If you are depending a lot on luck, it means that you need to improve your game a lot, study and learn to play right in any situation, from then on you will depend much less on luck because you are playing right and making few mistakes, study the same the result.

hello guys, for 2 months I have been having a very bad streak, and sometimes playing is done more by impulse, but luck is not on my side...
good as you said bad days
and what do I do when I notice that nothing is going right the cards don't match the tops don't hit and on the river I always take that bead. I just go a few days without playing I give myself some time and refresh my mind

Good question. I have serious problems with that. I always blaim the game credibility about the unbelieveble bad beats in a row.
Recently, only losses for me. I think I had lost the hand.

Such situations happen in poker quite often. At the initial stage, this is very annoying, but then to the decline of the game, as a rule, you are calm. I take a short break, rethink the game and keep playing.

Yes, it happens. There are long down streaks. There is no way to avoid them, you just need to endure

Are you sure it's bad luck? Are you playing correctly?

Did you analyze the hands?

If yes to both answers it could be a scam, but if it's a bad week, just variance.

Take it easy, and know when to stop. Many times it ends up getting lost once and tries another and another and another, and the money goes away along with patience and the tendency is to make more mistakes. Create a limit, I stop after losing two, but when the interval between them was a short time, the tendency is to get more anxious and want to grow the bankroll quickly.
It usually works for me.

You must understand that in a game like poker, your failures do not mean that you are not playing well. It just confirms the fact that even the best poker strategy doesn't always work. Poker is a game where everyone can win. The variance of your wins/losses can vary from session to session, despite the fact that you play the same tactics. Unfortunately, any successful month can screw up bad beats, followed by downswings. The psychology of playing poker is such that we tend to remember more negative than positive, until we have reached some heights, that is, we have not disrupted any tournament. Therefore, when you were moved, and specifically, try to remember something good.

Usually I will stop playing for a while if I’m getting nothing but beat up at the tables it’s very easy to get sucked into playing to long and losing your cool best thing to do is take a break… just advice though 🙂 good luck at the tables ❤️

When I have a bad streak, I prefer to give myself some time, and be able to come with a fresh mind and with more desire to win. You have to turn the page and come with a lot of faith and desire that everything will turn out well, you have to be positive

Try to take a break and analyze your game and your mistakes and get back into the game. LOL

Read books, it will help. "The mental game of poker" is really good one.

For some reason that I can't explain, the bad moments in poker are much more than the good ones,
despite all this the game never ceases to excite us :)

I have to control when I'm in a bad streak, because I play bigger tournaments and lose all my money.

Sometimes it happens, such periods happen to every player. However, do not count on luck. It is better for you to focus on yourself, on your skills and experience. This will help you have better results in the long run.

My bad straight has lasted about 10 months, not fun anymore. At some point this has to stop - studying and researching previous tournaments.

Either be patient and keep plugging away or walk away from the tables and take a break. If you are getting it in good then you are probably playing fine.

Play less, study more.

There will always be ups and downs in poker.

Personally, to me it makes sense to ‘make hay when the sun shines’ - so I will generally try to put in more volume when running well and less inclined to play when things are going against me.

If we try and force our way through a downswing, it just becomes akin to bashing your head against a brick wall, don’t do this.


Take a break, study, analyse, come back another day with a fresh, clear, positive mind and see how you go. ;)
