Worst run of cards ever since yesterday and possibly no end in sight.
I have a sore ass ive been getting #$#@$@ so hard. AA bb and button shoves w/ A9. 9 on flop and my rectum clenches just in time to see the 9 on turn. No biggy just 20k in chips. Same game i work back up and get QQ in bb. Dive from early position for 9k. Call and face JJ, J on flop. Finally after all that i still have a 20k stack and get QQ in middle position. Guy utg dives for 12k with 99. Sigh. 9 on turn. He says sorry. grrrrrrr.... i go out next hand with 108. i dive with it and bb calls with A3. 10A8 flop turn river 3. I am not making this s**t up.
Earlier in the day i was lubed up nicely as well. Each game i lost in i was repeatedly sucked off i mean out on. 66 with 6 on flop and someone dives again into me with AK on a qj6 board. obv 10 on turn. K on river. JJ utg and i open for a min raise and get min raised back by button. i flat and J107 on flop. I check raise allin and face AA. KQ turn and river. its like unless that jack comes im out of the pot but it does come just to screw me even harder.
I have many many more stories but the points been made. Incredibly frustrating is the fact most of these are for mega pots that usually allow you to get into the money. I can't believe how many times i went from 20k to 5k on a suck out only to get to 30k and an even better pp only to have it happen again. Im not diving im not overbetting. Im just running horribly.
Sorry to flame the Poker Gods but venting is better then tossing a mouse thru the wall. Which i promised id never do again

It hasnt even started. Statistically im playing better and have already achieved a few of my monthly goals as a result so ill have to adjust them. Yesterday and today i still managed a couple min cashes but those games i had top 10 in chips when i got donked out by inferior hands.
Luckily due to bankroll management i cant lose more then 20$ a day on mtt's. Thats with like 10 rebuys in the frenzy too. It just hurts to see something that usually is growing dwindle and playing better doesnt help. I feel powerless about it. I know longterm +ev is all that matters. In the back of my head im already envisioning the result of extended run bad. extended run good.

Don't feel lonely! This is the first weekend I can remember that I haven't placed in the money in one game. I've played so poor, but no different then normal. Just can't seem to hit the cards when I have then hands. Besides getting my AA kicked by a 9,10 by someone calling to the river and then again AA today by a 6,4 Allin call. Play'em slow I lose or play'em fast I lose. That's the way it goes some times. Maybe we'll do better next weekend and through the week.

Still it hurts to lose.
Of course very hurt lost like that. We think play well, but ..... medium hand opponent win. really luck factor dominate us No problem for you Micro since your percentage more than 15%. are you serious about that ? I think you get more

I play at hero, just register last week. And just play freeroll , my luck at this moment very very bad Micro. No intend to deposit at this situation. I often get situation like this. Deposit no help, cos I just play micro. And a lot people play gambling. Just now I play freeroll, after got good stack, rank 15 of 200 + remain from 2000, I got card dead, until my rank down to 32. Finally just got $1 . Got bonus from Titan $10, play step s n g, start step 2 with $ 0.55 buy in,just win once from 8 trial. And lost at step 3 . SAD
Even I never win mob calender since christmas At least I am not forget how to laugh
