming from the way we're thinking - which might not always be rational.
Thought I'd take a quick look at your Sharkscope to see how bad the MTTs have been treating you. If you take the last week then yes it looks pretty brutal, and as you say you've lost the vast majority of flips etc. But winning maybe one of these big flips and we can get a big spike.
If you look at your results relative to where you were 10 days ago, you're break-even. Being break-even when we're way behind on variance is a decent result! If you look at your results relative to where you were on 1st September then you're doing great!!
Point is, the base point is pretty arbitrary, all that matters is that you're a winning player. As long as you keep doing what you've been doing up until now, you should be fine. Don't start taking unecessary gambles to try to chase that streak. Changing a winning formula would not be advisable.
Hope it turns, sure it will.
Underbet the turn... why?
Who the hell knows why? Maybe i was nervous of getting c/r all in. Making of my own downfall at times.
Yeah im hoping for it to turn around asap with UKOPS right round the corner and the possibility of SPT. One win puts all this to bed, as usual... its just difficult when you hit the tables and your consistently losing what seems like every single hand (obv not).
Just wondering if the winning formula has changed in the last week. Perhaps i got a bit too aggressive as my September results were very good and I just assumed theyd continue. Hmmmm i dunno. I'm not playing tomorrow as the footy is on. I'll be back on for the rebuy main on wednesday - one I quite like as if I lose a flip I can just re-enter! Watch out BR here I come!!
