Haha, just like Matt Damon, I'm getting back in the game, but unlike Damon, I don't plan on getting manhandled by a bunch of cops.

Matt's bad beat was worse. Much worse.

There was no bad beat there. The best hand was best all the way through.

Just bad play. If you don't understand why, then look at it again until you do.

He didn't have to go bust on that hand.

6-6 is a favorite over K-Q.

No, I didn't miss the point. My point is that it seems you have a fundamental mis understanding of what a reasonable degree of variance is in a NL cash game. I would expect that people lose a buyin in X% of their sessions. I would expect that beginning players lose their buyins an even higher percentage of the time, say 30, 40%? I'm kind of pulling this out of my ass, but what I'm trying to say is that you should have had a better idea about how possible this was before sitting down.

You are correct, losing 100BB's (usual buy-in amount) is common amongst NL ring games, even if you are an expert. If you (OP) can't stomach being stacked, you should either move down or stop playing cash games.
