I dont know what it is but it seems to me so sick. some day I got so many bad beats, this is so sick. I play and moveng up very slowly, cos I play nl 0,02/0,05 blinds and then bad beats are comeng. and my bankroll drops down a lot.. and I am at the beginning again :S and so frustrated I give you example: have played 2 days, about 3000 hands and moved up slowly.playing 6 tabels at once, and then bad beats comes, I hited set severals time and all of these went all in on flop, few on turn and got beated on the river. (smt like that. had 88 flop 842 and KK hits his flush on the river.. or KK hited K on flop and AK hited his stright on the river)
Okey I understand that this stuff happens all the time on poker and because of that it is important to use bankroll management, what I do. Its okay if I got beated and then playing up again, but my problem is.. if I got beat, I got many of them at the same time.. like I said I play 6 tables at once.
and that means that for a long run I am staying at zero point if you know what I mean.

standard at microlimits... don't pay much attention to it and keep playing good poker it's just a coincidence that you got bad beats "all at the same time"

When I win many pots in a row, I loosen up my play a bit and play more hands as long as I hit the flop most of the time. Sometimes I even move up 1 limit for the duration of this "roll". But as soon as I think its over I play my normal limits again, and tighten up a lot. When the opposite happens, I may even fold AJs or similar; or even move DOWN a limit when I feel I am carddead. So I win more when I am on a roll, and lose less when varience hits me.
Hey, this is poker; you have to addept your game to the circumstances.
Yea variance can be a b*tch sometimes .... & sometimes you go on strectches where it feels like the BS is never ending, been there. But heres one thing ive noticed in my own game after reviewing bad sessions in PT3; when i take a couple of bad 2 outer beats early in a session, i usually go on to play bad & tilty even though i dont really feel it too much at the time, the stats clearly show tht i do so now everytime i take some bad beats early on, i quit the session, take a break for an hour or the day even, clear my head & come back playing alot better.

This is great advice. Im going to start implementing this in my own game & see how it works out for me riding heaters & slowing downswings by moving down.

I lost over 200$ at NL25 today. Lost AA to KK twice. QQ run into 88. And Full house over full house and Set to runner runner straight in one session (4 hours). And then some of it to tilt.

OMG I took a little break and started again with a good mood, but I just cant believe it. I am sooo frustrated at the momet.. this is sooo sick. OMG!
I played about 20 min and lost about 50% of my bankroll :S this is crazy, I played good and strong hands and on 6 tables at once like usual . I just cant understand this :S all the fking time with river, not on flop even not a turn but on the fking river. I just cant understand :S like I got some kind of curse to be beated on river :S I thing I am going broke now.. so much hours to make these and then just bad beats comes up and take it away from me about half an hour. Just So sick!
I really like to take out this beats and timeing to show these for everybody. But I dont know how to do it.
Post some hand histories & im sure some of the experienced mobsters will tell you if they really were bad beats or just bad play on your part & give you advice on how to improve your game.

Bad beats only tend to come from bad players, those who cant fold, what I tend to do is except that at times they will donk me, and due to this ill not be making huge pots unless I know Iv the nuts or a big lead with outs. In outher words just keep the pots smaller when playing the nits. But as Mast3rKush says might be worth postin some HH, I mean if your SS and puttin all in on set to a FS player ready to make str8 flush or something, then he aint letting a $1 bet go etc.

just unlucky days for u or to many tables at the same time just try use 2 or 4 and more concentrate on the game and opponents play if i want win some more i just play only 2 tables in the same time because i need some more learn my opponents and its work more harder i win some more off this 2 tables play then i play more i stay at the zero off win or just become a looser
I agree that there are to many fish at micro. For most of us, we have to grind our way through that though. playing tight solid positional poker helps, but there's no defence for a table full of hyper aggressive fish that push constantly with no rhyme or reason at all.
Posted by JordanBomber: too many fish at micro limits, thus too many bad beats lol
too many fish= easy money
1 day I hited 4time in a row KK vs AA. Sometimes cards are very cruel, there is nothing to do. Stop playing poker a few hours or a few days and change your mind. Continues to play good poker and luck will return. GL

What a buyin rule are you using? If you do the minimum, 30 buyins, then u must have lost like 15 buyins in 20mins, that'd no unluck or variance, but rather bad play.Overplaying hands, tilting, bad decisions, or whatever... Do you play deep- or shortstack? In shorstack this is more likely to happen, but 50% in 20mins is still too much. Its hard to say more than this, since we havent seen any hand of you. Did you saved your hand history? If no, there is an option you must activate and then it automaticaly saves all your played hands.
Just dont tilt now,no matter how much you have left in your account, its still valuable money.
