Well a week on and nothings changed, im still running like a one legged elephant thats got its one leg caught in its tail. Had a session with one of the mentors last week, and to be honest he pointed out 1 or 2 parts of my game that werent as they should be, only small things but very important small things. The fact im running so bad i took the extremly unusally step of droping to the lowest level of poker ive played in three years, i droped to 1/2! The thinking is very simple, if im running bad and playing below par i might as well do it were the pain isnt as bad.................but then i find that even losing there hurts, i seriously cant stand getting beat no matter what the level, i think id actually get stressed playing and losing at the 1c/2c game. Ive also played far less than i normally would over the last week, this as been more to do with the mentoring job which to be honest is a god send in these dark times, focusing on others games helps blank out the bullshit of my P&L. Today though i was feeling good and played my first real session of the month, six tables over three hours.............it was no good, i still run sh1t! The standard trips v trips started the lose, JJ v QQ on a QJ2 rainbow board, with my final hand of A8 v AK on a A86 board, K river ending any hope of a little relief! Going over the top ten losing hands i struggle to see what i can do, sure there was one hand were a make an illl timed bluff, but the rest are big hands into draws that get drawn out on, or big draws that miss. I left the session not feeling down, but just totally pissed that i cant return a good solid winning day. Got another full day of sessions tomorrow that means i wont be able to get back to the cyber sickness until late afternoon, but the way its going who cares! Positve thought is something im far from short off, but trying to keep a positive spin on things when they drag on for so long........well it gets very wearing.........................another break the answer?
