who has the same problem as me ? 🤔
can someone give me some advice? 🙏
Hello brother.
You have to understand that if you win and lose everything at the same time, you no longer enter the so-called variance, but you already enter a problem that in most cases is against ourselves.
Winning an MTT or winning one day at a cash table does not mean that the next day you should lose everything. Good players don't do that.
I am still far from being a good player, but I will cite my example.
For some time now I have been building my bankroll with a lot of sacrifice.
It came from having a lot of days on the rise, until one day I lost 8 boxes of 100BB in cash in the same day.
The 1st thought was "disappointment". I told myself that this could not happen. Although when I got cold I started to see my hands and except for one that made a mistake, the rest were coolers or badbeats. That's where I realized that "this could happen".
I let that bad day go by, and the next day I played normally and not only recovered the 8 boxes from the day before but also won a total of 14 boxes in the day.
So I want to tell you with this. In poker what matters is not if you lose a box of 100 BB or if you lose an MTT in which you were going well, what matters is if you made the right decision at that moment. Because if you did this, there will be many more hands that you will win than those that you will lose, or the tournaments that you will win than those that you will lose.
In poker as in life itself, making the right decisions will result in far fewer headaches than making the wrong decisions.
A crucial mistake that every poker player, including myself, has made, is to play a tournament and win a few dollars and go play cash without knowing how to play cash. That's where you become a fully recreational player.
Another mistake is not knowing how to build a bankroll. For example, you win a tournament of US$20 like the CC ones, and you're automatically going to play two tournaments of US$10 each, or directly one of US$20 to see if Goddess Luck helps you. And that's a crucial mistake too.
Everything must go step by step, one level will lead you to another with care, patience, study and discipline.
My advice is to do a self-reflection, to know where the error is and you can always amend it.
My regards, brother
