Thanks, Gabe. You're a superstar. Hopefully you will continue to kick ass in poker and accounting.

Ugh, I completely understand how you feel. I think that the 2+2 game a week or two ago was my last real winning night. Since then, it's just been a long string of either making very good 2nd best hands wih redraws that don't come, or making best hands hat don't hold up.

Tonight, I decided to switch back to full-ring for a little bit while I tried to rethink my game. I limped in MP with JT [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], and ther were a few other limpers including the maniacal small blind. Flop came KQ9, check/check/check, I pot it, SB makes a HUGE overbet check-raise, I call and KQ turn a K to kick my ass. If I had been in the same situation with KQ, I would've blanked on the turn and river.

Somehow reminds me of the last session I played, which abruptly ended when, in a 5 minutes span, QQQ got beat by 9999 and 888 got beat by 2222.

Crazy game.

edit: bad beats like that do tend to happen in "bunch" for some reason ..

Don't worry dude, it happens to everyone eventually

here's a little 4.5k downswing of mine recently. Same story, 1-outer (my first ever!), 2-outers, 3-outers etc.

Looking back on the hand histories it was mostly bad luck as far as I can tell. The key is to remember that you are a very good player, and there are many very bad players out there. Just keep on maximizing your EV.
