Worst run of variance I've ever gone through

Trip kings against pocket 9's ran into runner runner 99 turn and river for quad nines today, AQ on a AQ3 board got the money in and my opponent's J/3 off wastes no time hitting a 3 on the turn yesterday. I'm not a believer in online poker being rigged, but I am getting unlucky and I don't know how to cope with it.

And likely, all this is probably making me play worse. Advice?

You know how many posts i have seen saying the same thing about merge? lol its fkn ridiculous

getting it all in pre flop unnecessarily will cause lots of variance

That sucks. Take a break from poker and get back to it once you actually feel like playing (win or lose). You need to have fun playing and until you don't feel that "fun", its not a good idea to play. Also, you prolly need to learn more about what you are doing wrong and right. If you are thinking that you will get unlucky, you're prolly not playing at your best.

True - or keep kunts with 34s from calling you. depends on the spot at the table - UTG I may be all in. Late with 1 caller - 3bet. I like 1 caller with AA, KK just to make some cash - but 3 or 4 way gets hairy - specially after the flop.

I feel ya Jason, it has really been bad lately, the freerolls should be called all in or fold

Take a break on some days and learn strategies.

wow thats a lot of money lol. i havnet gotten that high but just stay away from poker until you feel good and arent tilting.

That's because there is no variance in online poker.

Absolutely true! Like today I was in the $250k poker maximus free roll in 22nd place out of 40 left - the bubble is 26th place/ top 25 get a coupon into $250k satty I think.

Anyway - I get AJs and shove on last 4 players...guy next to me calls my all in with 88. Flop is JQJ!!! 8 on river I lose. If I min raise all in on flop or turn he probably doesn't call...
