cris1285 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I wonder what you guys do, when you have so bad luck at the tables? Of course when you have more tables open, i remain focused, but cant all the time. For example now i had AA, i went all-in, he called w K9. On the flop there is a K, on the river there is a 9. To be honest i throw my mouse, than swearing for a minute, continously. There is no influence on my game for now, as i went all-in and lost all my stack :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicadil Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I just laugh and take a break for like 30 minutes. I rarely get mad at anything anymore. I debateShould I smile like everything's good and pretend that life is greatOr should I let the world see the real me and not hide this painI tried to be like the rest of y'all, sorry I just can'tI'ma probably die this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cris1285 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 When i have this continously, i cant win w AA, KK, AK, with anything in a row, i also laugh, and im thinking for sure its a dream. But when i feel like wow, im playing great, and i have a painful loss, i cant laugh at all. Just later, now :smileylol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play for hours, massive stack, bad beat & no cash.

polarbear Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 i have almost 2 weeks since i cant win a hand , i am in a terrible downswing .I play only sng but the wierd thing is that i loose all my good hands except with one hand that i never loose : AA . ( i do wonder why )i had many times in my mind to cash out all the money and move somewhere else .I did , but i also canceled every single time :)In those moments actualy you cant do to much : probably stop playing is one of them but also most important thing is to have a healthy bankroll.Me for example i moved to the lowest stake where no downswing could kill my bankroll ( only my time spend in front of those games ) and there is indeed laughable when you see that is impossible to win a hand.

jappe Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 When the bad beat happens in a tournament and I'm still in play, I need to remain aware of the frustration during the next few hands. I try to laugh it off. I also consciously fold the next few hands even though they would be semi playable hands. After a few hands I've coold of enough to resume normal play. Same applies for cash tables.Sometimes I've gotten good pocket cards (top pair or similar), then I try to portray a frustrated player, often with good results. Then again, a double bad beat in a row requires a short walk away from the computer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have gotten a strong hand after a bad beat, I get calls on hands that probably wouldn't have called an all-in push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
