All poker players eventually go through a tough period where they string together many losing sessions or can’t seem to ♨️ make the money in a succession of tournaments. Even the best players in the game have had significant downswings in ♨️ their careers. One of the questions that the CLC coaches get most is “How do you deal with and recover ♨️ from downswings?”. We asked 2 of the most successful MTT players on the planet, CLC’s Chance Kornuth and Alex Foxen ♨️ about their personal experiences with downswings. Let’s dive into their responses! Justin Lynch: What Was The Worst Downswing Of Your ♨️ Career? Alex Foxen: I’d say the worst downswing of my career probably came in 2024. I definitely overextended a bit ♨️ from a bankroll perspective, probably playing overconfident and not critical enough of my own game and that is the perfect ♨️ recipe to create a big downswing. I don’t have an exact number but probably a couple million lost in that ♨️ one. Chance Kornuth: I have taken the shots and went up to a million and then down toR$100-$200k before I ♨️ stayed over a million when games were softer and I thought I should have taken a lot more but now ♨️ that I’m a family man, I don’t do that anymore (laughs). Justin Lynch: What is your go to activity to ♨️ reset during a downswing? Alex Foxen: Absolutely working out and doing something physical. Getting your mind out of whatever state ♨️ it is in. Anything that creates that meditative singular focus that a workout or maybe doing something with your hands ♨️ does. Something that can get you out of your head and into your body, that gets you into the present ♨️ moment as much as possible. I think physical movement is really really good for that. Chance Kornuth: I like working ♨️ out and spending time with my friends and family, watching movies and playing games. Doing anything nonpoker to get 100% ♨️ of your focus onto other things. Justin Lynch: How Do You Measure if you’re running bad vs not playing your ♨️ best? Alex Foxen: I don’t think that there is a perfect way to measure these two things. That’s why it ♨️ is really important to be constantly critical and the best way to avoid a downswing is to always act like ♨️ you are in a downswing, always put work into your game, always question everything you do even when it works. ♨️ Ask the questions “Could I have made more on that line?”, “Could I have possibly bet bigger here?”, “What if ♨️ he had this hand?”, “How would I approach it if the turn was this?”. All these different varying questions to ♨️ ask yourself to keep yourself in a state of growth instead of stagnation. For me and I also feel it ♨️ is true for most people, downswings always come after a period of stagnation and then the downswing almost always end ♨️ after a period of effort into change. I know so many people who decided to work with a mental game ♨️ coach or decided to seek coaching for the fundamental side of their poker game or start working with a solver. ♨️ So many of these people get instant results and I think there is an energetic aspect of that, putting your ♨️ effort into productive things allows you to be at your best in the game and to be more open minded ♨️ which leads you with more room for growth. If you just think what you are doing is right and you’re ♨️ not questioning it constantly then when something comes across that someone else does or that is an option to do ♨️ something it will be harder for you to accept it or consider it as an option for you just because ♨️ of the nature of it and the state that your brain is in at the time. Chance Kornuth: I think ♨️ that’s actually something that people mess up as far as running bad vs not playing your best. Focusing on the ♨️ things that you can control as opposed to things you can’t is imperative Justin Lynch: During a downswing do you ♨️ put in more study vs more volume- what’s the mix there? Alex Foxen: For me it’s mostly playing, I am ♨️ doing a little bit of both all the time. So I think that studying is valuable, however without regular play ♨️ it’s pretty worthless. There is too much to think about in poker, you need some things to be automatic, so ♨️ if you just study when you get to play none of those things are going to be automatic, if you ♨️ just play you are not as likely to question your decision making and improve on what you are doing and ♨️ your process in the game. That side is pretty heavy in favor of playing over study, but you can’t optimize ♨️ one without the other. Chance Kornuth: I would say definitely put in a little more study, it is definitely easiest ♨️ for us to want to study more when we haven’t been losing, however for me it’s like preparing for a ♨️ stop. I study for the WSOP or before I do certain things and if I notice that I was inadequate ♨️ on a certain board texture and I didnt know what to do, I tell Foxen,”Let’s go through the spot and ♨️ do a webinar on it.” Justin Lynch: What do you consider a downswing at this point in your career? Alex ♨️ Foxen: Honestly, I don’t have any kind of metric for it. I don’t think about that in that way at ♨️ all. I consider a downswing when I look at how much cash I have and I am surprised with how ♨️ low it is. I am not super meticulous with managing my bankroll, I have an idea where it is and ♨️ I take risks accordingly but I am not necessarily looking at my results and saying “Oh wow, I am on ♨️ a 23 buyin downswing”. The moral of what I am saying is downswings are only in your head, they are ♨️ a construct they don’t exist. Yeah we go up and down in the chart but if you zoom out no ♨️ downswing is actually real on a players graph, they just go up and down. There is only the present moment, ♨️ that is the only thing that exists in whatever kind of esoteric principle. If the present moment only exists there ♨️ is no such thing as a downswing and there is no such thing as feeling bad about it. So if ♨️ you stay in this present focused ideology of constant improvement and constant growth, then yeah downswings will happen but then ♨️ you wont notice them because all you are doing is trying to improve your current self and trying to improve ♨️ your current bankroll not worrying about what it was yesterday. Chance Kornuth: I consider a downswing more of a monetary ♨️ percentage. For example If I lost 60k today that’s more how I measure it. I never really thought about it ♨️ in terms of not cashing X amount of tournaments or losing X amount of buy-ins.
