Quit poker because of bad luck?
 

I'm thinking about giving up poker. In the last year, I have gone all-in about 1000 times, and should have won 74%. I have won 24%. I am down $650,000 from my EV. I am still up a little overall, but it's so hard to take the frustration of constantly losing all-ins. I have probably tilted off $200k or so because of this. My bad luck is consistent between sites and in live games. I don't believe in luck, but I run so bad it just can't be explained through statistics.

I've been above my EV on all-ins two days in the past 3 months. I keep hoping it will stop, but it never does. In all seriousness, how many times do you lose before you give up? I can't spend Sklansky dollars, and this is the most frustrating way to earn $3/hr. Has anyone ever experienced this or know someone who has? I honestly don't know what to do.

I call BS. 24% real money vs 74% Sklansky bucks over 1000 hands is like winning the lottery 3 times in a row.

i certainly wouldnt give up, OP. sooner or later you're due for a SICK UPSWING!

If you ran averagely over the last year you would have made 850k given what you say. This means that if you run hot you are going to be a millionaire within a year no doubt.

Dude, this is sick. The odds owe you 500 allin wins more than you deserve just to get back to even. Move up and just try to play the biggest pots possible for allins and you should be good.

I'm assuming he used a sklansky bux calculator. Here's a thread that does a good job of explaining what it is and how to use it.
