Yes I am up a little once again which is nice. Goes to show even after some major losses following BRM and jumping down a stake is good for you. Although I was on $30 at one point but I am still happy with $18 as that is a decent bankroll for me on 0.1./0.2NL.
I have not played any poker since m last update as been up to other things. I am playing a deep stack freeroll on Ladbrokes right now for a bit of silly fun(I have 10 tokens to use there so possible BR's) but I hope to play some tonight. What stakes are you playing on over at stars and whats your username?
Edit: This is why I never deposit on I Poker anymore it is rigged to s**t and always has the stuff happening to me. Completely sick:
If your wondering why I went all in after the re-raise I had to go out for an hour so wanted to double up and not have to worry about playing for a while since it is a deep stack freeroll. Such a rigged site.(Open in new window to see a big version)

Only a freeroll in the end but the top 5 prizes would be great to win.
You copy and pasted half of that haha. What tables you going to be on I may drop in on one for a bit..
What are the odds on always losing when you flop a set? I keep getting my money in good lately and I keep losing. Just flopped a set of kings and had position over someone else. 3 bet him pre flop as well. Flop comes K310. He bet out and I 3 bet him quite big as there was a straight draw. He ends up thinking then pushing all in so obviously I call. He flips over AJ0. As soon as I saw that I knew he was going to hit a Q and true to pokerstars software he RIVERS a damn queen and I lose a $9 pot. Took me ages to get to $4.50 as well. This keeps happening to me when I have a big hand. I cannot be this unlucky can I?
------------ Same s**t different poker site. Less set ups than I poker but the suckouts, coolers and River saviors are off the chart on this cunting site. Another bankroll crushed. Odds and variance don't exist and if anyone says so your a cock as when it rains it pours for me. I play well and I still lose.

You might need to take a break and work on the fundamentals of poker for a time. If nothing else the break might allow your mind to calm down and recharge the old batteries. I know the break did me a lot of good. Wishing you all the best be cool

I don't need a break really(Although I have not played in two days) I think it's just beats plus me not being as great as I think among other things. Always plenty new things to learn and every experience will make me better so it's just a matter of learning more, trying to get and play better ect. I have suffered some pretty bad suckouts lately but that is poker I guess. The occasionally stake jump/shot/tilt probably probably does not help either when I am only rolled for 10/15/20 or under BI's for the bottom stake.
Going to top up £10 later and should give me around $16 or something to play with.
Playing very well and this s**te happens. Did he have better odds and outs or as usual am I just unlucky?
This site is actually b******t. Twice I have lost with KK to some lower hand. Also tilted away a BI too. cannot just get a break can I. Think im going to just donk JJ to AA now instead of playing with them as they always get crushed by s**t. $5 down in the space of 5 minutes thanks to that first bad beat.
------------ I write out a nice edit but my internet mucks up at the wrong time and I run out of edits. Short part was I lost another KK to a fish flopping a flush with 45 OOP, and my tilting away the rest of my BI with KQ on a J high flop(Had a set of J's as per standard) and then being stupid and tilting all my remaining $11 BR on 0.5/0.10NL. Stupid things to do but my anger was sky high plus not sleeping much last night. I was lucky to crush it and finish back up on $20.
I really need to sort out my anger after a few beats as it is a nightmare for me.
------------ More b******t. As usual I get my money in good. When I have KK vs AA I always lose, but when I have AA I always lose. Funny huh.
River just turns the screw in even more. Few hands before that I flopped a full house and the river gifted a third K and a guy who had AA won. Whatever I do I always lose lately.
------------ More b******t. River rigged as always.
Constant fucking suckouts and river saviours now. cunts
------------ Online Poker is such a pill of s**t it really is. The amount of suckouts, river luck outs and of course fish ALWAYS hitting their draws is appalling. Such a b******t game. Starting to fed up with it now because me playing well never works. Such b******t I have witnessed on Zoom tonight is fucking unreal. Always losing when I am ahead or I am odds on to win until the usual suckouts, or magically hitting the draw card or magic card they need.
Lost about $30 so far tonight with 15% to either my mistakes or better hands with is fair but the rest has been to utter fucking s**te. should be up about $50 at least but standard fish and idiots or suckouts always win.
Hip ho fucking ray. Take my money.
------------ Busto once again. This site is a fucking joke. Non stop beats and suckouts and always losing to worse hands. Never playing at this site ever again, its a joke and rigged to boot. Ipoker and Pokerstars are the worst poker sites I have ever played on.
Standard river suckout I have been getting ALL night. Had enough of poker its a piece of rigged s**t. I know its not me as I get my money in good EVERY FUCKING TIME when I am ahead and should be winning but being a rigged piece of s**t I will never win here.

