I can sympathize. I've done much better, far more consistently in B&M games than online. It seems like it goes in streaks, and when in a bad one, nothing will work. I think online seems worse because of the large amount of hands we play in a relatively short period of time. We remember every bad beat and screw job, but not the zillion folds and regular hands that aren't outstanding in our minds. Last week I was in an online tourney with 20 people left. It paid to 12. I'm in approx 10th place. I get pocket 10's OTB. Fold to me. I raise a fair amount, trying to steal the blinds. BB raises me big. He's a LAG and has pulled this stunt with mid pairs a few times over that last 25 or so hands. I put him on a mid-pair or two overs. I go all-in, he calls with 7-7. Looks like I'm gonna be the chip leader !! Flop is 5-6-10. Yee haw! Turn 3, river 4. I'm busted. Dang near threw the monitor out the window. Swore I was gonna quit, for real this time.

I'm still playing. I think they call us masochists.
