The Downswing.........

I guess it was bound to happen, but I am currently down around $60 for the weekend and I played almost 15k hands.  NL10 is a much more interesting game than I expected and I am not use to the swings that happen in the bankroll.  I have a bunch of learning to do about the new game and regulars, but it sure would have been nice to run a little bit better.

So, I lost around $40 at NL10, so I moved back down to build up confidence and made $20 of it back, but then hit another down swing and I am currently sitting around $450 in the bankroll with two NL5 Rush losing sessions of $15 dollars each.  I got it in good, they just didn't hold.  Such is the game of poker though.

There is a spot that I need to look into that I do not entirely understand about the game and that is simply C-betting.  I think I have a decent three bet game, but C-betting I noticed I may be doing a bit to much.  I have a feeling that I C-bet almost 90% of the time and that is entirely way to much, but in Rush you almost have to because most of the players do not have a read on you at all.  However, when I am playing four tables of Rush you really do start to just play and go through th motions and stop putting people on ranges until the C-bet is called and I think that this is a HUGE problem in my game.  I need to either curve back the tables, and play two tables of Rush for a while and really work on Hand Ranges and take my time with hands, or move back to just regular old Full Ring.  I really think that I am just in the middle of a Down Swing and when this happens we tend to think that we are a problem, but considering these are the first two losing sessions I have had in a row for quite sometime I tend to think that I am doing  just fine.

Anyway, I am going to build the bankroll up again and take another stab at NL10 this weekend if I am at $500.  I should be getting almost $30 back in rake back so I just need to win about 4 buyins by Friday.

Good Luck at the Tables,

Traggy
