Default First BBV Thread

This is the first thread I've ever started in BBV. I don't like to brag about money, and as far as beats, it takes something pretty ridiculous to raise my eyebrow.

I'm just making this thread in the hopes that something -- anything -- can end what is happening to me.

I've finally hit it. The run of cards that you literally cannot believe was possible. I've learned that this sort of insane bad run (going on 2 weeks now) is characterized by the following things all happening simultaneously.

1. Getting 1 outered
2. Losing with nut flushes to straight flushes
3. Auto losing ANY freeroll type situation where you both have the same hand (ie AA v AA)
4. Auto losing any made hand vs draw confrontation
5. Repeatedly having to chop the pot whenever you have your opponent drawing dead to a longshot chop
6. Repeatedly being up against the worst possible hand in a particular confrontation (ie 7h6h vs JhTh on 5h8sQh)

An upside to this run is that my work ethic is at an all time high, because I realize that everytime I sit down to play, it's another opportunity to stop running like death.

I hope this post marks my low point.

Yes, it took me 3.5 years to run worse than I thought was possible.

Another thing this demonstrates to me is that the guys like cts that have played millions of hands and seen EVERYTHING are so much more seasoned than I am.

I don't post graphs. Obviously this thread does not deliver.

I'd just like to have something to look back at in a month and take a deep relaxing breath that the pain finally went away.
