Re: I am eternally running bad at stud (no content).
You played 100 hands at 2-4 and lost $200. You lost $25 on the antes and $34 on the bring-in for $59. So you lost another $141, or 35 BB's, on the hands you played.
I've had more sessions than I can remember where I've won 1-2% of my hands after 150 hands. That's 5-7 hands out of 150. Usually they're folded to me with no pots. I've had exactly 2 long winning streaks that would even come close to the losing streaks I've had. If poker was fair, I'd be up hundreds of BB's. Instead, I've always been slightly above break even, can't figure out for the life of me how and looking at you complaining about a bad session. If you're a real player, get back in the game and prove it.

Re: I am eternally running bad at stud (no content).
As some of the best poker players have said, the game is not about winning in the short term, it's about making good decisions. As long as you do that, you are going to win in the long term. It's really important to get away from worrying about your session results, because it can lead to two things -- the first and most serious is going on various forms of tilt. The second, and more insidious, can be developing a "low variance" (aka weak tight) playing style that can mean you'll have more winning sessions but win less overall. Both of these issues, related to being results oriented, can and do turn players with excellent knowledge from winners to losers. It's really just a mental thing, like having the discipline to fold your split 10s when a K raises and a J calls in front of you.

And weak tight is the last thing I'd be. I'm much closer to LAG.

Re: I am eternally running bad at stud (no content).
Becoming LAG in response to a losing session is a form of tilt, as you know. I actually hear people say, in live games, "I can't win with my good hands, might as well play my bad ones". That is tilt, plain and simple. After all, if your goal is just to win pots, you'd play every hand!
The low variance thing is more subtle, and when I hear someone like th poster who claims to almost never have a losing session, I think (a) his statement does not conform with reality as I understand it and (b) to the extent it may be true, it could be he's playing a lower variance but lower long term EV style because it makes him feel better short term. Assuming your are adequately bankrolled and psychologically stable, it's pretty much always best to play the most +EV way possible.
