Oh that is bad news then, Hope you get back to normal soon.
Just been having a great session. £6.70 up on two/three tables and I have been playing some good poker. Had a fish taking chances all night. Nearly had a QQ cracked by a fish calling my massive oop 3 bet with J10 and flopping them on the flop. Got into an all because I thought he had AJ or a draw and luckily for once I actually sucked out. Karma and nice to win pockets for a change.
I am however a bit annoyed at my self for another hand further along. Once again I had QQ and I was OOP again, so some bets came before me and a massive 3 bet so I just called to see a flop, and these two guys(Who was never that spectacular playing all the time I was there) kept re-raising each other until the higher stack of the two pushed 99% of his chips for a raise. I had a choice whether to push his remaining 1% of chips to get into an all in with him and the other one but I had a feeling about AA/KK or both so I kept thinking until I ran out of time. They both did however and flipped over AQ and KJ. Crap I thought when I saw those then I the flop gave me more misery as the 4th Q popped out.
I could have been up another £5 if I called. Not often I fold QQ in an all in but with two other people I was weary. Did I make a right call?

Yes! I think you did at that moment make the right fold. They was telling you that they had Aces and Kings of had already mad a set. If what you say is true then I would have folded them Queens in that situation too. be cool

I guess so. Any Ace and king would kill me off anyway. A shame they had to keep donking between themselves as I could have played for the pot, but they raises just gave me thoughts of calls like that before and taking the wrong decision.
It's nice to actually start winning and slowly taking my bankroll up again as my confidence and thinking it was me was getting to me. I still don't feel safe at £15 but it is better then when I was on £6 yesterday. £25/£30 would make me feel safe.
Well bed now so we will see what the poker gods bring tomorrow. Night.

It's going all right at the moment, but a BI down due to a AA vs my QQ hand. Standard stuff but hoping to win it back soon.
It's like a pattern now. Play well for two days and build a little bankroll then the next day session consists of set ups and constant suckouts. Had enough of it now got my money in great all night but I keep losing to suckouts or a fish.
BR fucking £9.24 when I was up to £16 earlier. I poker is actual wank.
------------ £8, all on a 0.5/0.10nl table dont care anymore.
------------ And down to £2. Such a piece of shite is I poker. Had enough of this site all it does it give out suckouts. Nice river suckout for someone who of course had more chips then me, and some cunt oop trying to bluff 3 bet me with K9 when I had AQ and of course hits his K.
Waste of time trying to grind because I get fucked over time and time and time and time and time again. no matter how I play its always beats and suckouts. All fucking night.

They have messed it too much lately in ipoker. That transition in euro and GBP tables was not good for the lower limits players. The games now are even more terrible than it used to be, with many of them just donking the money away.

The amount of times someone has the same pair as me on the board and has a lower kicker they always suckout and win, its starting to get annoying. Especially as is is 99% oop for them yet they keep on calling even with 3 bets after the flop.
Had AA(me) vs AQo vs AKs earlier and I should have won. flop sets up a flush draw(Always a draw of some king when I have an all in with a pocket pair or set, and I mean everytime) and I knew the AK would win.
All session I have played great and everytime I get into situations where I am the favourite for either an all in, or betting on the streets I lose when I get my money in good. The only time I lose is when I am stupid, trying to chase a draw, or against higher pockets.
As soon as I start enjoying playing, play well and my bankroll starts slowly going up everything turns to crap for me...I know it;s not rigged but its turning into a deja'vue thing for me now and its effecting my confidence.
do you play on s**tpoker much?
And here we fucking go as usual. Take my last £2 to speed bottom stakes table and I start playing well and take my BR back up to £5. Get a hand where I have AJ on the button but a flush draw comes on the flop with one caller and a J comes down so TPTK. Player before me bets small so I 3 bet large knowing he is chasing some kind of draw and of course calls. Turns gives straight and flush draws, so I bet out again and he calls. flush card J on the river. Matey checks so I check knowing he has hit something. Cunt only has A2 suited. Another hand along I have KQ on the cut off. Q comes down, end up betting with someone oop who has AQ. Back down to £1.60 and pissed off. AQ guy deservedly won but the A2s cunt is what always happens, then always catch their draws but I never do when they give me odds on to call chasing. Such a joke is this site and poker.
And busto. Had 69p left and had 99 UTG. One guy bet out so I just pushed all in. He thinks and calls. He has 1010(How funny is that, set up) Flop gives me a lifeline as J9K comes down. Turn keeps in it. I first thought to myself I have won but every time I am short stacked and I have a winning hand the river always gives the other person with the win. As usual on I poker it gives the guy a Q and a straight. Third time it has happened today. I don't know if I want to carry on playing anymore as this s**t is starting to piss me off. I have not made or withdraw any winnings properly for so long because of this s**t all the time. I can never manage to build a bankroll as once I do the s**t starts to hit the fan.
Can variance really be this bad towards me for over 6 months now? Yes I have sucked out myself and lucked out a number of times, but compared to people sucking out against me it is no where near. Maybe it's me and my poker. Who knows, just had enough.

