It's good to run bad
KwarK, Jun 20 2009
So far this month I've played about 30,000 hands and lost about 20 buyins. I played for about 10 hours today and despite my best efforts ended up down 4 more buyins. This continual losing for a prolonged period of time was really beginning to effect my confidence and make me feel that I was playing badly, even though I could see sick beat after sick beat. After getting 2 outered on the river one last time I tiltquit all my tables and spent an hour scouring the internet for a poker EV grapher for pt3.
What it showed me was the first good news I've had all month. My play is above solid, I'm making sick monies with allin EV. Everything is great. It's just I'm about seriously below my EV. Today alone I was up 5 Sklansky buyins which is a decent day and makes me feel way less bad to be down 4. It's good news. I run bad. 
Staked + grinding

So, after a cashout crippled my bankroll and a well timed downswing took 14 or so buyins from me I was forced to drop down way below limits I can beat. Fortunately I was able to get a stake and for some reason I always seem to run well on borrowed money. Slowly grinding the pennies out without any major sick beats or strings of bad luck. Not running like god but my flushes seem to hit more often than I've been used to over the past few weeks and I'm getting those big pocket pairs more often, and sometimes even when someone else doesn't have a bigger one.
All in all it could be worse. I've signed away a fair sized chunk of my winnings for the next few weeks which is less than ideal but under the circumstances it's better than it could be. I'd rather do it this way than work my way back up through 10nl.
Gl at the tables everyone.
