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

[RENEY444]

That happens every day I play !

 

[andron205]

these are bad thoughts, you shouldn't think like that

 

[Uncloggie]

Yes. I certainly have days when the world is in cahoots and everything is difficult and problematic. Other days everything just goes smooth.
And this goes for everything, poker included.
It's best not to fight the world when it goes like that... just accept it isn't your day and tomorrow should be better

I despise the unpredictable swings of variance in poker; no matter how skillful you play, sometimes luck will tear you down without mercy

 

[Skot_Gy]

That's how life is.
And btw, it is just a feeling, not a reality. A matter of perception

 

[successlaw]

Yes, those days are inevitable but that's the game

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.

Luck plays such a huge role in poker, and it's easy to forget that when we see big wins or impressive streaks. Skill will always be important, but it can't completely eliminate the swings — especially in tournaments where variance is high.

The idea that "luck is involved" can make the game feel unpredictable, and that's what keeps it exciting, but also sometimes frustrating. A player can be incredibly skilled and still face downswings due to bad beats, while others with less experience might catch a streak of good luck.

Good morning.
Variance is part of our sport.

This is normal in poker, we win in a tournament out of 1000 tournaments played, 30% (we lose money) and 70% of the time we win money.
There is a hand volume factor in online poker, we play more hands than live and we feel that.
Tip: play your game without being affected by this factor that good days come and just enjoy it.

 

[Rachidao]

When it happens I take a break.

 

[oriole]

Yes, some days just feel like nothing goes your way, but it's normal and happens to everyone.

 

[Toruk Makto]

Days like this are complicated! Kkkk

 

[phuchoidey1]

Haha I think it depend on your lucky, some day really bad and sometimes it good

 

[Gilead]

I'm in it right now too.

 

[andrez1987]

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

This topic has been raised many times here but are there days when it seems that everything is against me?

Don't be sad; you have no chance against the bots.🤣👍🏻

 

[Sschafell]

normal, poker has variance, you have to keep increasing and everything will work out!

 

[hilary antonik filho]

Today 03/13, something incredible happened to me, in 3 tournaments I fell, 93 X 88, at table 99, another 62 X QQ, at table 26, another T5 X AA, at table TT, if this is not luck what is?

 

[tihomir_kula]

My week is 5 days 0, 2 days winner. The result in money is 0:0.

 

[rufininha14]

Sometimes I have the same feeling, lol, but it's impossible to win them all, there are always bad luck streaks, lol, but it's important to keep playing because the chances of you winning increase.

 

[Cbabycee]

I have days when I feel that way, nothing connects my strong hands don’t hold. I am not reading anything right. On those days I just stop playing.

GG seems to be one way or the other I either run like fire and hit miracle hands or I hit nothing at all. 🤷🏼‍♀️. I know it’s just the way it goes or maybe I’m not dialled in some days.

When I feel that way I just have a break and play the next day. I know when I’m not doing well I play differently, Like when you’re winning you hit everything - you play more confidently. It works both ways. I don’t like losing so I just leave it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

 

[dzsire]

I can say with many years of experience that there are days when nothing wants to works, there have been a few like that. But since I have a routine and a day like that comes, I recognize the situation and get out of the game that day. It only takes half an hour to an hour and you can recognize when that day is not 'the day'.

 

[dreamer13]

DON'T LOSE YOUR COMPOSITION. THIS IS ALL TEMPORARY.After every dark night comes day.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

The reality is that the percentage of games won is lower than what we think we won.
