Research
I'm going to do some research today on 6-max play. I think I've been pussing out a ton recently, probably because I'm on a 200BB+ Downswing but I've got to be careful not to fix what isn't broken if it isn't.
The fact's are that I've lost 25BB in both my last 2 sessions but in both I suffered a hand where I suffered a reversal of at least 20BB in equity (went from having a 16BB share of a 20BB pot and lost 9BB instead or something similar) and things like that can really kill your short term winrate. I've just got to learn not to give a shit.
I don't think it helps that I've been stressed out of my tree recently so any slight poke (especailly if it's losing 4 times in the first 10 hands where the minimum amout of equity I had when my oppoent's spewed on the flop was 60%) can get me agitated. Fortauntely I've got 5 days off now so can chill mayself out, make some vids and hopefully get back on track.
Tbh I think more than anything else it's wounded my pride. Last year I have such a great year and was creaming 2/4 and 3/6 but now I'm back down in the doldrums and struglling like the last year didn't happen and it's extremely frustrating because I feel like I've put a ton of work in and sadly just fallen victim to circumstance (both in poker in RL sadly so it's bit of a dual whammy)
That said, let's get back on the trail.
