Yeah, I find when I lose a few games in a row when I start, I get more concentrated on "winning" and not just playing the game. It makes me lose focus/concentration as well as built up stress just makes me play like an idiot. I always tell myself to stop when I lose a few games but it just doesn't register =\

looks like you could do better with little change! =) seeing how it looks like you lose due to build order or bad micro

oshit. had one of those days as well.
I kept trying to beat this korean dude and asked him for a rm like half a dozen times in a row, losing all of them. Before that I lost like 3 games in a row, and after the korean dude kept owning me I lost like another 3 in a row... I believe I got bumped down to D- T_T

I feel your pain.

EDIT: lol @ you losing to D people when you are D+

. It happens though!

Today i lost about 20% of my bankroll. I lost AK vs KQ on a KKX flop that ended up all in and catched a Q in the river. I lost KK vs TT against a maniac all in preflop, and about 5 more hands that i dont want to remember. Kinda i know how you feel. :D

Not really.
All player dependant.
You can play your best and still losing and learn nothing from the replay and yet you can learn something against another player where you won.
You simply need to stop overeacting and get your balls on to watch the rep and see where you're doing wrong. If not, no matter how much you lose or play you won't learn anything.
Already got like 2 days almost full of loses which give me rank from c- to D (almost d-) cauz i was playing blindly.
How to overcome it ? Take a break, read some forum, take a bath, get back on sc and watch rep and see where you can improve. If not, play another game ONLY if you feel like it. There's no need to play when you're playing like machine.
