Sucks to drop your bankroll to a bunch of guys that didnt have a clue but oh well.

Sure does. But on the other hand, those are really the best guys to lose it to. From poor players, you can get it back again. If you lose it to a sharp player, it'll be an ordeal if you ever get it back at all.

It's true, and the smart way to look at things, but it can be hard to feel it. When I actually try to, though, sometimes it really helps. It feels much worse to get outplayed than outdrawn.

Sorry about your rough streak there, jimmymat. I had a terrible week last week myself. It felt like the end of the world. I lost 8 out of 9 days. Now I'm having the best poker week I've ever had, immediately afterward, winning 441 BB in 32 hours, plus $200 in bonuses. Who knew that could happen? I couldn't be more surprised. It's definitely just a strange, hard game and you never know what's going to happen.
