Re: Should I quit due to excessive bad beats???
[ QUOTE ]
The thing I want some feedback on is this, I have a couple questions,
1) Am I just an unlucky person and it will always be this way so I should just stop now instead of thinking it will even out??
2) Is this just a phase I have to go thru?? and if so, How does anyone turn a profit when this is always happening???
3) is the internet just rigged or just so stupid I should forsake internet poker all together??

OK.
1) If you're thinking this... well, you can't seriously be thinking this. Things WILL even out in the end. The probability of you accumulating nothing but bad beats for the rest of your life is essentially 0%.
2)Yes, it's a phase. No, it's not always happening. Maybe it's just happening to you.
3)Internet poker is not rigged.
There are a few things you could do to help yourself out at this junction. You are obviously a bit shaken by this turn of events, so maybe a poker hiatus is in order. A month or two off, and maybe "your luck will change," as they say. Everyone goes through streaks occasionally. If these beats are really getting to you, you may be playing at a higher level than either your bankroll or emotions can handle. When stuff like this happens to me, I take a break and play Omaha or 7Stud instead. I've read that Scott Fischman tries a new game when he's running bad in another too. Even if you don't know any other games, you could refresh your mind by learning one. It may even improve your Hold'em game.
If you don't want this type of stuff to ever happen to you again, then yes, you need to quit poker.
Otherwise, you just gotta stick with it.
