I'm down for the year... I'm negative money for the year 2009. I've went from being up 12k for the year, to being down... I bubbled the cash tonight in the 25k, I was one of the chip leaders the entire tournament... and after severely schooling a guy I lost on the bubble to the money. I didn't think I'd know what losing 10k plays felt like, and now its all I can think about. I don't even want to start playing when my day begins because I KNOW I'm going to lose, no matter how good I get my money in, no matter how deep I run I will not win.

I haven't been freaking about it, and frankly I've handled this down swing better then I did my last one. But when it gets right down to it... it doesn't matter how I handle it, I'm losing a tiny fortune right now and every day that goes by is another day where I almost get my big score... and instead end up down 1k on the day.


I win one of the tournaments I've final tabled, or place in the top 5 in 3 and I'm up in money... but will I ever? Its looking more and more like it will never be dr fill goods day...

    That day will come very soon.. Just make sure you don't let tilt take over. Take a few days off and come back stronger..

    I would take a few days off, I know that exact feeling when you sit down and you KNOW you will not win. You WILL not, I never do anyway. I dont know what it is apart from a lack of confidence in your cards. Id take a while off and try to not think about the money you have lost, again I have been there to a lesser degree than yourself and it is the hardest thing in the world to stop thinking about. Maybee draw a line under this bad start and try to be up for March, at least that is a reachable goal and a start on the way to recovery.

    You're a great player Doc. You just need to force yourself to take a few days off. My suggestion would be to not play again until your drive/desire returns.

    it will come it will come... friend of mine won turbo hundo after busting his roll right before the end of march. I transferred him 60$ that I owe IRL and some how he played 45$ super turbo to place 2nd and with about 116$ decided to play the 109$ turbo hundo. He made the run of his life virtually invincible during the donkament and took it down for 7.7k. There's been a rumor that my BR is the source of luck as I saw another friend of mine place 4th in 26k guarantee 6max after receiving transfer from me. Perhaps filly should try to buy in with funds directly transferred from the bank of rryu87 on FTP?