God I seemed angry last night after all of that. Never seen much crap as I did last night and the only explanation I can think of it me playing Zoom/speed type poker lately is the reason for all of my bad luck and negative variance towards me? I don't see why having extra hands would ramp up the variance but it just did not seem right.
Going to go bad to ladbrokes and grind boring micro stakes next week in a test to see if it was those types of high variance speed tables or if it was just me and my luck. Ladbrokes has better bonus's for me and doesnt take years to gain points plus actually have English pound tables. Will see what happens but I am getting fed up of losing to crap all of the time.

Well I have my good day and bad days like anyone else. Dude I know I have already told you that the Zoom/Rush/Speed are nothing but crap. I do not understand why the hell any serious player would go near them, except very rarely with no more then a buck just to have fun and piss it away. Them tables are for s**t! best of luck to you. be cool

Posted by hemuli: What is wrong with you that u think zoom/rush is not for serious players? If ur good, u get more hands=volume=less variance=profit....
So why am I constantly losing to suckouts, river hits and beats when I always get my money in good? I am not the best player in the world but I know I should be winning those but it always goes against me, of course a few of those are going to happen because it can but and a few I can deal with but when it's a constant thing it starts to make you wonder, unless I am on the mother of all downswings which has been happening since last year. Also, I make mistakes and also lose to better hands like everyone else but 70% of the biggest pots I have lost to lately are due to super bad luck.
Maybe Zoom type games are not for me and that is my problem, who knows but I play the same as I do on regular tables apart from taking more pot shots with my ranges. I know to everyone here from my moaning and constant beats I look like a crap player but I have managed to grind to a semi winning player a few times until I have gone out of bankroll management and risked everything. When I lost of that £450 bankroll I made from £5 on ladbrokes last year I lost it due to better hands me being an idiot and higher stakes then I should but I never lost it due to all this crap I have witnessed on Zoom/Blaze/Speed type tables.
@Ronin
I know but I find them fun due to the faster hands, softer and you make points faster but surely all of these constant beats cannot be just due to more hands or fish. I will try going back to the lowest stakes on slow normal tables and see what the difference is. Tbh I never had these problems until I started playing Blaze then zoom, so maybe it is just not right for me even though it should not make any difference.

So u are saying that on the zoom tables the "suckout" comes more often like %? Its the same game just more hands per hour nothing different... If u multitable then u could easily play these also it would be the same thing (almost) how many hands do you play? You have a tracking software? What is your ev graph? Im sure that if u make enough volume you will get almost the same as your EV Think that AKs vs 27o, AKs is only 69% to win the hand preflop so of course he gonna get the suckout once in a while...

I understand about getting suckouts and stuff but in the situations where I am ahead and they only need a few outs and I am nailed on to win and it also features a big pot I always lose. Like I said above I know I am going to get them but the amount I have seen lately has been unreal, unless its just down to bad luck/variance. Obviously the PF all in's I am going to see them more than usual since anything can happen(Even though my lose ratio with KK and AA is really bad), but the amount of times I have had a set, straight or flush and only a few cards can beat me I also lose. If it happened 50% of the time I would be okay with it but it has felt about 95% to me tbh. I have even lost a few flopped fullhouses too always in the river but that is not really a beat to me. Other than suckouts and beats when I lose it is due to me being stupid or being bested by a better hand or player so those don't tilt me, but it's these constant suckouts and beats that are getting me busto, not just losing by playing bad or bested by better hands ect.
I would also like to note this is all based on Speed type tables as on normal tables everything is normal as it should be. Beats and suckouts are much much less then I get on speed, so losing big is usual my fault etc.
No I don't have a HUD anymore and I really miss using PT as it gave me an idea of what I was losing, leaks ect, but until I have enough money to pay for it I cannot get it. My plan is to try and win enough poker money to buy it but I think I need around £60 since it's $99 to buy the full holdem version.
I was multitabling but only two on zoom/Blaze due to the fast hands. Yes, I have seen more suckouts then I should. I also tend to win more with TPTK when the player has more outs and could more than often beat me then losing to a Flop or turn all in when I have a big hand and should be winning it.
It would also help if I started reading up and improving but I have a problem of getting bored revising, like I said I am not the best player. I do wan't to improve all the time but I am a lazy bastard.
AK never wins much for me in PF all in's unless it's in a MTT for some strange reason, especially against short stacks who are donking.

Im afraid not man. It's not the case of a beat or two and remembering it for weeks, it really has been more than a lot lately.
Just found this PT graph from the last time I was doing really well and I have gone downhill since. That was all done with grinding normal turbo tables and one 4th placed MTT win for £60. I don't know why I have gone bad since then, but I have gone on two short decent grinds on Ladbrokes but once I hit the £60 mark(Started at £5 or £10) I would just stop doing BRM. Have a look.
And also my best sick run on two tables making a lot of profit(before going on a big downswing on both tables )
Open in another window to see them bigger.
Just trying to prove I can do well, but I don't thinkSpeed poker is for me from everything I have witnessed and lost, which is weird considering it is only more hands and faster. I just hope one day I can get back to winning ways, but what is weird is I know and play better than I did when I was last winning in that graphic above...
