Some Adjustments

As you can see on my Sharkscope Graphs the Downswing didn´t want to end...

15 Days ago I was quite happy with having about 300 BI for my limit and riding on a upswing. Of course, I knew that there will be a (hard) downswing and I didn´t complain about the first 50 BI. But then things started to change..

No, I didn´t tilt. In my opinion I continued playing my A-Game. If you can call this A-Game after dropping 100 BI. I think there is always a little bit that makes your play not really better..

Anyway, I was meanwhile down to 150 BI and about 130 under EV. Just look at my last post, there you can see some Graphs. I don´t wanna post the whole downswing Graph, it just frustrats me. I dropped about 6k in the end which means about 200 BI and ran about 160 under EV. At the STT´s.
Although I knew that the variance gets higher and higher the more you move up in limits, I didn´t expect dropping so many...

Of course, dropping 200 BI isn´t really standard for a good reg at these limits. Although I knew that I´m not the best at my limit, I was sure that I´m a good winningplayer. I still think so, but at the moment the STT´s in this limit are really pissing me off.

Not only because of the many regs and so on but now it´s getting a mindset-thing. Dropping around 15+ BI every day make you going nuts.
Dropping more than 50% of your BR makes you going nuts.

So after 2 days getting off from poker I decided that I have to move down so that I don´t crush my whole BR.

I decided to play the $16 18mans and see what will come around. Of course, new regs, new adjustments to STT´s...but I think there´s no other way.

On Full Tilt I´ll play the $24-$36 to get the 500 points per day and to freeplay my $500 bonus. I don´t know if I play on Full Tilt afters this or if I switch completly to Pokerstars.

Ps: Thanks to my friend ICall w/Crap.

Some Thoughts

...to let you know how i run atm. You can choose wether it´s more sick to drop around 70 BI on Pokerstars and running in setups + suckouts or dropping 30 BI with a higher avg. Buy In and loosing nearly only against suckouts.

Well, furtunately I had so much BI for my limits. But know I´m over 4k down which means 100+ BI related to which BI you take. Now, of course, you say that this is not only bad luck and there have to be big leaks or some what.

What I think is, that I had a good upswing at the beginning of the year and that I´m in a BE stretch seen on this downswing...

I´m definitely sure that I beat this limit with a ROI that´s normal for a reg on this limit. I think i run pretty bad and atm and that this can only be balanced out by volume. Although I don´t give this much on the EV-line, it shows in such downswings that you´re really unlucky in the all in situations and motivations at least a little.
