The losses are part of the poker and all serious players, including the best players in the world, cannot remember whenever they had long losing sequences, including months of losses. Sometimes, the downswing begins with a long and bad series of maps. A series of bad beats that make us impossible gains and which affect the bankroll. While the bad passes continues and money flew, the player is forced to the more difficult it may have to ask the question: "is that I am the victim of bad luck or if I'm just bad?
John D'Agostino knows that it is very difficult to find the answer. "Whenever I lose a few sessions in a row, I began questioning me. D'Agostino adds. "But I know that some days, even if I play well, I'm going to lose. ''
Erik Seidel pointed out that for tournament players, long months without scholarships are to provide. In a long period of losses, it can be really difficult to know if it is a victim of bad luck or if our game is to review. "It's really hard to determine" says Seidel, "but most of us tend to believe that we play better that we're actually playing."
There's an inevitable relationship between badly playing and having bad cards. Pros tell us that being unlucky during a long time can lead us to make bad decisions. Jennifer Harman notes that when things start to go wrong, it has a tendency to push his hands. "Suppose I have AK and that I don't flop not pair, I will necessarily bet or raise. But it shouldn't be the case. "My image at the table is bad and no one believes that I can flop a pair, so I can't bluff. Obviously, I should wait to flop top pair. When this is the case, my opponent will me caller to the river and so pay me my hand. »
D'Agostino, a bad run of cards may lead him to play more shy way. "In this way, my bad days are still more bad". A few times I get to play more passively. In the middle of a hand, I wonder: "is this hand poorly ending? '' But if I play the hand as I'm supposed to play it, I'm going to win the pot. D'Agostino says that when he's playing too passively, he misses opportunities to the bluffs.
A poor pass from cards can destroy the confidence of a promising player. Harman adds "there are some players who have subscribed on a losing sequence poker because they cannot rely. They then start to play more and more badly and believe that they are damned at all never. On the other hand, suddenly, everything can change. »
How the pros are doing to find out what causes their downswing? Harman recommends share hands. "I ask people to watch me play or I do read my hands to friends and asked if I played well this or that hand. '' If they tell me I've poorly played, I'll have to re - evaluate the cause of my loss because I do not want to let this bad past affect my game. »
D'Agostino said that trust is important on a poker table. Therefore, in the midst of a hapless past, exit when you be winning even if it is for a few hands only-. It will be able to play on your mind and your confidence. Once that confidence is taken, you can continue to play normally'.
Finally, a successful player must develop an honest self-criticism of his game. Seidel notes that he speaks rarely Poker, but when he and John Junada chat, conversations often begin by, "Look at how I've played poorly with this hand."
