My start to September at the tables has been as disastrous as the last week August. Had I not put in twenty thousand hands at FTP, I would most certainly be in the midst of the largest downswing of my poker career.
Over the last 25,500 played at Pokerstars, I'm a hair over 1600bbs below AIEV. Here's a Sklansky evaluation graph of said period:
Some of that is obviously caused by the previously mentioned AIEV struggle. To put things in perspective, it isn't like I'm used to running normally or anything. It is complete standard for me to have strings of 25+ consecutive sessions where I'm below AIEV. Getting top set in against backdoor draws five times a session and losing five out of five is completely normal. I'm not expecting miracles. I would however, like to maybe win one AIPF holding aces every couple days. Maybe get to occasionally chop when I get AA in vs AA, or AK in vs AK (yeah, I lost AA vs AA and AK vs AK today, along with AA vs KK twice).
The good news, is that for some mysterious reason when I get top set in against a back door draw at FTP, I apparently have greater than 0% equity. In my first 20k hands at FTP, I'm actually almost a buyin ABOVE AIEV. You heard that right, I said ABOVE. I'm also marginally above expectation in Sklansky evaluation as you can see below:
