It is obvious that poker is a game of luck, imagine, besides having to wait for two good cards, we should have the luck of the board to collaborate. Without such luck until the AA can easily lose by an AJs. Patience, luck, persistence are some of the values a good player must have.

I felt my poker game has changed since the beginning. I used to be passive and loose which resulted in too many hands played but did not know what to do when not making a hand. Now more tight aggressive but with more bad beats. I felt that I made appropriate adjustments but I end up losing anyway.

Ive had a bad downswing after a couple early cashes in SCOOP then played crazy as tilt I suppose. Im trying to get leveled back out before my bankroll is beyond repair.
Im going to back up on my studying and go back over some subjects I was doing well with before the downswing. Then Ill redo all my last subjects once Im back on track.

When new ideas are discovered that will improve your game you have to make adjustments, but these need to be gradual.
The biggest mistake is to think this one new idea means you have the key.
You use new ideas to build on what you already know.
If your are losing focus I cannot recommend highly enough, anything written by Tommy Angelo.
His Waiting For Straighters is free and it will take a way your Cgame.

when i just started i played very aggressive and never mix it or anything ,but now i play with more with 'think it out' and i bluff more:flute: becouse i see it more prov this why ,i dont maybe it seem like that to just meI was just wondering if anyone else has changed their game too much. I have been doing a lot of studying lately and it feels like my game has been lost. Maybe I made many changes to fast because I seem to be playing worse. I did see some improvements at first and then I thought I needed to change my entire game.

I heard somebody hear on Cardschat comment that confidence is a great personality attribute to successful play. I think it certainly plays a role in success and growth over time because without it, decision making or evaluating decisions becomes erratic.
One article I read was based on the complication of understanding how to evaluate performance.
It cited this can be very difficult without data sets. Yet, even with data sets, interpretation often goes without opponent tendencies and other various table elements. Further complicated by variance, coolers, bad beats and hindsight biases.
Having a strategy and defined process for decision making is critical. Perhaps even writing it out. By having these two elements, a person can investigate a particular area of play, better interpret data, recall mistakes and lessons better, integrate concepts and ask intelligent questions which they can seek answers for.

I find that when I spend too much time studying, my game is negatively affected for a period of time. I think this is because I'm trying to implement too much into my game at the same time and find myself double and triple guessing myself and wind up in some really weird spots. Studying for short periods (maybe a couple of hours) on one specific aspect and then implementing that is much more beneficial to me than cramming for days and then trying to change a dozen things.

I had to revamp my game a few times. First I was loose passive. Then after balk of my play style was tight aggressive. Now I am a hybrid of TAG and small ball. Since players are extremely loose I had to change my gameplay according the players.

I've had this happen many times when I do too much studying, not enough playing, and forget what works in real life because I get lost in theory.
This is why many pros advocate at most a 50/50 study to play ratio.
You'll probably find when you get back to playing for an extended period and take a break from all the studying that things make sense and you remember what works.
Your understanding of the game is worth a lot, and it's important to value what you've built up over the years. Always be wary of throwing away your solid fundamentals THAT YOU KNOW WORK WELL for the hottest rage or newest trend in theory.
Hope that helps, good luck and happy stackin champ!

I think your game always should change as poker changes. It can be confusing at times because you don't play as well when trying new things and it tough because money is involved. I think it's good to not stay stagnant and be lineal in your play. Down swings are going to happen, but you just have to keep your composure and regroup as best as you can. I've been learning some new things lately myself and it's frustrating when things don't work out how you'd like so I totally understand. Keep on studying and implementing as best as you can. Hoping things get better for you.

What can I say .... I think a certain type of game depends on the players we meet at the game table. To be honest: I change my style of play depending on the players I'm at the table with ... depending on how they play ... I'm trying to adapt.
