I lost 800 bucks this month just passed playing at 1/2 stakes... In the ring games i had KK a total of 13 times and lost with them 11 times... Worst beats - KK raise 14 bucks preflop, foe calls with 67 os hits nothing on flop, calls 30 bucks turn comes 7 calls 100 bucks and hits 7 on the river.. it is very fustrating and he def is a lucky donk, but what you gonna do ?
Again with KK limp in hoping from a raise from maniac on the button, no raise flop brings a J, i bet 3/4 of pot, he raises to 29 i raise all in, he cals, turns J9 and hits a nine on the river busting my KK.. very upsetting stuff, but think when these people dont get lucky you will ruin them and their chitty play.

Well, if you expect to always be winning you are terribly deluded, poker is a game of chance, while good play will give you an edge but nothing more. It's all about the long run. If you don't expect to ever loose, you really shouldn't play poker. That's where good bankroll management comes in, so you can handle swings, which will undoubtely come.

With a good bankroll management, you would have no lose a very quick $50 and $150 more. It's just a shame to see that but at least you quit and still have about $100 which is good enough to restart but remember the BRManagement system. Good luck.
Sorry azraell84 but this is the poker and expecially in texas holdem the lucky is a most important component.. ...the next time you will have most lucky

A KK is not a hand to make all in. You didn't considerer de possible hands of the oponents, even with the turn or river. Was a bad move and that happens many times. Learn with mistakes. Giving up??? Why?? You still get banroll, so keep playing right and concentrated...
i quit 
LOL
