Don't confuse bad play and bad luck. If you follow all the basic rules of poker, you can still lose. This is not a bad game. This is bad luck. I've been beaten on the last map lately. I'm losing all-ins with AA. I don't think this is a bad game. It doesn't depend on me. We must understand this and put up with it.

such periods always happen for everyone, that's why I had a period of more than a year and a half, not a single intelligible win, only deposits, I lost with A A, K K, Q Q and all this happened on all two sites where I played then

Yes, I would not say that I played too badly. It's just that during downswings it's a little hard to play psychologically.

since 2-3 weeks or so i am playing horribly . i dont know why to be honest

is that normal ? i mean the question might be too dramatic and i guess it is normal to have ups and downs but in my case the quality of my game really has shrunk extremely in the last couple weeks .....
When I get tired of poker, I start to play badly and I myself understand this. Breaks help me personally. When I start wanting to play again, my game gets better.

Everyone has bad days and even weeks. It's annoying and frustrating. And the only thing that really helps in such cases is a break.

When a losing streak lasts a long time, you need to take a break from the game, it helps.:)

So do you make bad decisions? Or are you just unlucky? The first can be changed, the second not. Just keep it up and practise patience, I would say.

Yes, of course, everyone has periods without victories. Someone longer, someone less. I fully agree with the previous comments that these periods come as soon as you win some tournament, a certain amount of money. After that, you immediately need a break, otherwise you will be left with nothing.

I have about 2-3 days somewhere in about 2 weeks where I play badly and I don't know why. It seems to me that I can't get my books and that I lose very easily.

I have periods when no matter how hard I try not to win anything, and periods no matter how badly I play, I win everything.

If honestly, this is a strange question... I think, Everyone has the periods, when he is playing bad and very bad, and etc...
Because we the all are not the computers or robots, but only the people!.. That's all!

Unfortunately, this is true for me at the moment :rolleyes:I'm not patient enough and catch myself tilting too quickly. Also has a lot to do with how balanced or stressed you are at the moment in privat I think…

Yes of course! I think that all the players have a bad time. In my opinion the best option is stop with the game, analyze the strategy and have more patience 😀

When I play with no fun involved I play bad. You have to enjoy playing or you get inpatient and play bad.

When your bankroll is high enough i try to bluff more often but i get caught a lot of times
So now even if py bakroll is good i play more carefully and choose good hands to try to win
enven if wins are less it's better than losses

Of course not!

It's always the cards which are wrong or the other players suck - never me. 🤣

It happens to the best of us.

I sometimes make calls when knowing I'm behind or I'm not getting the right odds.

But important thing is to learn from your mistakes. :)

If I have had periods in which I have played badly, and I know that I have done badly, these are things that should not happen, but unfortunately they do, you just have to know how to recover and not get carried away by a bad moment or a bad decision
