Default Loosing month.

I have know played a hole month on and of and i am a loosing player at 0,25/0,50.
I have lost -114BB.BB is 0,50 i dont know think PT has $1 at that level.
But i had so many unlucky hands so i dont know if it is a sort of bad streak.

lost $100 pots on the river think 3-5 times this month.
I have only 2000 hands in PT. But i have played at ather sites that i dont have in pokertracker so .

Maybe it is 5000 hands.
Loosing player or to litle sample ?

The month before in "may" i have won like +84 BB BB, 0,50.
In like same kind of hands and that month sucked to nothing really happend.

So maybe i am breaak even player.

Maybe should tell you guys that i have lost 11 sessions i row the last days.

yes, your sample size is small. but you also didnt make much in may, so it may be that you are about a break even player. you need to rethink your game. I would guess one of your problems is overplaying hands that look powerful but really are not that superb like ATo, AJo, and KQo. Also, make sure you understand that when someone raises you, most of the time, it means that they have you beat. learn when to fold.

No that isnt the problem i have. I dont overplay AJ,AT,kq.
And i dont call so much. I almost always have the best hand and they out draw me.

On the river ofcourse.

Hello!

Probably its not bad streak and you are doing sth wrong.
Try moving down and post some hands and be more disciplined in entering all your hands to PT.
Losing at 100NL for 5k hands may still be bad luck but its highly improbable. This game doesnt have big swings because its pretty soft.
3-5 lost pots on the river (assuming you were 80%+ favourite when all the money were in the middle) is really not even close to bad streak I would consider it exceptionally lucky and not for a month but even for 1 week (but I do play many hands I admit).
Try 50NL for a while and get your confidence back.

Best wishes !

No.

You had it wrong many many more on the river. Almost always i loose on the river. Dosnt mather what i have.

What i mean is that i have lost 3-5 $100 Pots on the river.
And i am playing 0,25/0,50.

And i cant have all in PT beacuse i cant get the hands exported. Dont know why it dosnt work.

Ok I dont want to argue with that. I play at 200NL and I am very happy when I lose only 3-5 200$ pots in a week to 15% or less longshots, really (In fact I cant remember such a lucky week in my poker life).
If you start thinking like : "I always lose on the river no matter what I have" its good moment to move down for a while. Be sure you can grind it in 50NL game, get like 5k hands, if you have 10PTBB/winrate you will have :
a)more money
b)more confidence
c)good shot that your skill is enough to beat 100NL game

If you cant get this 10PTBB/100 you are probably not ready to beat 100NL game.
You cant play your A-game with "I always lose" state of mind ,really moving down should help.
Dont forget to post some of these badbeats. We , posters at this forum, are quite good in veryfying if sth is really a badbeat or not :-)

Best wishes

I am not a good enough or experienced enough poker player to comment on your concerns...

If other people are like me though, I would imagine you are not getting responses from people that could help you - I had to read your first sentence four times to translate what you were trying to say into English. A typo or shorthand is one thing, but c'mon...

Literally on the first line:
"know" = now
"loose" = lose
"hole" = whole
"of" = off

My advice - after 11 straight losing sessions - take a day off!
