Seems like you had your fair share of good hands even though you lost...

In that period, I flopped 10 sets.

It's better to not get these hands at all than to get them and lose.

Sounds like a 70 hand session I had the other night.
Had AA once, AK once and flopped top 2, flopped 3 small sets, flopped a straight and to top it off flopped a royal. Down 5 BB over that span. Guess I need to work on flopping more royals.

Still running like crap here... Just like to add something that is becoming really annoying. I'll win like 15bb within the first hour and finish my session down 10bb.... ARG. Yet, I am fully confident and will continue to play winning poker as I suggest you all do.

Just to show the other side of luck, ran into someone on this rush at 2/4. Sat with immediate positon on her the whole time waiting for her luck to turn around so I could take some of it...

You know, when I'm running bad, I like to step outside for a walk, or go to the gym, or...


oh wait... sorry.

You should consider the 30 bet rule. If you're down 30 big bets, quit. You either are playing badly or they're not as stupid as they look. At least there will be no more 90 bet losses.
