im not saying this to be an [censored] but low limit games are beatable for such a big win rate that if ur having a big downswing ur game has serious holes in it

The low limit games are definitely beatable for a decent rate, but the obscene rake in the games plus the fact that there are less truly awful players around mean that even at these limits downswings will be much more common than they were in the past.

i always forget how serious the responses get when i start these stupid threads.

everything will be ok. i was just annoyed at some particular plays that seem to only happen when the villain is actually playing "correctly" against my hand. that's where you get the "how do they do it" and "do they see my cards" crap. i'm also irritable because:

a. i have jock itch or something and it is painful.
b. i cracked my lip at the corner of my mouth.
c. the left side of my jaw doesn't close so i can't chew easily.
d. i've either been bitten a ton by spiders or i have some other kind of problem because i have like 10 large red bumps on my upper leg. i'm all f'd up, haha.

i love you all, though.

Well the good news is that if I wasn't such a donk you'd have 12 bucks less than you do now.

hard times.

I know this and lately I thought about what makes a loosing session a loosing session.

And yesterday I started to take notes everytime some guy with an underpair hits his 2 outs until the river or everytime someone with just the gutshot hits until the river.

I played like 1000 hands (stars 2-4$) and I came up with this:
- 9 times I got f'd up by a gutshot
- 3 times some lucky basda* hit his 2 outs
yet I had a winning session

I know about equity and swings and stuff but how many times can you be "unlucky" without turning into a looser?
