How many days a week do you have bad days?

toms02 · September 2013

Well basically just recently, i think i'm playing ok, and not really doing anything wrong, but i keep getting horrible cards i mean, i can have ak (suited) pocket aces pocket kings pocket queens, yet whatever i seem to do i fail, losing the pots on 9/10 even yesterday i was in a tournament, i was down on chips due to bad beats, i get an amazing hand in my eyes something to play with bare in mind i have 500 chips and blinds was at 100-200, i was on the BB, the person who was against me was on around 9.5k chips, i decide to go all in, he calls with a measly 5-10 unsuited, and guess what flops 5 10 A - 10 - 3, so yeah this seems to be happening to me a lot i get really bad beats that wouldn't win hands if i called them, but when i do get a hand to play with the person with the seemingly weaker hands tends to win, i do look for most cards, but sometimes if you have high pair and high kicker you can easily fold when theres no flushes or straights possible on the table?

So out of 7 days a week how many bad days do you have?

So far for me this week im on 7/7.

When you have 2.5xBB, it's unlikely you're gonna be able to make people fold pretty much any hand. If you got to that stack size by losing a big pot then that's fine, if you got there by folding down then error is with you in the 30-40 hands before where you just folded down.

I only play cash but you're gonna have periods of breaking even, periods of winning loads and periods of losing loads and the periods can last a reaaaallly time.

On average you're gonna get lucky as often as you get unlucky, so on average in 7 days you'd probably run ok for 2 days, run well for 2 days, run bad 2 days and you can share out the other day how you like. Obv it doesn't work like that tho.
