Re: Life Time Running Bad
I do not get too exited about pocket pairs, I can lay down hands to a 3 bet on the river, I can fold when I am beat, I can read the board very well and I most certainly do not play above my bankroll; I just moved down this month. So leaves "I play too many hands," where 30 vpip is considered too many....
First of all, I have read posts where winning (high limit) players are put in 50 and even 60 percent voluntary. If for meta game purposes is besides the point. The point being that 30 vpip may seem high to some and low to other.
The main flaw in my game is bad luck and running bad. At times, far and few these days, I "tilt" because someone hit a one outer on me. However this is not common as I have learned how to control it.
I have not learned how to run good however, and this is why I am not that great of a player. I don't focus only on the bad and I have maybe one "good" day a month where they don't hit with junk against my top set or flopped flush to runner runner boat. So maybe I am playing scared now, but I just don't see this in my play. What I see is me always losing as the favorite.
I study study study but it makes no difference because when I hit the table I get sucked out on, period! I have tried different sites to no avail. I have tried different games to no avail. I have tried live to no avail. I just plain run bad all the time.
So, in theory is it possible to be doomed to lose by the cards even if you are playing what is considered winning poker?
