How to get yourself out of a downswing?
I had been doing well for a while, but yesterday had my worst ever session by some distance. I lost 11 buy ins over the day, with my previous worst being 3. I thought i would get back on the horse today, but i have followed in similar fashion and lost another 7. All in, i have lost nearly half my bankroll in the last 2 days. Not that i need the money, just pretty depressing having played for months to get to that level.
I am running incredibly bad luck wise, but am also conscious that I am focusing too much on how bad my luck is and not playing as well as i could. I read about these kind of downswings and always thought there must be serious issues with the player, so i need to look at what i am doing
I'm just not sure how to drag myself out of this. I feel like i want to just keep playing through it until things change, but i think that is not wise. I guess obvious answers are, take an extended break, move down in stakes or move to 1 rather than 2 tables.
Anyone dealt with anything similar and out the other side?
