I just think there's good days, bad days and fare days. Last night it seemed I couldn't make the wrong decision. placed top 3 in 3 SnG's and today I couldn't place in any of the 10 money games I was in. I have no explanation to any of it. Maybe tomorrow will be better or at least different. God Luck to All!

Yeah, easy explanation. Either:
A) Teh online poker is riggedz. B) It's just variance. C) Selective memory. D) You suck at poker.
Pick whichever one you think applies, and go with it. Because until you can look past one of those answers and see it for what it really is, you'll always be making posts like this.

I've had runs like that before it lasted about a week and then came good again but during that week I just slowed down my games a bit.

or just that pokerstars need money really badly- so they turned on the "special collect" program- a program that helps to fund the owners of pokerstars ambitions- like a new luxury car, a private jet etc. it is so good to have such platform for printing cash...

I am sure all poker player ever get same experience. Why you didn't stop before 22 tourney ? Hard to win in bad luck day except expert maybe. I usually stop when my good card lost to crap card ( or bad beat ) 10 times .

Pokerstars is a biatch. After 4 hours of play i was chip leader in a 200k tournament, the run of my life ! About 75 people left in the tournament and everything was running smooth. Then i lost 5 CONSECUTIVE hands, in all of them i hit monsters on the flop and either went allin or slowplayed. The sickest one, the hand that knocked me out, i flop 5 high str8, dude goes allin, obviously i call, he had 10-10. What'ya know ? Turn comes 10, river comes another 10. Hooray for pokerstars ! Now i only play the brm freerolls on stars, i'm tired of bad beats. At least i wanna have some fun spending my money ... so, smaller poker sites, here i come !

Cliffs: You chose to let villain catch up, and lost. When will people learn, at the micros it's almost NEVER EVER correct to slow play. Most of the time you're guessing what they have. Just get the chips in the middle and be done with it. No sense giving them good odds to catch their draw, as you're just inviting that donk with 10-2o to crack your pocket aces.
