Brian Townsend is currently having a really hard time at Full Tilt Poker. In his recent blog Townsend tells about his downswing.
Townsend says that it is getting really hard, but he is trying to be positive:
"This downswing is really starting to get to me. In just PLO I reached 4 mil under all in EV in the past 3 months. I try my best to say that all I can do is play my best in the situation I am in.
I try not to worry about others results and how well or poorly they are doing and just focus on my play. I have to admit its getting hard.
It feels like every day I play I sit down and I get stuck 100k with in 20 min. I try to quit and will then play another session later in the day where the same thing happens."
Brian can't help thinking how amazing it would be to run 4 million over EV instead of under, but he adds that at the end of the day it's not about the money:
"When I am feeling really creative I think how amazing it would be to run 4 million over EV instead of under. I think how nice it would be to be 8 million dollars richer.
Really though my life wouldn't be any better if I were 8 million dollars richer. I wouldn't do anything differently and probably would just be alot cockier, a bit douchier, and generally less like able.
When I really think about it the only reason I really care about running poorly is that I get some validation from my work. I always have tried to excel at things I do and poker is no different. I think to some degree it defines who I am."
Let's see when Townsend can start winning again, what do you think? - Discuss in forum!
