At Wits End

[CaptSensible]

I've been on a losing streak for the last 6 weeks. I've lost 2 months worth of profit and am down about 1200 bucks. the last two days I've seem to come out of it but my recovery was short lived. This is basically what's been happening:


1. Losing every coin flip,
2. Having hands like trips, two pair cracked by runner runner on a regular basis
3. Having hands like KK only to find someone has AA on a regular basis.
4. Having hands like AA only to be cracked by JJ on a regular basis.


I play a tight game. I see at most 25% of the flops. Often times less.
When I have a great hand I play it aggressively. I don't fish. and more importantly I've only tilted about 2 days over this last month. I've kept my emotions in check etc etc etc.. But I really don't know what to do. I've seen so many runner runner flushes and runner runner straights that I'm beginning to think that poker needs it's own math. Seperate from true match, lol. Sure I laugh but then it turns into maniacle crying. I'm beginning to think some people are just lucky and others aren't.
I corresponded with Jennifer Harmon via email when I first started playing. She said she had this one horrible year where she lost everything but a friend loaned her like 50grand for a bank roll and she then became the pro she is now.
My game keeps getting better and better but my bank roll keeps going down. I question whether or not I should keep going with poker. I love the game. I have a true passion for it and a real desire to learn it. When I'm not on a losing streak I have a win rate of around 30% but I keep hitting these bad streaks that wipe me out. My win rate is now about 20% which is killing me because coming in 3rd place doesn't cover two losses. I'm down about 6 grand over the last year. The first 6 months of losing I chalk up to not knowing enough about the game but these last 6 months my game has improved 300 fold but all that translates to really is losing less.
I play only 20-50 dollar sit and goes. In casinos I play low limit cash games. I also play online and live tourneys. I've played in 3 live tourneys. the first one i busted out before the break. the 2nd one I had trip 8's cracked by quads. The third I came in 8th out of 80 to win 400 bucks. I think I have potential and am a good novice player but these losing streaks have me throwing my hands up in the air and thinking "what the hell am I doing? I just just give up this absurd game!!!"
Any advice, encouragement, shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for letting me vent
