Too much bad beats and ignorant explainations in the 10k gauranteed. I lost my shit.

First off, let me say, I don't blame poor players for getting lucky. I welcome poor play, it is what allows me to overcome variance and rake, and be a winning player. If everyone played great, we would all lose over the long run.

That being said, For FUCKS sake!!!!!! IT was sooooo bad! Not any one hand by itself, but all of them together, I lost with a pair of queens to sixes who overbet preflop. I lost with nines to ace ten, who then tried to tell me he was the 60/40 favorite. I lost with the flush to a guy who had an open ended straight draw and the better flush draw (which he said was "17" outs). (What killed me about this one was when I hit the flush on the turn, that's when he shoved all in, and I called it, you've got the ace of hearts, and seven outs and your going to hit another heart to suckout. Turns out he had the queen of hearts which was still over my two, and sure enough he hit) And then kept on saying He had "17" outs, which even if his straight draw weren't drawing dead would still be 15. ARRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!

This all coming after what has easily been the worst two weeks of variance I have ever seen.

After I called that one I went on tilt and threw away the chips I had left. That's something I don't even do in freerolls.

I don't even want to play right now. I'm so disgusted. I have a ticket for the 1k guaranteed that starts in 20 min and I think I'm just gonna donk it away and delete the site. I know I'm just on a huge tilt and really pissed but FUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKkk!!!!!!

It happens. Hardest thing to do is walk away after getting in good and losing. Id say just relax and play either later or tomorrow. Buuuuuuut if you feel the need to just give away free money hit me up. I lost count how many times i threatened the lives of FTP support who had absolutely nothing to do with certain hands. OR DID THEY? Mwhahahahahaha :D

I love those days...pretty much happened to me in every tourney yesterday....always getting beat by a bad call on the river....yeah yeah yeah..

What site are you playing on? Same thing happens in live tournaments, you will get through the variance and bad beats if you practice good bankroll management. Good luck! Once you get in the higher stakes games the less fish you will see. Not saying there are no fish or maniacs in the Sunday Big Ticket or Sunday Millions but you are playing more logical players in the high stakes games. Try playing the $100,000 Guarantee on Sunday and see if you notice a difference from the level you are currently playing.

u gotta keep your cool and not tilt ever.

take a few days off. Go on a hike, go see a movie, clear poker out of your head - it helped me in my easier tilting days.

Well,at least you didn't bubble today like I did top 15 paid went out 16 ,makes feel like quitting too.

geez frank, at least it wuznt blackjack....thatz all I can say

this happens to me over and over again on any merge network skin, pokerhost, carbon, etc. the aggr. player tends to win even when behind a lot and a the river hits like crazy, esp. for dominated hands! its kinda ridic that u have to feel worried when u make great calls, and have em crushed!

omg!! yes! this is VERY true! figured out the hard way alooong time ago on PS id NEVER play BJ AGAIN online! biggest swings EVER!! BLAAAAAAAAAH.

bubbling will make u wanna stop playing for the day almost EVERYTIME, atleast makes me wanna take a break!

totally agree! but i do have same problem. i need to play smaller stakes i guess? bc ill have like 100$ and play 5.50$ sngs and 2c-4c 4$ buyin cash, and i got it up to that in about a week from 2$! but then "varience or whatev" takes me right back down playing the SAME games! what would u guys recommend?

its not blackjack nor is it bingo but sometimes I really wonder....last night I lost all my chips to hands going or calling all in preflop...all three time they were drawing to one lower card....like q9 vs aq...etc...fun stuff...

bubbling on the river will make you wanna break some shit!!!

bad beats make poker exciting for better or for worse

oker is tough to play sometimes, you really have to have patience with dealing with small stakes donks that play anything likr Gold.

yep - worst time I ever had was a month on Absolute. I started looking over my shoulder thinking I was being filmed for a prank show. Lost with AA like 5x, had my sets beat by over sets4x, lost with KK to under pair all in pre flop as usual. so a dude havein 15 outs and hitting is so freakin common its sick. Try playing hyper turbos if you want to go insane. I took 3rd last period to win like $15 prize but lost like $40. Pryor to that I was up $100 so profit went down to $30ish all said and done - but now its going back up. Ive Seen my AK lost to A8 so many times I'm immune to it. Just know ur making the right decisions and it will come your way - I won $400 or so a month ago and lost 190 of it the next but its all profit and turning back around already this month,
IF you play micros or free rolls - just know ur gonna get punched in the face gtd for a week or a month and then the flood gates open if ur any good.

BTW My latest donks all seem to be happening at final tables... SUXXX!!!! I play for 3 hours and right when I get to the big money My KK gets beat by a huge chip stack with 35s calling everything. this has happened the last 5x. Making 4x my buy in is still gd - but my god - making it to the top 3 is a month maker - you go to 25/50 buyins etc...

it happens alot its a freeroll

Gaahhh I have bubbled so many times lately in the PO freerolls. Out 11th then 16th at Bovada, etc. So frustrating, especially when you are sure you played well and someone sucks out with a gut shot on the river. Good luck next time, though-- long term you're on the right track!

hyper turbos are extremely variance based. their are good regs who are on huge downswings despite playing their best.
