Are there days when it seems that everything is against me?

I know that I can't win every time, even I know that I can't win half of the games

Sometimes I have the same feeling.
Quite standard. Maybe we get used to it after some time.

 

[tabaskichhh]

losing is the part of the game we now it that you can't prepare for, every lost important ol another hits the emotions

It would be strange if luck was evenly distributed all the time.

It will come LOOOOOOONG downswings and hopefully also long upswings.

But the truth is that in a game where luck is involved the time of a normal poker career is not enough time to give everyone the same outcome (even if they have equal skill).

Just look at people who win several big MTTs in a short period of time. It's not always the best players.

Loss always hurts like taking away what I love

This happens often, you just need to not play, I don’t invest money, so I don’t worry.

Unfortunately it happens that way to most of us. Try not to take it so hard and just take it 1 day at a time. Good Luck

You're talking about days, I'm saying I have half a year😃but I know I'll always end up where I've been before.(I want to specify that I had completely different priorities, but poker is still poker and I will be back)

As long as my losing smile doesn't become a frown. I am content. As frustration, anger, rage and misery are the things that follow.
Try and keep the smile as long as possible. Tightly in both hands, don't let go.

 

[Stringy]

definitely sometimes we just have bad days or periods

 

[monkeytilter]

Your 'luck' on any particular day can be anywhere from very bad to very good.
You will have as many bad days as good days, it's just that you are more aware of the bad days because of the pain associated with them.

It's very ugly when that happens, I think that when you do badly after a hand or you lose in a strange way, your mood changes and consequently your gameplay changes.

 

[bowserdon]

Its called TILT

Yes, I have wild days where I can't even double my stack in every tournament. It happened recently (last Thursday). But I don't get upset because I realize that sooner or later luck will be my friend again.

Of course, there are) in such moments I just stop playing so as not to spoil my mood further. I immediately go and do things that bring me joy and a good mood. There are days when, no matter what hand is dealt, you feel inside that you will lose. That's exactly what happens, opponents are dealt backdoor flushes, gutshots, and so on, and they run over my overpairs and other strong combinations. And there are days on the contrary, when you feel strength inside, self-confidence, and understand that today everything is on your side. One of the main skills in poker, and in general in any gambling, is to be able to stop in time, so as not to spoil your mood and not lose money. That's why I have written many times that in order to play poker well, you need to not only work on your game, but also on yourself and your personal skills.

It's the poker gods!!! they play favorites, lol

 

[Rmi]

These are only bad times, you have to let go and keep going

 

[Flyer35]

No, not at all. In my average day 99% of things go my way and I'm a big winner in life. The other 1% usually involves poker. So why do I continue to do the one thing that works against me? Balance of course.

 

[63burner]

Sure, it is against you. Play two hours grinding, and wind up body slammed by a runner runner four of a kind, while you're all in, helpless. Good news is: there is always a new game, a new deal, new cards, don't focus on past failure. Everybody who ignores the chance of failure vs. Success will hopefully look at the game long-term: you might win, enjoy it. But when you lose, accept it as part of the game. Hope you get on a good, long run, sounds like you are overdue

I think this is just a losing mindset...., you're not the center of the universe, everything isn't against you or for you,

you're just a cog in the wheel just like the rest of us, not everything is always going to go your way,

the question is what are you gonna do about it. .... once you figure that out the bad runs don't matter😎👍

 

[ninocabral]

There really are days when nothing goes right, every good hand that comes ends in bad.

We all have bad days. There are periods of growth and periods of decline. Our life, our history, everything repeats because everything has its cycles. The main thing in such difficult times is to be disciplined and stay within your limits.

There are days when it's better to take a break, and that's okay. If you take the game seriously, if you are patient and disciplined, even your most unlucky days will not be able to cause you serious harm. If you are unlucky today, maybe tomorrow will be your day.

For me it is 3 good days in a month and the other 28 days are down days. So I know to lose less in those 28 down days than the amount I win on the 3 good days a month.

But how can you know in advance and guess which of the 31 days will be the good 3 days?
Do you already have an idea in the morning what the upcoming poker day will be like?
