fwiw, I usually start off every session with a 30-40 BB downswing. The key, ime, is to keep grinding until you establish some solid sample sizes and reads on the opponents and just play a s**tload of hands in every session(till you're not playing well), rather than several short sessions.

this happens to me all the time. I thought I was donking it up but I see that it's a common occurence.

Are these swings, even at this extreme, normal? What do i do??????


swongs are one thing, but...


...seriously, is this HEADSUP limit holdem? Cuz some days it seems you are 60-80% fave on the flop OR TURN and they just won't fold their horrible draws so they suckout tons, and a bad run of that can be like -50BB or worse in a very short time.

I despise heads up LHE. Might as well play blackjack or three card poker.
