whats up guys… new here. not completely new to poker but i haven’t played seriously online or off.

best live cash was 1st for around 4200 or so at a cali casino back when i first started playing poker in 2002-ish.

best online cash was chopping heads up in a $26 however much guarantee on Full TIlt in 2008 or so for 3200.

i’ve deposited small amounts here and there over the years since, usually just playing in random MTTs until i lose it and then stopping for months at a time.

recently deposited a bit on to pokerstars after another year off and played some MTTs and then signed up here and decided to switch to low stakes turbo 180-man sng’s and see if i could build up a little roll and MTT from time to time on there.

I have run INSANELY bad since starting this. and i have felt like i ran pretty terrible the past few times i’ve casually made a go at small stakes as well, but this is seriously getting pretty funny. $100 roll i’m down to $15 just playing a few tables of $2.50 180-mans at a time for a few hours at a time over the course of a few days.

just while writing this i’ve busted from 4. i understand there is bound to be a lot of variance in these things but it is definitely getting annoying.

i’ve written down my last 40 all-ins pre flop. didn’t write down the now 5 that i had and lost while typing this. worst position i was in on those was ahead 60/40 where i jammed AT suited late position and got called by KQ to bust 50th. the other 4 i had them dominated. anyway, i’ll post the list in the beats/brags section feel free to take a look if you’re interested.

on a side note, i play with in-game chat turned off and i’m not prone to tilt over bad beats.

anyway, good luck to everyone out there, see you on the felt!

lol just had to add this on real quick because in addition to losing 33 of the 40 i kept track of that were for more than a couple of big blinds forced all-in after getting knocked down…. i've just lost 11 consecutive, dominating in several, a flip in 4, and 2 hands with <15 bigs running QQ into AA.

 

i run good. 😉

 

'doh, miscounted. won 9 out of 40, chopped 2, lost 29.
