ive been playing for over a year now, and it honestly feels like ive EASILY lost 70% of my AA/KK/AK hands. Its gotten so out of control lately that I began recording all of these holdings that make it to a flop. 12 days in and I am 0/8 when it comes to winning with these holdings. I do have one win w AA but that came by taking down the pot preflop. I know I sound like just some fish complaining but I am not exaggerating when I say this has been routine for atleast the past year or so and I feel that I have played enough volume for this to balance itself out. I am really just starting to think I LEGIT have bad luck. Like a curse on me or something. I am big on numbers and statistics, and the results are literally crippling my mind. I cant wrap my head around this with anything other than EXTREME frustration. 7/8 of those hands I was knocked out of the tourneys I was in, most being all-in pre flop. I have no way of accepting this as anything else. SO discouraging.

I know 8 hands is not anything close to a significant sample size, but these are the only definitive results I have since I just started following. and again, this is literally routine. The only AA/KK hands I win are either taken down preflop or there is no action after the flop. I know it is difficult to assess without a detailed playout of the hands, but honestly I feel like even with a flop and x amount of streets there is no way these hands should be losing at such an alarming rate. I watch live poker, I watch poker on tv, on the internet, and it is almost stomach churning for me to see how everyone else AA/KK/AK holds when I can barley get a break. Its like me getting these hands is just a set up for me to get KO'd.

hand historys or it didnt happen.

Shut up

Shut up OP you are just one little crying idiot who wants to win 70-30 100% of the time instead of 70% of the time. Nothing else.

Also, your mum is not happy with your life and that directly influences my sexy life.

So, please, focus.

send me your bankroll pls. Pm for my stars ID

don want 70-30 100 percent of the time, id like to just win these hands atleast SOME of the time. Only AA/KK hands I win are either preflop or there is legit no money thrown in the pot. anything that seems to have big pots or goes to showdown I lose.

only hands ive been tracking are at the start of this year.


AA loses to XX (one of only 2 hands that wasn't pre flop shove)
folded w trips, 4 card straightr draw n flush draw on board

AA loses to QT all in pre flop-trip Tens


AA to 93 offsuit 2 pair this was my fault I limped in and was called by small blind. Only limped bc i was utg+1 and the table has been somewhat aggressive to this point. Board was 9K3. He bet I shoved he called.

AA loses to K4 all in preflop lost to two pair on river

AA loses all in preflop live tourney QT
rivers a straight


KK v 55
loses all in to set in live cash. knocked out of tourney

Sick story

Shut your mouse

Premium hands are the worm on the hook in a sea of fish.

If I got a nickel for everytime a fish used selective memory to be like "omg I run so bad", or "I lose so and so, X% of the time" I wouldn't have to play poker.

Its possible that you're running bad (how bad though is another question), but a lot more likely that you over-estimate your skill so this feeds into your selective memory which is constantly looking for reasons to justify why you're in the red. And the easiest way to do this is to focus on all the times you got sucked out on and completely forget the times that you did the sucking out, or the times that your hand actually held.

And did you really play your hands all that good in the first place? Yes, you may have had aces, but the player who "sucked out" on you may have known your range is very strong and tight and knew that if he set mines vs your 3bet and hits then his implied odds are huge against you because you won't be capable of letting go of aces no matter what.

It's not so black and white like "I had aces and they got cracked", variance can take on many faces. These range from running very dry in 3bet pots to missing all your draws to your opponent hitting all their draws to making a misclick to disconnecting in a 250bb pot when you hold the nuts. Coming on twoplustwo and being like "omg my aces always get cracked" is a time-old story we hear all the time and its only going to receive skepticism and trolling.

Do you feel like you should be beating these games? What was you're winrate in these games over the last 100k hands? What is your standard deviation? What is your winrate since the start of this supposed "downswing" if we just call it that? This type of information is what you should provide us if you want anyone to take you seriously, and even then, what are you looking to get out of all this? You want a pat on the back and be reassured, "don't worry son, it will be okay"? Stating that you've "been playing poker for over a year" tells us nothing, you could have played 100 hands within that time-frame for all we know.

Saying stuff like "I know I sound like just some fish complaining" and "I know 8 hands is not anything close to a significant sample size" doesn't take away from the fact that both those statements are true.

Coming from someone who's played close to 4mil hands, and seen some super sick **** most people will never see (I have actual data to prove this, I'm not just talking out my ass), its cute when I hear someone complaining about a downswing which probably isn't even over 10k hands. Hone your game, review your hands, and then determine whether you're really just getting unlucky or playing bad.

^ No Strat in BBV

it was moved from BQ to BBV, didn't notice. Lol as if OP wasn't getting trolled enough, the mod who moved this is a dick

What is bq?

Sounds like some fake bbq,

Do you even meat overthere?

Mr sheep will be very mad

this is why I stay far away from here. I don't even know what you lunatics are saying half the time lol

your not cursed, i promise. this happens, especially live. make sure your playing the premium hands right, and have faith that your results willreturn to the mean

This kind of idiots really still exist?

lmao again...AA v 67s (h)
.05/.10
opp raises to .70 cents. I reraise to 2.50. opp calls. h2h pot

river Th
knocked out all in cash game


I mean **** me, how many times can I have the best hand pre shove on the flop or turn and **** 3/4 of the time im down by the river....****ing absolutely sickening.

I am 100 percent about to track every single all in I am apart of. this **** is getting ridiculous

I appreciate it, but the more time that passes, the more im starting to think not even just poker, but gambling in general is not meant for me...Im beginning to believe im just not meant to have money...any time I come up on money, something happens where I take a hit....doesn't **** matter if I limp or raise pre flop, whatever the fk is going to be up by the river calls. and at this point, ive lost so many aa/kk/ak that i cant fold them no matter what the board looks like....its more "rewarding" for me to see how yet another monster hand was cracked by a bull**** hand, and how my winning rate w these hands are at a ground breaking 10 percent this yr

I bought into crypto right before the last rise, then it collapsed...wanted to get into amazon and apple last year and opted for the crypto wave..

ended up buying into apple and amazon in October last yr...November was the worst month in the stock market in over a decade...

legit I probably am cursed

You have a gambling problem. So stop doing it. Buying stocks is also gambling. Stop doing it.

If you are not ready to lose money, if you're not ready to accept variance, if you're not ready to accept that you can make bad decisions, stop speculating with money.

You're not doing this as a hobby, it sounds more like an addiction.
If you can't stop gambling, find some help.

Just think of all the taxes on winning OP will never have to pay. Taxes on whining are still due in full, however.

i have a gambling problem because i play poker and invest my money? lmao sounds legit

im saying the sample is never significant live, ridiculous things happen over a 1k hand sample, a 5k sample etc

Unironically It's literally just you man. I've no clue how do you do it!
No amounts of books that you read or coaches that you hire will help you out.
If I were you, I'd quit gambling as you are the only person that I've seen that runs so bad.
Hope that helps.
