4 straight losing days

I haven't been playing that much in the last few days but anytime I do, I lose. 4 straight losing days at heads up limit holdem is tough to do. I don't think I've ever done it before. I've lost 4 times in a row a million times, but not at my goto 'get out of a downswing' game haha. I'm not sweating it at all I'm just pretty tired of it. The downswing is up to like 400 bets which is the most for heads up limit holdem for me I think. My biggest was 1k bets but that was ring game... I think it helps that I'm still having a mediocre positive month still...

Gonna sit a few hours this afternoon and then head up to canterbury with jay and wilmes for a little live poker...should be real fun.

I also picked up a gamepad which I'm going to try to get working for when I want to 1 table heads up and lean back. If anyone has any recommendations on how to do this (I know there is good software out there I just haven't done my research yet)

I did this with PS3 sixaxis controller a couple of years ago. As long as your PC has bluetooth, this is relatively easy to do and you don't have to buy anything(everyone has PS3 amirite?)

How did you program it for poker? Table ninja? I play on a few non stars/tilt sites so I'm hoping there is another good option...

come to think of it, pretty sure I only set it up to work on AP/UB. and THAT was relatively easy because you could just keymap F1,F2(which functioned as action hotkeys) etc to controller buttons.

keymap Alt+tab,shift+alt+tab to L1,R1 and you could even multitable pretty easily.

I wasn't playing much on stars or tilt so didn't dig into how you could go about doing it there but the hotkeys AP has(had?) made things really easy.

I'd guess that by now somebody has rigged up a method, like you said tableninja, of doing this on other sites...
