It seriously never ends, -3 BIs in 500 hands so far.

I know the feeling, today seems a rush of 3 outers hitting the river when good hands get called - but mostly no one calling good hands AT ALL. Aw, any positional raises get called alright, but real hands? nah.

I am seriously getting tired of tarding around at nl25 and nl50 now. I'm tempted to just shortstack up to a grand and just hit nl100 once I'm there, but the sheer number of hands will probably drive me crazy.

I've even contemplated going back to poo-flinging LHE and EVEN (gulp) SitNDonks....

Yeah, I know, time off yadda yadda.

is this the same reason why you play NL100 and NL200 and then jump up to a NL600 game?

You could be on to something there. A seem to have developed a distinct lack of patience lately.

There's a lot of power in positive thinking. Get your mind right, get the confidence back, and you can turn this around.

On top of the beats above, I'm having a nightmare with KK today. I've seen 6 flops with KK, and an ace has flopped on 4 of them. The only reason one didn't flop the other 2 times is because the villain had two of them.

Honestly, at NL 200 these guys are REALLY good at catching cards [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Make that 5 aces flopped out of the 9 times I saw a flop with KK, and THREE AA vs KK. Oh, and had AA cracked the only time I saw a flop with them. I think thats my variance done for the month, pokerstars.
