**Jackles Getting serious CASH Thread**

[Matt Vaughan]

Against unknown at these limits I GII. I'm not fist-pumping or anything though.

Next hand.

 

[Jackle43]

well I went all in and ofcourse he showed up with QT haha, Just the same things that has been happening all month!
So im guessing it was a thin call but the right one???
That ace had really bad implied odds for me because If i just had that king and he shoved turn easy fold...

 

[Jackle43]

Alright need a little vent.
Past month cannot stack a single fish. Run into top of everyones range.. and i keep getting hands that are super hard to get away from I flop a straight vs a set and of course they turn a full house. I know its variance because after reveiw im not spewing or anything, not a great poker player but not a 2nl fish i dont think. On a 10BI down swing with basically no +sessions in the past month. Because its 2nl its really hurting all confidence in my game because it feels like I cant beat the lowest cash in poker at the moment even though I know I can... Any ideas to get the confidence back? even while the variance hits me?
And I know the whole getting money in good you should be happy haha

Anyone up for a sweat because I need some support!

Aside of cut couple tables not much to do if after review your game you think not playing bad.
Maybe switch to FR couple days until downswing pass could be good because less variance.

Edit.

I remember reading a sugestion about try to play BE poker when running like crap, like don´t take flips, fold when don´t hit,
tight your range. After bad time pass get back to regular play. Let me see if find the read.

Will read in a bit Thankyouu!

 

[Jackle43]

That was a good read, really was. Think I will have a go at Full ring today and maybe add a few more tables like 6-7 Full ring rather then my 4 6max tables?
Sound fair?

 

[AlfieAA]

How's the pokerz going man, you not digging 4 tables 6max?

 

[Jackle43]

Poker right now is killing me. haha Nah I love the 4 tables 6max but this downswing is killing me so im thinking of moving to full ring for a while just to see how it goes. Hopefully be back at 6max soon though.
Just hard to comprehend that a 10bi downswing at 2nl is possible without really bad play.. haha

 

[AlfieAA]

Ah man 10bi's sorry to hear that.....are you tilting once you lose a couple of buy ins and playing with less confidence, chasing your losses?....maybe post a few hands in here and the guys will have a look.....eh, yeah prob best to go back to FR and build some confidence and your BR again....its deffo easy to drop bi's at 6max and especially if you are not running good...I've done it myself, its not a good feeling, makes ya feel like shit doesn't it.....yeah you will be fine man, dont give up, keep at it, it will all come good for you....or you could maybe play 2 tables at 6max, did you jump to 4 tables from 1?

Just had a 6 table session of FR feel comfortable there. Bunch of players that seem to crack when they face aggression. Tightening up though seeing its FR but still keep a 6max aggression up!
Um nah tilt isnt my problem I usually quit pretty quick when I feel tilted. And no I played from 1 table to 2 and kept adding to 4
there really arent to many hands that have been of interest its just all standard suck outs haha

 

[AlfieAA]

Cool, I'm playing FR again too, just started with 5nl, dont want to go on 6max and spew it all away haha....yeah, try and pick juicy tables with a few fish and pick spots to exploit them...a good one is that if the limp before you and you have a decent hand that dominates their limping range then just isolate and get heads up with the fish, instead of waiting for perfect hands...I found that got me on abit quicker at 2nl.....good stuff, good to see you're not tilting, not an easy thing to master lol...gl and crush the bitches

Haha thanks Alfie. Well session was going good, but variance slaps me in the face again!

KK looses to JJ twice as they hit runner runner flushes... Really? How long is this going to happen for? Got it All in good so Im happy but bit crushed that nothing can withstand weaker hands at the moment..
God this thread is turning into a cry thread.
Anyone keen for a sweat soon?!

 

[Jackle43]

Really want to do a sweat with someone. Please get back to me if anyone is keen sometime tomorrow.

 

[Jackle43]

Gross, atleast im not actually back at even im still up $20 from original bankroll but my history got deleted from a computer crash

 

[micromachine]

10 buy-in downswings are par for the course I'm afraid. Keep going (as long as you're not tilting) and your heater will come along soon!

God im looking forward to this heater haha, needs to be soon I guess. Its not tilting I dont think its variance and probably a bit of bad play, but most of the time I have got it in I have reviewed and got it in good! So not sure, just a struggle to keep the confidence at the moment
and the graph shows its a slow gradual dive so its no crazy sessions of just spewing it all away

 

[duggs]

hey man, dont take this the wrong way but chill out about the variance. you need to just ignore it. i know thats its likely a pride thing about getting out of the micros, but **** it, you play poker to have fun primarily (i know thats why i do) so dont let these results ruin that. obviously you can crush these stakes and its just a matter of time, so chill out, do some study, put some good tunes on and grind, and most importantly dont get upset about having to post downers or losing bi's on your graph.

I know man I know, But it is hard for me at the moment haha sorry if it is getting annoying!
And dont take the hand above as a "Look at this bad Beat" I actually just put it up to see what you think he is repping with the shove and what I should of made it pre?

Thanks for the advice anyways man

All fine imo. At higher limits against decent players I might find a fold on that flop, but not here. His shoving range is other overpairs (which you beat all of except AA and that would 3bet pre), FDs (you're good against them too, pretty mch flipping vs AcXc though) and sets (not loads of combos and you made your 3bet big enough that he shouldn't really be calling pre with low PPs but you never know).

i dont think im folding here tbh. when he jams it just looks like a FD or TT spazzing out.


In for a sweat. PM me ur skype.

10BI down swing over how many hands? Did you buy a HUD? if not, download PT4 as a trial asap.

Its been over around 3500 hands.

 

[Matt Vaughan]

Jackle if you want I can PM you my skype and send you a pic of my worst downswing. I sometimes look at "famous" people's downswings to feel better, but it feels more realistic to look at someone's who I know is similar to me, at similar limits, etc.
