How to get through a downswing without losing confidence
Poker player Darya Kurt shared her latest results and thoughts on a prolonged bad run. September ended for her at minus $3,030 because of several expensive series events, but the key moment of her downswing report was a psychological turning point.
Faced with questions from GipsyTeam users about whether she's even a winning player at all, Darya pulled up her results since August 2023. The long-run stats show that she has earned $150k in profit online and the same amount live — a total of $300k over three years ($100k per year). It was precisely this turn to objective numbers that helped her cope with the downswing: being down in the moment is just a local bad stretch for a winning player, not a sign of lost skill.
Darya Kurt also published a detailed post where she shared her thoughts on how to get through a downswing in a healthy way and learn to tell it apart from bad play.
