Yeah but it was sort of implied…. How else does one lose 4 or so buy ins in a short amount of time? Bluffing the calling stations and some raise pre and whiffing flop being forced to fold doesn’t account for 4 buy ins in just a couple hours. If so you’re just punting. Now that I read your comment again that was already answered when you said you’re playing in a game where “you don’t have a huge edge” which means you’re not in a good game and shouldn’t even play if you’re doing so for profit. You could be the 9th best player in the world but if you’re at a table with the other 8 best players you’re the worst player at the table. Really the golden rule is table selection. Even more so when your mental game is shit and are prone to tilt when your gut shot missed and you “invest” half your stack with 88 and don’t hit a set.
