Volume is your friend.

You will lose hands even when you go in with best hand.

The more you play the more it will even out and if you normally get it in good, you will win in the long term.

I've played over 6000 Dyms now and have at times won 18 in a row and at others lost 11 in a row. Swings will happen and you just have to ride it out when you're running bad.

Be careful not to move up stakes too quickly. Make sure you have adequate buy ins to withstand having a bad run.

when moving up the stakes what i did was start by just launching 1 table with the higher stakes and having the others remain as they were because i can start off with getting to know how the high stakes are also i will still have the confidence of knowing that if i were to loose my full buy inform that table it is unlikely to hurt so much as i will probably have got it back through the lower stakes tables.
then once i am getting into a consistant habit of profit from the higher stakes table then start launching more.

thank u mate I just struggle with bad beats as well if I want to progress as a poker player I no I have to get over this time will tell lol

sounds to me like you have a bankroll management problem if your losing your roll regular, if your a dym player then i would reccomend you have a minimum of 20 buy ins for the level you play that way if your half decent you wont go bust.

This isn't a particularly helpful contribution, but...

Losing with AK to JT isn't a bad beat. It's a lot closer to losing a flip.

Aren't you on holiday at the moment? Chill out with a nice film. Here's a TRAILER I saw yesterday. Reckon this film could be a multi Oscar winner!

Darn it, I guessed a ten. Oh well...

Iceman, bad runs happen. Had my fair share. All we can do is keep looking at our game and making that as optimal as well can.

Also I'm not sure why your bankroll is disappearing when you move up stakes, when our rolls get to a certain point to move up yes of course move up. However when they go down a bit we should move down again if we are interested in using proper BRM.

Good luck.

Also 8 out of 10 is not always.

Lambert180 · July 2013

I think he means 8 of the 10 times he gets it in good (2 times he gets it in bad) but of the 8, he always loses lol.

OP, go and look at my diary for some brutalments

Sometimes it happens for reaaaally long periods of time and it can get pretty soul crushing when it's been going on for weeks but there really is nothing you can do about it other than play the best poker you can and hope it turns round sometime soon.
