    I always appreciate the support, so here it goes. I have not been playing seriously all that long. This evening i came home and fired up some sit n go's as usual. I am not a great player by any means but i usually fair pretty well. This evening i have bombed out of 5 tournies really early and very badly. My question is does this sometime happen to everyone. I guess like just having a bad nite or bad game. Baseball comparison going 0 for 5 and striking out 4 times (one cooler) but beside the point. Does this happen to everyone from time to time? If so how does everyone go about it for the rest of the nite or the next day?

    Always greatly appreciated

    oh yeah dude it can get bad
    it's just something you gotta roll with, it's part of the game. happens to everyone, part of being a good player is dealing with bad runs much much worse than this.

    take some time away from poker, from your computer altogether. clear your head of it. it may take an hour, may take a day or a couple days. but you shouldn't play on tilt (fulltilt is ok), so stepping away from the computer to cool off is usually beneficial to your ROI.
    hope this helped
