Coping with bad runs - The Punters Lounge

How do you lot cope with bad runs? this week I have run so bad on cash tables it's a joke! I'm on a downswing of 12 buyins on nl25 which is awful for me! Everytime I go in ahead I end up loosing this week. Now playing with no confidence!
Might take next week of and start back grinding $5 sng's again!

Woodie, I am in the middle (hopefully end) of my worst ever run for one and a half years, so am just sitting it out for a couple of weeks to regain a grasp of other things in life........like beer and women......

This time last year I was thinking that my bad run would be over.

Maybe this time next year it will be?

i normally take a break from the cash tables for a few days, play a few low buy-in mtts and use up my frustration on them.

Currently playing STT challenge and I've not drawn anything in my last 9 games.
But as long as I know that my plays are the right ones...then I also know that the ''variance'' (luck swings???) will balance out over time.
If they don't, and I continue losing money for a long period, then I'd have to question whether my ''right plays'' are in fact wrong ones.

I went through an 18 BI downswing a couple of months ago but made it all back within 2weeks.

I just took a couple of days off, went back through the hands and though most of them were bad luck/cold decks i just thought through what could have been done differently. In turn it improved my game overall game and so i was able to use the bad run and turn it into a huge positive.

So i recommend taking a break to recharge, analyze the hands , stay positive and look to improve your game instead of looking back at past negatives.

as they say a change is as good as a rest

I thought that standard response was to throttle the monitor, and when you realise that isn't working, you throw the whole caboodle out the window?
