i lost to 4 two outers and then 2 three outers today at PS. Anyone have such a long streak of bad luck at this site? Im literally sick to my stomach. My last game I just lost and starting swearing at everyone and lost my chat.

I'm down 32 buyins in less than 24 hours. Blow me.

32 buyins in 24 hours? Why you must be really bad.

and your point is......

Basically, the cards are breaking even. You wouldn't be posting this unless you expected them not to, therefore, they must have been breaking your way for a long time. There is a reason that good money managers always have 40-100 (or more) buy-ins available. It's because you can go on a downer and lose 50 buy-ins during a normal bad streak. You won't lose 50 in a row but you will be losing far more than you win during this time so get used to it. That's what makes poker so challenging.

Thank you venazula. I do play winning poker. Ive been playing the 10+1 sngs at PS for 2 months. Started with 50 and moved up to 1500. If it seems like im crying then im sorry, but the chances of losing 4x when i have an 80 percent edge and then 2x with a 65 percent edge is pretty crazy. it was consective too. hand me a kleenex i guess, but im not used to losing like this.

If this is true and you learn to deal with the downswings, move up.
