Default Re: Is it possible to just be an unlucky person?

I feel like im in the exact same situation as you regarding poker. I constantly build up my stack at the tables winning small/meduim pots where there is actual "poker" played, then get kings or aces and get all my money in against idiots on the flop or turn as an 80%+ favourite and lose. I make sure I analyse any big pots I play and the huge majority of the time I am a huge favourite when I play a big pot.

I know this is just variance. I know it must change. In the meantime, all I can do is strive to maintain a healthy outlook, not let it affect my life outside poker, maintain a realistic overview of my play, good and bad, realise that I can still learn and improve and continue to dedicate myself to that.

I dont see there is any other choice. All I know is that if I can stick to the above, when variance decides to be kinder to me, Ill be better positioned to be take advantage.

hope things turn around for you soon...
