Default Poker made me cry

I dropped $400 tonight playing B&M 100 max no limit and I've dropped $1500 my last few sessions playing that and 5-10 limit. It sucks being a losing player in a donkfest like that which makes it clear I'm bad at poker. Even though I've been winning online lately, I hate poker but I can't quit because I don't know what else to do. Thinking about this made me cry a little toward the end of my session.

did you really cry, or is that just dramatic license?

also, I can relate, my last 3 live limit sessions have each ended up with me a sizable loser when I have zero doubt I am massively +EV vs every single player at the table. It's just variance man, fire up some porn and spent a few minutes in your happy place.

iron, i know exactly where you're coming from. don't know much about your situation, but all i can say is if you're relying on poker for an income. get a job.
then poker will be fun again. and it will be a bunch of extra money.

Hahaha, I'd be soooo busto if I didn't have a job. I never really planned on doing poker full time but losing still sucks. I think I'm about break even over the last year or two.

Why in the world would you think I could make money on poker if I can't beat B&M 1-2?
