We all knew it was coming!!

The gravy train could only run so long. After my big win this week at the tourny my online game has ran into a vicious painful run. Each session seems to start with a fairly hard beat and then just trickle from there.

I will update the charts when i get home, but right now I am sitting on 2253, which is about 250-300 down from my high, and all pretty much this week. I am going to look at poker tracker and can pin it down to about 4-7 hands where most of the money went.

Now I have to be careful here, as each time I lost I was rivered I think maybe 85-95% of the time. I think there is one hand for sure I should have played different, but the others I would want to go to the river. My worry here is that am I pulling an old school Felter here (grin) and putting too much on the line when I have the best hand. I want to go back and review each hand and make sure I was not only marginally ahead. But at least 200 of it I am sure I was 75% plus to win on the river, and more than that usually. Want I want to convince myself this is the part as Felter said that you play within your bank roll, and be prepared to lose 5 times in a row (As god knows for a while there I was winning them all).

So not shaken, but concerned. And the only reason I am not really shaken as I am feeling confident that it is not "bad play" that got me here. I am pouring through poker tracker data trying to confirm that, and feel pretty good so far.
