in about an hour i've seen the worse beats of my life.

1. AA with another ace on the flop and lost to a straight.

2. KK and lost to A2o.

3. QQ that made a flush and lost to a higher flush.

4. AKs twice and both times i made the straight. both times i lost to a flush!!!

all that in rapid succession. rough going today.

Man, this guy should change his name to elbitchmo'...

But seriously, we've all been there, and worse swings will come. Plus or minus 50 BB in a few hundred hands is fairly common, and it is almost certain that you will hit a downswing of 150 BB or more and/or a losing streak that lasts several thousand hands at some point.

Good poker.

In the 'for what it's worth department' I was really feeling sorry for myself and the drubbing I've been taking all weekend. But looking at your post and then reading all the replies I can only thank god that I didn't post my woe's cold on this forum. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/im...cons/crazy.gif

Try dropping 100 bets to complete retards in 1500 hands.
Then I may listen to your worst streak ever.

Until then, wanna tissue?

Hi mitch:

I'm assuming you're playing lots of hands very quickly on the Internet. With that being the case, you may have played approximately five hours worth of hands from my point of view in that hour. If that's the case, a bad run like the one described should happen every now and then.

best wishes,
Mason

I rarely get AA. Mainly beacuse I have never been dealt the ace of spades.
