    I don't know what else to do, I have been arctic cold carded for about a week, I just can't hit anything, Here's just a couple examples of my continued bad streak, is this just part of variance??? I'm getting discouraged.

    Last night

    So I take my beat and decide to try again ..but as usual I'm cold carded and am forced all in with the best hand and as usual I lose ... why do I lose so many of these? am I just unlucky or am I taking too many coin flips?

    In the second hand why raise to 800 when you only have 1060? Push allin. Not that it woulda saved you from this donk who can't fold KT, but for future reference that's the right play.

    Go play on Bodog for a while....change things up a little. You are not doing anything wrong with these 2 hand. just what theMayor said, you should have pushed. He still woud have called though!!
