GOOD!
I am on a bad swing at the moment and was wondering how to get through it. I ran great for like two or three weeks two months ago but cannot seem to catch a break since.
If you are on a downswing then do what I do: (1) Do not play as much (2) Play about every other day (3) On the off days, spend time studying the game and looking back at your hands from the previous day that may need to be analyzed, and post them here in the hand analysis sections.
I play the same starting hands as before,but get sucked out on!I really am starting to question my game and playing abilities!
No need to question it, just work to get better.
I am losing my nerve and have really tightened up! I am scared to call a lot of high bets when I have the odds on my side!
Don't start to tighten up just because you have been sucked out on a few times, but there is a possibility that the hands that you were "sucked out on" were not good hands to begin with
It seems like I will cash in two tiurnaments and not cash in ten.
That is natural, you are not going to cash in every tournament. A good cash rate is about 20-25%
I am playing the same starting hands as when I had my good swings.
Any advice would be a help for I feel my game is getting worse!
dont let it get worse. Pick up Harrington on Holdem and read like crazy. That seems to be the choice book around here
One more question!How is it that it seems that only one or two people hit there hands when you are at the table with them while you're sitting there looking at rags for starting hands?
answer: it happens, it will pass, it is just natural variance

Thnx,
you're welcome
