Default Re: Am I playing poorly? I think I am!

*** EDITED FROM THE FIRST POST***
THIS IS THE CORRECT HAND


Let me start by saying I'm new to poker, so keep your flames to yourslef. Thanks.

I get K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 3 limpers, Hero raise , SB BB folds. All but me folds who call.

Flop is:
A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets , SB re-raise
Hero calls.

Turn is 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Giving me the nut flush.

Hero call, SB re-raise etc, and we cap it.

River is:

4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets, villian calls.

I'm sorry for not using bisonbison, but Expekt.com don't support it afaik.

Reason I'm asking if I played this wrong is because i've lost 200 BB over 3 days. If I flop A set, I see Kn and Q come up, giving someone a stright. If I flop a straight, someone have a flush. If I have a flush, someone have a full house (Guess what happened above?) Hell I've flopped full houses only to be beaten with four of a kind. I know these things happen, and I'm not whining. It's just that it happenes every single hand I try to play , for 3 days in a row. I can honestly say I haven't won a single hand in 200-300 hand played in a row. Over the last 3 days I've won maybe 3 hands, total.

I know I play poorly, but even the worst player gets lucky once in a while. Is this a downswing? Is downswings when NOTHING works? No matter how hard you try?

I'm really confused weather I should play poker at all. I eather suck so bad I'll never get good at it, or I'm the unluckiest guy in the world

Now please don't take this as whining because I'm losing. I don't really care that I'm losing money since I play at the nano limits. I DO care that I don't seem to get any better, but actually get worse instead. I went from $2 to $50 within 30 days playing .05/.10 and now I'm about to be back at $2 really soon.

Was the last month just beginners luck? Is this how bad I really am?

I should add I'm reading this site and SSHE alot.

*** SOrry for the confusion =/ lesson learned.
