I can relate to bad beats and losing on a regular basis, I went from 7m to nearly nothing, I play tight raise low, have pretty much the best hand going in, someone will call a 4000.00 beat with 2 3 offsuit which a normal person if the flop is not in their favor will usually fold but there i sit with AA in hand, flop will come up that has absoluately nothing to do with 2 3 offsuit the next card comes up its a 2 person will raise all in you call their bet the river card is shown its a 3 whoohooo your pocket aces that you now slow played is the worst hand, this happens on a continuious basis then to rub in your loss even more, you have this pop up screen that says this person has more chips then you, well its no wonder that they do seeing as one has just lost a majority of there chips to the worst hand going in, then you have what i call the set up hands, wonderful connectors A K suited diamonds, most of the players will raise you will call their raise the flop comes wow 10 j of diamonds, another raise well with A K diamonds you have that chance to maybe get lucky and get the royal flush you have been teased about for a year, but nope the person that calls all in with 7 9 offsuit catches 7 7 which now gives the person trip 777 and the AK J10 does nothing for you but really can you fold a hand like that knowing half the people just try to buy the pot?? so really you push people to purchase game cards or post you can win a game card, you punish the allin people for a small time period, so personally it doesn't matter how you play your hand if you are on that 6 or 7 week losing period you are going to lose if you have 7 people at the table and you are at level 60 or higher usually the persons that have below what you have get lucky and that is how you go from 7m to pretty much nothing, maybe we need to play like they do buy the pots, pretend you actually have a hand rather then playing real poker, because if people were to play real poker the game would actually be more of a challenge so instead people with the best hand going in will always lose because that is how it seems to be, the best hand always loses, the crap hand always catches. so really zynga it doesn't matter if you are a good player a solid player it goes in cycles my advice is if you have a hand play your hand if you see the flop doesn't work in your favor which more often then not it doesn't fold or you will end up chipless.
