I've had a bad start of the month so far. Running pretty bad and losing with hands that used to be my moneymakers (KK, QQ, JJ, AK).
Had some troubles with my computer as well (could only play one screen) and I'm still waiting on delivery of my new computer.
When my new setup is ready with 3 monitors, I hope to be playing 10 tables again (instead of 6 right now).
It's strange how a bad run can get into your mind even though I've played over a million hands and should have enough confidence to know I'm a winning player for sure, still I'm doubting myself and my game during such a bad run.
It's probably a good thing, because during those times I'm always eager to play more and study my game again and again, but it shows how difficult it is to handle variance in poker and not let it influence your game.
But the games are definately getting thougher, so it gets more and more important to study your own (and other regs) game so you can stay one step ahead.
As mentioned in my earlier post, I tried to play a little bit on iPoker, but I'm quite sure that my hourly rate will be lower there (and with more variance).
Games are just packed full with regs and if I look at my datamined statistics, a winrate of about 2 - 3.5 seems reasonable there. On everest I'm still around 5 this year (300K+ hands).
I finish this post with a hand which I think I played fine, although I got it in with only 4.7% equity....
The guy in the blinds (who wakes-up with aces) was a complete donk on tilt, so I called the UTG raise hoping for a squeeze by him....eveything worked out as planned, only there hands were a little bit better then expected.
