1. How common are for example 10 buy in down swings and how many buy ins is the your longest downswing?I get awful downswings. It's frustrating when you work for example 40 hours and all what you have earn goes away in 1 hour when doomswitch is turned on. I've seen even that i've been 2/3 favorite in over 30 all ins in a row, and lost over 90% of those all ins. Does any other pros get that same shit or am i just unluckiest man on earth? I have scoped some highstake sng hu pros and some of them don't have huge downswings thought they don't have game even selection.I just wonder how you handle your downswing, and what kind of variance (downswing) you think is normal in a day, in a week, in a month? Everyone can feel free to answer but i specially expect answers at least mid/highstake pros. 2. Is in video database videos where pros lose? I think coaching videos where instructors lose many games and be in a huge downswing are the best. There u can see what kind of game is good game and variance is just against you. If you watch videos where you get easy money from a donk with AA is just not so good for learning because every one can do that. 3. You could make a topic or own page etc where every "student" who have bought coaching hours could leave some feedback what they liked. At least one positive and one negative thing.
Hi Peksu,Sorry your comment seemed to be overlooked for the last week.10 buyin downswings are fairly common. I'd suggest sharkscoping some of our coaches to see the types of downswings that you can expect. Filtering by buyin level should help keep downswings in perspective.Downswings are tough to handle. ITRIED2WARNU dedicated a video on handling tilt in heads up sngs. There have been other videos on handling tilt and downswings along with forum posts. The best thing that you can do is to just work on improving your game. The larger your edge is, the less likely it is that you will experience long stretches of negative results (losing money).There are plenty of videos with coaches losing. I recall one of mine in particular, dealing with variance where I handle very bad luck and adversity. I believe I lost all 3 matches in that video in particular. Skates earlier videos are filled with losing matches and running terribly. He was running so poorly in many of those videos that members joked with him when he finally had a video with a few winning matches. You'll also find bad beats peppered throughout the videos on our site.Your coaching feedback idea is interesting. We may do something like that, perhaps even attach it to the coaching pages. Currently, you can see student feedback on the 2p2 forums for some of our coaches (Fydor, Cog as well as myself have had listings over the last year or two with overwhelmingly positive feedback). Otherwise, so far the rare coaching feedback thread has popped up in the forums here, you can find those using the search function or by manually looking back a few pages at the thread titles.Let me know if you have any other questions, and I apologize again for missing this the first time around.
haha, i've just played like 5hours to make 7 buy ins, and just lost 5 in 10mins :P TILT! xD
I feel your pain peksu, actually dumped over 1/2 of my bankroll with some nasty variance and I, like you, was a favourite (sometimes a huge fave) most times the money went in. (a couple I was ~95% and still lost to running straights etc - set of 4s v KQ on a KT4r flop was the last one! yep 9J T&R!! ouch!). Anyway I computed from HEM data that over that time I had an avg equity of just over 75% when it all went in, but won just under 20%!As for how to deal with it, Im still working on that myself (but a break has worked well so far ;-) )
