2 or 3 years ago I had a long downswing which last about 1 month. Nothing special to do to get out of that period... except stop playing.

I agree with you, from time to time we have to rest a little. There's nothing you can do in these situations!:confused::confused:

I already spent about two and a half months just taking Bad and without gaining practically anything relevant!:((n)
Two and a half months is too much. It can't last that long. Maybe you just need to take a longer break and analyze your game in detail.

3 weeks i think but it was a long time ago. I couldn't win anything but on those days i didn't play cash games like S&G so that's why i couldn't win some cash. Nowadays if i loose on tournament i move to cash games. There's always something to win.

I had a bad game for about six months and lost $1500 during this time. I was nervous and angry about it for a long time, thinking that I was going to have bad luck. So I decided to take a long break from poker, and during this break from the game, I started reading books about poker and analysing my game even more. And after a month of training and work on myself, I started playing again, and I've been playing successfully for a little over six months, I have a good income every month and I'm very happy about it. In a word, taking a break from the game helped me a lot, so maybe you should try it.

poker is an emotional game of opportunism, if you are not aggressive at the exact moment, the waiting time for victories can be very long, sometimes I spend long periods insisting on the same mistakes or on strategies with little margin of victory, which makes it difficult a lot of gain, blindly believing in premium hands especially in poker stars, the lesson I learned from Stu Ungar is that a tournament is won chip by chip, this idea helps a lot to stay alive and reach Itm

it's always great to know how to define what a bad beat really is .... sometimes it's just vicious tilt

It usually happens, I have spent some months in which I cannot earn anything, oh moments where I have earned a good amount, but in a single day I lose more than half of my earnings.

It's just a matter of getting some air and starting over with all the desire in the world

This point is one of the hardest points for me!
But surely this is the variance of the game or we could be making non-EV decisions in the medium to long term, not beating the field.
The maximum down swing was $500 usd more with study and dedication to get out of that phase!

A few days for me... 5 to be more precise... But obviously there have been more successful days in a row. It is not something you should take seriously. We would like the winning streak to never end... But let's get realistic here.
