How do you handle THE swings?

#1| 0

ok, guys, now i want to know how others do it.

I always play a bit of risky poker, am a bit in it for the kick so....;-) but latley i been getting huge swings, and we talking huge swings (well for me its huge maybe not for some of you but for me it is) Up 7 k one day down 10 k another up 15k next and then down 8k again and so it goes on and on and on and on....*shaking my head*

I can handle it so far, my bankrole are still pretty ok BUT its really not good, i need to somehow control the swings a bit better, make them less frequent. i get extremley eager to win it back and then as you all know the swings CAN be even bigger.

So,, how do you do it?
Shorter sessions?
Less tables?
Swop from cash to Sit&go`s for a while?
Start on a fresh number every session regardless on you went down or up the previous one?
Set a roof, when i double up on this table leave and take another one... bla bla bla...

i dont know, am asking out into the blue and would love to hear how YOU handle your swings, we all got them, its part of the game.

But how do YOU HANDLE them?

Maybe this is because i hate grinding, relly hate it, i admire people who one minute can sit on high level and next one force them self to go down and grind or play a 10$ sit&go instead of a 200$ sit &go. i admire them loads! LOADS!

And from tomorow i will definatley on one of my account force my self on doing some ABC poker on low limit without funnie moves- love funnie moves ;-) , at least 3 hrs, i will damed force myself to do it, just because a player SHOULD BE ABLE TO do this, and i really aint, toooo boring!
But i will try and i will let you know. Damed i will try! lool!

I really would like to be better and develope my game so...

-any books you can recommend me?
Normaly when i find my game stuck in this elevator i take a weeks break and read poker books and watch silly series on TV so am cool with reading a book, no worries there just run out of books to look for so come give me some tips... i buy a beer in the casino next time!

Weird enough my live game function brilliant!
I play live 2-3 times a week in tournaments and pretty much get to HU in them all ;-) (ok sorry to sound bitchy, but its true..HU or last 3, mostley i actually win them, loool, sorry but i cant lie) got an enourmous petient there that i dont got infront of my computer. Maybe cos i can chit chat, i talk alot, hmmm yea yea!

Looking forward to some constructive tip- and as always OK TO WRITE IN DANISH. Understand it to 99% just cant dare myself to write in it yet ;-) i shud really, half my family tree are danish!

Cheers

Jeg accepterer mine swings. De påvirker ikke min rulle mere end godt er (men jeg kører også en meget konservativ BRM).

jamen, accepterar dem... ja det har man väl inget annat val till men försöker du inte undkomma dem?

Man kan ikke gøre meget andet end at acceptere dem.

Jeg er selv en aggressiv spiller, opsøger alle situationer hvor der er +ev.

Hvis du vil have mindre varians, må du nitte den op. Men det er ikke fedt og du efterlader penge på bordet.

Så længe man har rullen, må man prøve at se henover variansen.

is there anyone else but me who thinks stupid like this: - !"##¤¤%¤%&%/%AGHRAFHLIOU &//¤% ok, just going to get these loses back and AFTER that then i will focus and maybe even go down a level and play steady steady.. but right now i just freaking are getting it back!

LOOL, christ what a crap thinking.
And it never works. hehehe hardley anyway.
But then on the other hand when you once in while take a stabb on a too high level and come out with a huge smile,, then you should try to remember these situations.. its all about the famous variation.

I want swings. Nothing more challenging than loosing one mil and then trying to win it back.

I just try to survive. Or get kicks. I cant get any better anymore so that has no interest for me :)

All i want is something to use all my future winings on that makes sence.

Sleep tight!!

Hahaha.. so you play for the kicks, just as me, its bloody dangerous dear!

And hey,, what to use it on will make sense the day you find someone worth sharing them with. Then you knnow so dont spend it all.

Cant get any better.. thats a intresting attitude not to say the least, i can get a whole shit load of better, especialy online, just dont have a mentor for it, maybe you should be my mentor Bajawa!

Heheh, and also because you are one of the few in here that meet me IRL :-) and because i was clever enough to figure out who YOU where!

Take care, sleep tight

You want lower swings, play lower levels. Reminding that you play your best regardless of the up- and downswings :)
