re: Poker & Losing streak?
I'm nearing my 2 year anniversary when I started playing poker - for the very first time and I can truthfully tell you swings happen often.
I ran quite strong from the middle of this year for about 3 straight months. I pretty much stopped freerolling and moved up to micro stakes, then even moved up (same level) to only play in the highest micro stakes events possible.
I was running so good that I thought I was nearly ready to move up to low stakes 8-16 dollar buyins. Then I started running very badly, losing all the flips, and only min-cashing - not hitting the FT and top 3 nearly as often.
I'm pretty happy to say - I have come out of that slump and I'm running quite well again.
What I'm getting at is - just like in any other sport - same as in poker - we have hot streaks and we have slumps. Heaters and coolers, when we are running so well it seems like we can't be beat, and other times it seems like we can't win a darn hand to save our lives.
The slump will end - hopefully soon, but it might be a while. Gotta keep playing and stay vigilant. I know that isn't really helpful - probably, but I really do know - this is a slump and it will eventually end.
