Cant win losing 100%, depressed, bankroll dying.. (Poker is bull****) Cant win losing 100%, depressed, bankroll dying.. (Poker is bull****)

Not sure wtf im supposed to do anymore.

Ive gone from $740 to $100 becuase of losing 100% of hands.
Its either i split the pot or i lose simple as that.

Examples, Just happened to me and i smashed my phone becuase im sick of it and im sick of pokerstars.

I sit here with Pokerstove open looking at all my HH and its a DISGUSTING amount of times the favourite hand is loosing, how is poker a game of skill when the best hand never wins?

What a joke and now im depressed and just feel like cashing out and never touching a poker site again, i dnno how anyone can make money when the favourite hand just doesnt ever hold up.

      Just two that happened to me, Thank god i split the AA but come on.. hitting a K when calling the raise.
      Dnno what was going through his head when i called the pre-flop, he must think i have 72 or something?

      ughhhhhhhhhhh i give up,
      Also im losing 100% of AK vs Ax
      Or PP vs Lower PP

      $740 to $100
      Yes before anyone says i know im playing out of my BR and its becuase i dont care anymore, i dropped to the $3's the other day and the same thing happened, im not sure what advice i can recieve when i am more than confident 80% of the time im the better player and get it in ahead and lose 100% of the time.

      Ive seen peoples scopes who have made 4-5k who i play reguarly and there AWFUL yet im now losing money becuase i cant win favourite hands.

      It just cements the idea that poker is like 5% skills 95% dumb luck

      You got your money in bad twice, managed to half-suckout once and are now complaining?

      If you were as good as you think you are, you'd know that this is b******t.

      Seriously, dude, what do you expect us to say?

      Take a break. Sounds like you need it.

      When you start again, play within your 'roll.

      The long run can be mind-bendingly long.

      Hope it turns round for you soon.

      You answered your own question.

      Learn about tilt, variance and how to play poker, or go with your feeling and stop playing.

      That's what I thought when I saw the first hand. Got it in bad then complains when he sucks out to split the pot.

      [x] playing with 49 buyins
      [x] crying about a 42 buyin downswing

      That is so ridiculously standard man

      Should have moved down a long time ago

      Stars RNG is the ****ing devil I agree but that doesn't mean you got anyone beside yourself to blame

      (oh and H2 prolly just ship pre)

      First hand you got it in bad.

      Kings are never folding headsup here when you bet the flop.

      Both times when the money went in though, you was behind anyway...

      Not sure what your complaining about, these aren't even really bad beats..I see more brutal stuff day in day out.

      If you have lost so much of your roll, clearly you're playing out of your limits, your complaining that your worse hands lost and you say 100% of your hands lose. I'm hardely surprised when you are getting it in 100% of the time worse. Drop down to $1 or $3 heads up which you are now rolled for and work on your game because I don't think you can beat the limits you're at especially when you think you got it in "good"


      I'm unsure as to why you're showing these examples? Doesn't even make sense to what you said....Do you know which hands are better here?

      The first hand,

      Sure you have an over pair on a draw heavy board..when shoved on you think just because you hold an over pair in your pocket that it warrants a call and win everytime and you "should" be ahead? 2 pair is very possible, sets are possible, straights are possible. Not sure what your issue is here? It's heads up, 8,J os is a monster and you actually sucked him out for a split pot.

      The last hand, you didn't even bet half the pot, villian has more than enough equity to call here. You should be 3/4 betting that board or even potting it.

      You might've picked literally the two worst HH in history to post about 'how bad you're running'.

      You got overcommited (all-in) with a big pocket pair on a dripping wet board and had to suckout for a split pot.

      Other guy didn't get committed before he hit his set, and stacked your dumbass.

      Seriously, if you post 10 HH where YOU actually suffer a bad beat (as opposed to the 1st HH, where you got lucky), you'll get a tiny shred more of sympathy.

      Also, on that second hand, what the hell did you want him to do with KK on the flop in that spot? You sure as hell are never folding that, not HU. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh, just terrible.