Posted by Phisix: You didnt send me a link for the help in the end mate for PT4..
------------ Just had a decent enough session. A BI up so a winning session finally if only small. Just had some short stack donk all in PF with k3s and I called with QQ and of course they get river cracked.
I sent to the e-mail that yout told me.
I put there the youtube link to the video where everything is explained. Although the video was not done for PT4 it worked prefectly for any expired trial version.

Hello mate
Well I just dropped in to say hello. I read your post and just feel so bad for you mate. I feel your pain, and know what it is like to have your confidence totally shattered. I took off 3 weeks in December and early January. The rest was needed. Perhaps you too need a break. Wishing you all the best

Thanks for the kind words. It's nice to know lots of other people go through the same thing. I could have prevented jumping up two stakes and going busto. I take rests all the time so it does not really change suckouts and idiots hitting luck.
Had £7 left in my bank so reloaded and still annoyed from last night I went on two speed tables. Was down to last £2.50 after crap and blinds but turned it around back to £8 then left. Nothing will change on that kind of table so I went back to normal tables now I was calm and chilled. Managed to finish on £9 something. Not bad I guess.
Anyone else get annoyed when you and someone else has the top pair but you have the winning kicker but even with tells to say you are ahead they keep calling you down raises or 3 bets and a lucky river card improves the kicker so you split the pot. Just had that against a fish, wanted his last £1 too.
------------ Plexo, I never received a email off you. Whats the title of the video then I can check it out myself from youtube.

Sorry to hear that. I think we both have a problem with getting tilted after a few suckouts/beats. It is a big leak for us so we need to somehow work on it.
I had a session earlier but ended up breaking even so I see that as a good thing in my eyes. I did start off bossing two tables I was up a BI until someone sucked out on me. Kept calling my 3 bets with 22 when he should of known he was beat hoping for one card for a low straight. Ending up hitting a 2 on the river as per standard when far behind. Going to play now for an hour or so. Hopefully I come back with some profit.

Anyone else have a problem taking short stacks money in all ins? Everytime I have pockets or call with a better hand and hit they always suck out. Sooo annoying..

I was up £3 odd at the end so a successful session. Even managed to crack AA with my 1010 after just calling with position.
Hoping to keep rising up the BR but I still don't feel safe until I am beyond £20. Grinding takes sooo long.
@Plexo:
SWEEEEEEEEET! Got my trial for Pokertracker back. It has all my info from the last time I used it. Won so much until I lost it all. Going to wipe everything and start off fresh again.
------------ Took a while but I got PT finally working and started fresh. It starts from an hour ago so it only shows I have made just under £2 profit but I made £3 today plus I cleared a small bonus so got another £3 free. My Bankroll is now sitting on £17.02 which is nice, nearly safe.
I could have been another £3 up but one table was feeding me scraps and flop dead and only another one I had a proper whale who cracked my QQ not once but twice by calling with crap and of course ladbrokes setting up straight and low cards. His VPP was over 50 so calling and sometimes raising every hand. He also slow played me with a set which I also had since I was BB but he had a higher kicker until I hit a fullhouse on the river and took all of his cash.
Second day of doing well so that means the third day curse tomorrow. Lets see if it is true.
You sure it worked for you?
