Default Month of April: -1500

Past year monthly average: +1200. Never had a losing month. Same stakes, same crappy opponents. Cashed out about 2 grand last month, which leads me to believe that the cashout curse is real on Stars. Lost my 1500 on about 400 SNGs this month so far. I'd post HH, but it's much easier to simply state that I haven't had a 60/40, 75/25 hand hold up in my last 100 SNGs. Can't win a race, can't come from behind. Running all my hands through SNG PT, and I'm playing as close to optimal poker as someone with the skill level to beat the 27s consistently can.

Already punched a hole in the wall. Any other suggestions?

Move down.

Seriously? Not one 60/40 or 75/25 in 100 games? I find that hard to believe.

choose:

a) take a break
b) try other sites
c) quit poker
d) keep playing (c'mon, it's your first losing month)
e) buy a monkey

Last 100 easy.

I was more looking for suggestions of things to punch.

I dropped down to the 16s today, which I didn't want to do. Dropped about 200 bucks in the 40 or so I played. I wanted to cry.

I don't have other sites to try. I refuse to do FT because they won't let me close my old account for RB. None of the other sites have the SNG volume I need [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'm pretty sure I'm quitting for a week. Because my wall can't handle much more abuse.

Wow. say you had on average 65% chance to win and you lost 100 times in a row - the chance of that happening is 0.35^100 = 2.6e-46.

The galaxy implodes before that happens.

My suggestion for you is to get a sense of reality first, and then make a post.

You're assuming I have 100 of those pushes in 100 SNGs. Which isn't the case.
