OT: [censored] thread, Feb, READ RULES IN TOP POST

Suzzer,

I hate to be so blunt about this but I will because I feel like it will be best for you. Before I say this let me say I am not rooting for you to lose money this really sucks and I hope you can start making money again. Now here comes the blunt part.

Suzzer you had an 1000 sng stretch where you dropped 40-70 buyins. This is not because you are running bad it is because you are not playing winning poker. Maybe you should move down, play less tables, take a break or study more but whatever you are doing right now is not working and you need to change something so you stop losing money.

Seems like that Nick Rainey or that Spacewhatever guy played an incredible amount of tourneys for a while.

It might be dude. But you don't know that. I swear, that's why I get the urge to post hands in here and stuff. Some people get struck by lightning. Just because the odds are 1 in 10,000 or something doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Tonight was something black from utter hell., as were 2 other days this week. I don't think I've won ace-dominated in my last 200 SNGs, when I was dominated, and lost maybe 30 when I was dominating.

I was a winning player over 5000 60s. I don't think I'm playing any differently.

Seriously, even if I'm a freaking breakeven player, what are the odds of a stretch like that? Or are you saying I somehow went from being a long-time winner to a gigantic loser overnight? Even if I'm not playing optimally, which I admit is very possible, the odds of a stretch like that have to be miniscule.

I discuss hands with newt, jhub, tons of people. A lot of close ones. But rarely, like maybe once a session, do we find something that was pretty bad.

I don't know what else to say. I know it has to look like I suck. If anyone wants to look over some HHs for me I'd really appreadicate it.

I think I may be a 5% player right now and I'm hitting one of the worst runs you can have for a 5% player. Does that sound realistic?

I agree. But I play late at night, and on weekends. There were no regulars except rainkhan on the 114s. I think they're softer on weekends than they were before Party died.

You all know what those sessions are like where you just can't win anything. Well imagine the worst ones you've ever had - 3 in the last week.

Remember Irie's post about the thing which are not speak it's name? Well it happened, then it happened again, then it let up a little, then it happened again.
