In need of some run good
This past week has been ridiculous. Hit a terrible down swing. Can't make a hand at all, and anytime I do, I'm either one upped, or they suck out. Luckily I'm a bankroll nit and it hasn't hit too hard, but fuck, it's seriously discouraging going this long and not getting anywhere.

wish we can pass around run good to each other on here, I feel exactly the same, let`s go get a drink and drown our sorrows:-\
Also, way ahead of ya on the drinks.
Here's my graph so far this year. At a glance it looks pretty awesome. But a closer look and you can see I've had several periods with 10k+ hand swings/breakevens. It sucks, but is part of the game. Some of those swings were made worse because of my play, but I think (hope) I've learned from them and improved.
Also might be a good idea to never look a graph shorter than "this month" or "this year".
BR nits 4tw.
you're missing a line on there

Seriously, I don't even understand how he could run this bad this long without having some serious tilt monkey on his back. His stats are so close to mine it makes me shudder to think this could be me >.<.
? you mean all-in EV line?
Sad thing is I've already done all this this month. Self excluded myself for a week. Spent that time watching some DC videos, going through some books, and re-evaluating a lot of hands. Came back after the week refreshed and everything started out good, started digging myself out of this hole and then it all went to shit again last week. Luckily I have a lot going on this week which isn't really leaving much time for poker and the time that I would spend playing I plan on doing a lot of reviewing.
One thing you could do is find someone to do a 'sweat'. Where they watch you play or you send them a video of a session you played. Then they can give you some tips. This is something I'm considering doing because I think there are 2-3 huge holes in my game that I can't see. Until I figure out what they are, I don't think I'll be ready to move up.
haha, see my new thread in stt strategy, I am thinking of doing videos as well!

What are the chances?
:bs:
The other day I saw a HH that was 3 way all in. AA vs KK vs KK. AA lost. I'd say that's pretty sick. These ones imo aren't that terrible. You get the money in as a big fav, that's all you can do.
You just gotta keep plugging away and play good poker. You still haven't played that many hands, and you are up right? One day, when you move up and are no longer playing this limit, you'll wish more people played like them .
Yeah, I'm not saying these are extraordinarily bad beats or anything, as I see it happen all the time. It's just ridiculous that it keeps happening over and over. Also, don't think I'm not happy seeing people play this way, I love it, as most of the time they're not gonna be hitting their miracle cards on the river.
