Maybe I'm just complaining, but I've been running horribly..

I've gotten a ton better, I don't want to post on BBV either because i know what everyone is going to say

but it's just hard to keep grinding when i feel like my game is getting there but i get sat by this guy shoving ATC (yes, i appreciate this behavior, but you can only be so immune to it after a while)

he wins 8 out of 9, i was ahead every time

it was so sick

sorry to keep complaining, just looking for some advice in this kinda difficult time.

You just have to remember that variance is the reason why you can make money in poker. Without it only the best players would make money because it would purely be based on skill alone. Variance keeps fish coming back for more.

play better and you will do better. when you pick an event out of a long play it doesnt mean much.

ohh no what a pitty never mind. What do you expect us to say? Poker can be sick if you're getting your money in good then you will start winning. It's as simple as that.

To only thing you can do to help it is get better at poker so your winrate improves and thus decreases your chance of losing and break even stretches.

I bet it wasn't KK+ pal you would have been flipping a lot of the time, don't gamble if it's going to upset you.
