I noticed this yesterday. Weird!

Don't pair the board! Don't pair the board!

I need to quit this game for a week. Utterly brutal run. Thanks for listening to my constant bitching this last week.

Berge it seems like you lose a lot of pots against people with less than 50bbs like this. Are you in a downswing?

[Berge20]

Yep - Probably the worst downswing I've ever had.

Absolutely everything is going wrong. Utterly amazing. Some would say rigged, but... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[1p0kerboy]

Bergey, are you down &gt;10buy-ins?

I've never had a streak that bad, but my game has much less variance than yo's.

Are you playing $50NL now?

[Berge20]

Yep, down about 10 Buyins and I have moved down.

I'm sure some of it is bad play, which is why I need to take a break. Still, seems like I'm flopping set into straight, turning set into flush, etc, etc over and over. Combined with not getting paid off when I'm ahead or getting outdrawn, it is ugly.

I'm only down 7 but it's been exactly as you say here. Yesterday was flop top two pair into straight, flop set into straight and flop trip into a better kicker... of course no action when I hit set or better unless I am beat.
