GL all.

poker is a frustrating game.

How many buyins downswing?

How much of this "embracing variance" is one person supposed to take? Frustrating is an understatement.

HOW MANY BUYIN DOWNSWING??

A lot! Almost tapped out. I play low-mid stakes ($10-$55). My HHs in the past 2 months are the worst things I have ever seen. Bad beat after bad beat etc.

I truly believe I would be rich and living in costa rica with a bunch of poker friends if I ran average......I will keep it strong though. Might have to look into staking if this goes on much longer. I wish I knew the key to winning hands when you have all the mathematical odds in your favour. I really thought I knew until this low point. It is just crazy. I study and work on my game so much every day just to get sucked out on deep in tourneys when I really need it. Ugh!

1st time venting on 2+2. Feels good lol.

Not as many buyins as me.. f shoor

suck it up
