I have gone from cashing on a regular basis to getting outdrawn in what seams like most hands.....
It certainly effects your game, sometimes unknowingly and it's really hard to comprehend at times.
Are we doing anything differently?........
Perhaps not in the short term...but I think the effect of constant outdraws effects how we would usually play our game....sometimes we may be just too blind(Sorry for the Pun) to see it, but I certainly think (knowing we could be outdrawn) effects how we play our overall game.
Shortly I will put this theory into practice and play my usual game without fear of outdraws...and see what happens.
Its my Birthday (Today 10th Jan) so not sure if I will be on the tables or lying down on one slightly worse for the drink tbh
So when I'm sober enough to implement my theory I will keep you updated
Good luck at the tables ALL.
First of all Happy birthday Trev mate, hope you have a good one.
Your right about outdraws getting into players minds mate.
But thats all it is (in the mind). when i first started on sky i had a great first 2 months winning a primo and ukops within a ten day period along with a few other ok final tables but for the past 2-3 months all i seem to be doing is min cashing at best and alot of that is down to being outdrawn in some unreal situations.
Im not gonna start saying the site is rigged etc etc because i know that it is only variance and things will put themselves right when its time.
The best thing anyone can do when things are not going too well is to just put your head down and get on with it especially when talking about MTTs as the variance in those is huge and even the best players in the world will go through very bad spells of it.
The one fact that will always remain the same though is that if you keep doing things right you will always come out the other end smelling of roses.
Ive played poker now for around 11-12 years and in that time it has always been the same so the best thing to do is to make the most of the wins and great cashes when they do come along because you can bet your bottom dollar there is a bad spell of variance just waiting around the corner to come and bite you in the @ss
And always remember that when these guys are making the crazy calls and getting lucky v us they will continue to think they are doing something right
Best of luck all
Kev
Have a great day
Won't mention the hands, not much point!
Just not going right at the moment.
Thanks all for your advice but there's one thing that is really bothering me. The bad beats in the deepies like last night I can deal with cos deepies are my speciality. It's the bounty hunter thing that is really getting to me. Apart from winning a team bh/deepie and a FT in the £400gtd yonks ago my record in them is appalling. Last night the cost to me for the main and mini was about a fiver, if I could have taken just 1 head in the main I would have been very pleased, but apart from 1 early hand where I nearly doubled up I couldn't get any action when I raised pre. I tried playing slightly looser but I was just bleeding chips until I had to shove and got the bad beat.
I don't play a huge amount of bh's but the best I seem to do is 1 or 2 heads if I'm lucky and then I'm out. There won't be many bh regs that know my game but then I don't know their's so is that working against me? I would have thought my game gave me an edge over the looser players or am I wrong? I was given some advice by a winning bh player to not focus on heads try and buildd a stack and that is what I try and do but it never seems to work for me.
Any help would be more than welcome.
When on a downswing it naturally affects the mind and we start playing more passive on future streets as we're scared that they've just hit their straight or flush etc whereby when we're playing our A game we're still firing with better reads. Good luck today guys!
