    Ok, so I am running real bad. Mostly coolered. AA vs A10 and the 10 pulls out two tens on the turn and river, that kind of stuff. The players had no business calling the raise in most cases and got lucky. I know mathmatically, in the long run that this is still profitable.

    So my question is when things are running that bad when do you stop. What do you do when this happens?

    I just went through the same thing not too long back. The only thing I can tell you is don't let it get in your head. If this happens you will be fucked even longer.

    I had multiple things happen to me all at once. Things outta my control. Bad variance overall. Cold decks, coolers, horrible suckouts, aa vs. kk and even when you have aa the other guy hits a K. I know how it is and it can last a very long time.

    After all the beats and such I started to change the way I played and of course started playing out of my bankroll trying to take shots to build my account back. No doubt about it I went busto a few times over.

    After about 7-8 months it came back around and things straightened out for me and I had a decent score and got a decent roll back to withstand some variance. I got my head level and started tightening up my game. Im vowing to never go bust again. GL to you and hope you do well.

    Thanks. I know im not the first person this has ever happened to, but it doesn't make me feel any better. The last session went a little better so maybe it was only a few day thing.

    Thanks again.
