Most of it is from ages ago deposited $10 won a sitngo or two in a row, then binked a 180 player 2.25 buy in. Then proper gambled it all away after doing okay at the $5 buy ins pretty much religiously for like 6 months straight. Didn't play at PS for like 2 year's after that. Pure epic graph........

I know I'm not arsed about it. Just if I remember correctly it was like $160 and thats a BR i shouldn't be gambling on a limit I shouldn't even be playing at. Kinda regret it. I've only ever deposited $40 at PS altogether. I'm not a gambler. I'm a playa babbbyyyy

That sucks Sadaman, Did you say you were playing a lot of $5 SnG's? If they weren't double up's then I think you should've dropped to $3 tournaments, you know Bank Roll Management and all that, variance is that way.

Its just -$30 so not a big deal. Sharkscope dont track cash games so you cant judge someones total pokerskills. Player A can be a massive cash game winner and tilt/donk some money away at MTT/SNG. Also player B can be a big MTT winner and donk all his winnings thru the toilet at the cash game.

Looks like internacional Crisis is already affecting you too, Sadamman, but don’t wory, you’re from UK, problems now are centered in Greece (and then in Portugal, then in Ireland, then in Spain, then in Holland… , it will still take a long time to reach UK in a bad way. And, analyzing it in a positive way, it is possible to see a little rally starting right in the end of that graph, which can mean now you are in the good way again, don’t lose hope.

@ fakiry
------------ Yeah I know it was just bad BRM but this was a roll I could actually manage that's why its disappointing I was an idiot then. Its a lesson to people who don't respect their BR.
With a graph like this (im not trying to insult you) I would be hitting the books and reevaluating my game. you mentioned you played well outside the range of proper BRM so that's the first lesson. From what the graph dictates, this could be variance but it looks a little more like some weak play in spots. I don't know what game format you are playing, all the graph states is games played. Choose a decent game format that conforms with BRM rules and then focus on how you play each hand. I try to play every hand perfectly and the chips will fall where they may.
It looks like you are dabbling in mtt's or SNG's. I would brush up on my tournament strategy if i were you. go through your hand history and find out where you are donking away chips and try to correct yourself. Remember in tournaments you need to accumulate all of the chips in play to win. If you fix spots where you are bleeding chips it will help you cash, and run deep in tournaments.

win all day: yeah I agree, thats mostly from when I was an idiot. I have studied alot since. Giving me the little rally fakiry commented on. It was psycological that downswing. I turned into a donk when I was on the up, giving me a false sense of security, and in denial until I lost it all.
Doomdy: I only play SNGs and MTTs, I don't have the patience for cash games and end up getting far too aggro.

It depends on how you are playing mostly... We all have downswings, and get tilt from day to day. Sometimes I lose a couple of hand with some badbeats and that makes me play my worst poker, and trying to get back my chips . Since I learnt that, I started to go to bed when I'm in a downswing and next day try to play as if nothing had happened.
Sometimes your game style it's ok, but you lose with premium hands vs stupid calls. That makes you feel that you are doing sth wrong, when you aren't.
I would say that you must play poker as you usually do, unless you are not feeling comfortable with it.

well this graph of your resembles the majority of pokerstars clients graphs imho, not saying that stars are different from any other site though, just most of the times when we start out playing for no reason at all we win something, then we get hooked up- and end up with a cool looking graph

i have an idea ,,how do you think about it friends???
if i play 3.5 $ sng turbo 45 players and am used to make money on this particulair sng...after not having cashed and played about 7-8 of those,, is it not wise?? ,,if my bankrol allows it.. to go play 1 stake higher to 7$ sng 45 turbo ..because i haven't won yet and the chances to win are increasing ..comparing this to before results.???and ROI %
( i expect a first or second place within 10 entries) (have won 2 in a row..
this is how i play sometimes...haven't won or got profit after 5-6 entries i play 1 stake higher..
comments please.... what do u think of this strategie???

Thats not a good looking graph by anyones account! Though it does look similar to my bank account recently what with the lovely caring approach the UK government has towards us lovely hard working citizens. Bring on the next bunch of suckers who will give it us all back!!!!!

I'm not exactly a winning player but I just carried on until it got better and started to realize alot of it was me changing my play.
