Boy oh boy its a struggle at the moment - can' t get a win for love nor money (mostly money). Another 10 games today without a victory, making a staggering 23 games since my last win!!! The bizarre thing is my play has been OK in about 75% of those games, but things just arent happening. A really weird feeling, but again doing a reasonable job of not getting too frustrated.
My standard of play is reasonable - 9 money finishes in the last 15 games doesnt happen by accident, but hit a brick wall in terms of actually winning a game.

With 9 ITM finishes, you would expect even the fishiest of fish to win at least one through random luck, but I havent managed it. But it just won't come my way - a combination of bad luck and declining confidence the most likely explanation. Wins are so critical, not just from a bankroll point of view because of the premium for winning, but because of the confidence it gives you too, confidence to be more aggressive which as everyone tells me, is the key to good poker.
Still, the money finishes are keeping the bankroll afloat, so that I only lost a token $4. Hopefully a long winning streak is somewhere just around the corner.
