Was wondering if you some of you all lets say, go to your poker site and your playing and the cards are running bad, do you get out and go to another site to see if your luck changes, or do you just say the hell with it, I quit for the day. Was kind of curious as to if your just having a bad poker day, does it reflect on all sites you play at.

If I am playing cash I might switch tables or change from say NLHE to PLO...if playing tourney gotta just ride it out or will stop for the day...I can change sites because have money on 3 different ones but really haven't done that...

I was having an awful day today the cards just were not coming.

So I shut down my laptop and cleaned the house. It did not help my poker but the house is happy :D

When I used to have money on multiple sites, I would multi-table with tables from both sites. As I now only have $ on one site, my only option is to shut it down...

The best thing to do is take a break and come back the next day. If you had some horrible beats on one site, chances are you are on tilt and will just bring that to the other site.

When i am not getting cards i open up my range a little. I pay extra attention and try and really focus on the game. A break even day with no cards is like a win imho.

I nearly ended my bad day with a payout yesterday. I busted 12 places before the bubble. It was not a good day of poker for me.

I will see what today brings, if I get the same result I will take a break from the game.

I had to close my range yesterday and play extra tight and only raised with monster hands. I normally raise it up when I hit AK but every time I had it yesterday I lost. I don't like folding these cards but I didn't see a choice. I only played AA KK JJ when I actually got them and ended up going all in because of the blinds with 78o. Thank god I only play freerolls :D

Sometimes, I just change tables. Most of the time though I just quit for that day! Rarely do I change pokersites when I decide to really play. Although, once in a blue moon I stay on that bad luck table and just freaking go with it until my luck turns around lol!

That sounds very familiar. I used to go to another site and see how the cards are running if they are bad at one site, they run bad at another site too. So, I just say hell with it and quit for the day. If the cards run bad on one site they run bad on others too.

I don't change tables that often, but I also don't sit there stubbornly when I get the feeling to move. Sometimes it's for a half-decent reason; e.g. if someone has my number that day, I avoid the temptation to target him when I really shouldn't. Other times, I may not be able to put my finger on anything specific; I just feel like I want to move, so usually I do.

I've been there done that ,I tried switching tables,switching sites, just seems to follow you around ,can't figure it out if your card dead on one site why it's the same on an other, even if its not the same skin, I've learned to just call it quits for the day and watch a movie on net flix or anything else but poker !!

You can try going to another site, but it probably won't work. You're the one having a bad day not the poker site.

I just switch to PLO or multitable.

I don't play on more than one site. So I have no option unless I play freerolls at ACR.

i will switch to a different game and work on my skills so if losing atleast im learning.lol. i find that if im not on my game sites dont make a difference so just take a break. now if im in cash games i usually open 4 tables and eventually end up with 1 because i will eliminate the ones that i seem to be running bad at..very rarely will i run good on more than 2. hmmmmmmmm

Nothing wrong with a change of scenery, if that helps you manage tilt. But aside from possibly better table selection, changing sites won't affect how good/bad you run. EV is EV and a random shuffle is a random shuffle, it doesn't matter where you go. Don't let confirmation bias distort your view of what variance really is.
