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.

Bad luck... We all had that. Like having 4 flush since 26th February or losing 3 out of 4 flop nut flush on post-flop all-ins. Next time it will be better. Take a break, that's all.
