After yesterday's life & poker variance I ploughed straight into the session of death this morning. I could well have dropped a handful of buy-ins but came out of it a little over 1 buy-in down. I made nothing in the session and did a lot of folding, but was very patient and concentrated well until I quit the session after an hour. I have been running below average for two weeks now and I have to admit I'm getting a little frustrated with it. I am losing nearly every shortie flip at the moment, a standard beginning to my session this month is I open, shortie shoves, I call when ahead and lose. Today it was KK vs. 88 for half a stack & it's not a great way to start off each day that you play, and of course it kills your bottom line.
I'm a little bit proud of not tilting off any money during this period, but I have to admit I've been thinking about dropping down the past 3 days until I am running a little better. I've sort of fudged it by deciding to stick to a 5 buy-in shot and dropping if this run continues, but take another 5 bi shot if I pull out of it. I don't expect to run well all of the time, but I don't want to take a shot during a poor run, either. I think I played pretty well this morning but simply didn't make anything, and therefore folded a lot.

You cannot predict when a poor run (or good run) will end. For all you know, your next session will be the one where you win 4 BIs. Therefore, the mentality of dropping until the poor run is over makes no statistical sense. Drop down if you think you are not playing optimally. Otherwise, stick it out and keep making good decisions.
