To be fair to OP this thread is pretty funny.

Give a man a 50bb fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to call river bets, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Been away/busy for a few weeks so not playing...got back into it this weekend...same old same old - go up 300bb get coolered...make 100 back get bad beat. ItÂ’s just freaking none stop.

Started the day up 220bb only to get full house cracked by quads. Build my stack back up to 200bb get bad-beat holding KK by a guy who jammed in a 3bet pot with 67s chasing a straight and hit on the river. Build back up to 150 3bet with AQs and hit an A on the flop that has a flush draw. Turn brings a double flush draw, villain jams I call and he beats with me with a set of 2s .

Its like every time I get AK or AQ abs hit an Ace the villain has a set. Meanwhile, when I make a set no one has anything and I donÂ’t make anything.

**** has to turn around at some point!

Not today apparently - situation normal.

Go up 90bb then:

Raise AA from MP button calls with K5s. Flop comes out 8 6 5 with a flush draw. I 3/4 pot it villain calls with his 5 then hits trip 5s on the turn.

Very next get dealt KK. Same villain calls plus BB. Long story short, me and the same villain from the last hand split the pot with a K high straight - he had KQo.

Next hand I play after that pocket 10s on a board of 7 7 K 7 5 - villain had JJ

So it seems you get dealt a lot of very nice hands all the time but somehow you are still getting outplayed. Did you consider moving down yet?

Yup - I've been outplayed to the tune of +$126 in EV today at NL50. Touche!

These 3 are from the last few hours alone:

1) Dude calls a 4bet out of position with 76o, jams the flop chasing a straight and hits on the river:

its happening to everyone everyday
grow up, stop crying.
No one else except you in the whole poker universe created a post to cry about bad beats.
You even took the time to, ask for PP hand history, uploaded it into PT4 then copy and paste into forum format. What if you took this 15 min to watch a poker video about probability ?

You been hitting the pipe too much? Do you sniff glue or do you prefer to get high by farting into a bag and sniffing it? Either way - the ****ing subform is called "poker beats, brags and variance." ffs.

As for beats - 90% of this isn't about 'beats' it primarily about a none-stop flow of coolers that lasted between December and January. Where I was constantly getting +200 or more BB and losing it to a Full house over full hous - flush over flush - set over set etc.

It is about how, for 6 months I ran 26bb below EV, then in December and January I lost pretty much every hand with which I should make bank.

BTW - why are you here? I mean, at least the trolls are here for shits and giggles - as bad as they are at it - but why are you here?

In order to be considered running bad, I wonder how long it has to be going on? More than a lap, more than a session, more than five sessions, hmm I definitely thought 8 sessions of death was running bad at the time, definitely thought 18 sessions was ... ultimately learned it might be way higher than that. Of course amount of hands per session is a factor.

Poker, just as life is about learning from your mistakes. After this happening 1 or maybe 2 times this mistake should never happen again. Next time a guy jams flop, you insta fold. Make money, be smart man. Don't repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

So you lost when you were 67%, 86% and 65% when the last of the money went in.

How did you survive?

Wow! Should definitely quit your job and go pro!

All of the hands you're posting show super-marginal play by you. I don't care if you happened to have the best hands on those occasions, I'm sure there were times where you made plays like that and were dominated, and others where you were the guy who sucked out.

You're falling victim to cognitive biases - when you make a high-variance play and lose you think "it's just a cooler/ it's a bad beat," when you win you think "I made a smart play." In reality, you're just playing a high-variance style that is going to lead to big swings. You probably also suck at deep-stack play and are making high -EV mistakes when stacks get deep. Maybe setting yourself a rule to cash out from tables when you get more than 200 or 300 bb would help your win rate.

Try to apply some focus to studying away from the tables. Make notes as you play about hands that come up that you're not sure about and analyze the spots after the session. Try to focus on applying the right thought process to a hand, regardless of the final result.

It's way easier to complain though.

Well done.

You are way over thinking this. ItÂ’s not that I am getting sucked out on etc. ItÂ’s the hands that it is happening with. Nut flushes, straights, full houses and once even quads. The odd flush beaten by a boat happens - the odd set over set happens - 2 pairs get counterfeit. But like in one day of that stretch I lost with quads, 2 full houses and 2 nut flushes - one day. And it was like 2.5 months of this .

As for my suck outs - doesnÂ’t happen all that often. I like to check the equity of my big hands after and while sure, there are some 20 and 30% plays that got me the win, or turn check raise semi-bluffs that hit, it is quite rare. For the most part it is me getting the villain to the river with little equity then them hitting. I need to do a better job at recognising when they have hit.

Somehow, through all of this, I managed to maintain a flat ev graph though I did have my only losing month in January

You are like paisting only difference is that you play NL50 instead of NL5. You both suck and have serious mental issues with variance. Atleast he posts some graphs to prove he is running bad. You just pick hands you were smallish favorite. Peace. Btw I have zero faith that you have ever had a winning month in NL50. Lol.

Uh you just talked about j10 offsuit and 44.

Do you consider those to be premium hands?
