    i just got stuck nearly 7 buy ins after being down 4 1/2 ($900) a few days ago. fortunately i won the $900 back the same day, but this is ridiculous. before this week in 3 1/2 years playing poker nearly every day i've never been stuck more than 3 buy ins. i'm pretty twisted right now, other than one donkey hand i played, i had the best of it each time and got sucked out. i flop the nut straight (no good), i reraise with KK and he pushes w/A3 (KK no good against 3, 3's). i could go on and on, but you've all heard it before. i feel like puking if i could blame it on my play i would gladly and try and learn the lesson, but when the donkeys keep hitting miracle flops after calling reraises dominated it makes a guy want to go postal....grrrr!!

    thanks for letting me vent...

    I went down about 9 buy ins at 1/2 earlier this weekend after posting a rate of 8+ bb/100 over 25,000+ hands (small sample size, yada yada). Dropped down and continued to get wrecked by varience and now my BR is in shambles. GG Life.

    that's gonna happen man, we all have days where we lose 8-10 buyins and we didn't play that badly. Just make sure you are sticking to sound bankroll management and you will be ok, I know that's beaten to death but it has to be done. If it's effecting your game, take a week off to just review hand histories and cool down.
