I KNOW it\'s possible to be running bad for a lifetime!
That's why you should ignore the advice from successful players, and start with your own handicaps.
These were mine:
1) I'm a bad player.
2) Murphy's law is in full effect.
As for the former, we simply have to limit the subjectivety in the game. For me, that meant sticking to NL ... with a shortstack.
As for the latter, accepting the fact that suckouts are going to happen more frequently against me ... how can I play in such a way to minimize someone capitalizing on them against me? (see above)
For the last 20,000 hands, I'm consistently winning. For the first time ever.
That all said, I'm now curious about pure nut-peddling strategies. Hey, we all have our limitations ... and playing solid poker is losing poker for me.
But I tend to profit from abusing the nature of NL.
Good luck.

(ps But yah, all that said and done, it's entirely possible you are the one in million that will always lose no matter what. Improbable, but entirely possible. And in an infinite universe, with infinite worlds, and infinite realms, there's a lot of you out there. Sh!t happens.)
