Today i lost 22 stacks in 2.5k hands. Action happened on 888 poker.
I just wasn't able to win a pot and there was plenty of fish at the tables. And now this happens for 3 months in a row.
Look at my graph

Its up and down all the time. It's so frustrating. And I am not playing some crazy big variance style. Why is this happening? Is it 888? Is it me? Is it my luck? Does anyone have constant graph going up on 888? Does changing room do any good in such desperate times?

Have you tried playing less tables?
Yeah how many are u playing to lose 22bi in a day? That seems absurd. I don't really set a stop-loss, but there's no way I could be playing my A game down that much. And I highly doubt you or really anyone else really can either.

You are profitable over a smallish sample size so I wouldn't panic. The better your win rate the smaller the downswings so if you want comfort play where you can easily beat the field. Just keep trying to improve, if you have tilt problems this will also drive down the troughs so don't worry too much about bad runs, learn from them and try to focus on playing well and consistently. 22 BI's is a bit big in a small time and so some tilt does seem likley or at least some bad table selection. Bad luck can and will happen but you have to be in control overall.
Tommy Angelo's series EFPTE is very good for people with or without tilt issues, just simply good for all really but especially great for tilters.
