Comeback

So my 1k downswing turned into about $1400. Obviously at this stage I was hating poker and doubting my game etc. So yesterday, after my 6th losing session out of 7, I spent a few hours going through hands on holdem manager to try and see exactly where I was going wrong. I managed to spot 2 things in particular that was costing me money, but in general alot of it was just pure variance which at times led to me tilting off some more. Im generally pretty good at not tilting or quitting a session when running bad so Im a bit annoyed at myself for this.

So after this I was super confident again and just wanted to play some poker which I hadnt wanted to for ages. The very next session I managed to book a $300 win and so far 2day Im up about $800. Its such a good feeling to be winning again albeit just after 2 sessions. Fingers crossed this is the start of a mega upswing.

Another thing that gave me back some confidence in my game was my winrate. Despite being on a $1400 downswing my win rate since I started using holdem manager is 21 BB/100 (for non-poker players, this means winning 21 big blinds per 100 hands). Ok so my sample size isnt that big but Id be super happy if my long term winrate (100k hands+) was 15BB/100.

Also my mate Andy is leaving 2moro to go travelling round Thailand so I wana wish him gl, and hope ya have a good time. If you have half as much fun as I did you'll love it.

Love you all
