There's running bad and then there's this.....................
As above. Havent had a winning session in around 10 weeks. Beyond ridiculous. Utterly demoralised.
Whats the longest perpetual downswing that you guys have been on?
Heard Scotty Nyugen went on a 2 year run where he just lost and lost and lost at everything.
Saw an interesting clip of negranue t'other evening on a Top tip type thing. May even have been on sky.
Something along the lines of "If you ever think that you've plugged all the leaks in your game and dont need to keep learning, you've basically lost your way". Think this is likely part of the issue. But am also getting majorly coolered, binked upon and cold decked.

it got to the point where i was convinced someone could see my hole cards
and was scamming me
It turn around though and i cashed in a dym for £2.00...:)
now assume for one minute you are a small losing player in the game
So
Wasnt a criticism on online poker bud. Am losing at everything Live and online. As stated in OP, I think a decent portion of the issue is my game just now.
Lost all confidence and ability to read well. Its just all compounded whatever problem there is.
As far as the angry PM, I thought it was fully justified
Just wanted to see others long downswings, to comfort myself - and perhaps see how it altered their minset.
how much negativity did it introduce to your game?
Am mostly MTT/SG player so am maybe more risk averse than the cash players. But am just nt even enjoying sitting down to play anymore. Am in a complete defeatist state of mind.
Another reg friend of mine is going through the same scenario just now, so chatted about it last night over a few beers. Can talk about needing PMA but its bloody hard when your getting 3 outered in every critical pot
But either way, my game has definately lost its way and I'm not sure what to do with it. Again this is live, maybe more so than online. Just cant see straight enough to make proper decisions - even basic decisions regarding fundamental things. Definately all over the place.
Play through or break? Dont know whats best. Obviously been through downswings frequently. But this is just above and beyond.
Maybe try limp jamming dem Acey Kingey :-p and not giving up on clearly +ev spots.
But am kind of getting to the point of dreading playing, again live and online. Never really felt like that before. Normally very comfortable at all but my peak BI's. Outcome regardless. Cant be good.
My game is just wrong though. Won the utter min with quads in a 7 way pot last night. Then VB river 2 pr on 4flush & 4straight board vs two opponents. Just sooo bad lol.
