I spoke too soon. The poker gods have struck again. I wasn't losing my bankroll fast enuff with bad cards, so they changed tactics. Tonite, I lost 4 times with 3 of a kind. once to someone who'd flopped a higher set, but mostly to top pair that caught, or some idiot on a draw that decided heads up was good pot odds. I also lost with a full house. For the longest time I've been on a bad run, sometimes with break of a day or 2 to give me false confidence. For a little bit I win again, but then the bad beats starting rolling again. It's so bad now that if I'm 80 percent to win, I think its a coin flip. I've lost 3/4 of my stack and 90 % of the time it's been coolers, or bad beats. I've got skills, knowledge and experience, and I'm completely helpless.
I must be freaking sick to keep playing this game. Nearly 5 months now I been steady losing with the strategy of playing good poker, and I keep coming back! What the hell is wrong with me, I don't know, but i need a shrink or something. Punching walls, cussing at the tables, venting in the forum, I'm acting like a total jerk.
Here's what poker is doing for me. Taking my money, torturing me and making me feel bad about myself. I'm a good man. I know it. My friends, family and co workers know it. But poker turns me into a whiny, ranting little bitch. It's just so frustrating to keep doing what you're supposed to be doing and losing.
When I start school at the end of April, I'm not gonna have time for poker, and that's probably for the best.
If you're looking for an online poker site. Poker.com is the best around, but to be sure you wanna play online poker, hit yourself in the nuts with a sledge hammer. If you like it, online poker is your thing.

A break may do you a lot of good. Or maybe do as I do....I only play a couple private games at a good forum...the play seems to be sooo much better and we dont have near as many suckouts . That may be due o we all have respect for each other as players and it makes for a much more enjoyable game , win or loose .
I agree with Skinski, either a break or a restricted schedule. Most of the games I play are forum based buy-ins, I enjoy these games much more than anything else I play.
SnGs also seem to offer a great deal less varience and are decent bankroll builders.
