Talk about your run of bad hands/flops during play. Maybe this will help me be more patient. Can we have a subject on patience in rings and how long sometimes you will actually have to wait to get involved in a decent pot.?

Sometimes you have to wait awhile. Sometimes when that wait is over you have to end up folding anyways to a re-raise or whatever. Work on developing you patience.
Imagine Phil Ivey or some other great poker player is looking over your shoulder and watching you play. Play accordingly.

This is intriguing to me as well. At 50NL, I'm running approximately 1 buyin profit every 1,000 hands -- maybe a little better, 1.25 buyins per 1,000 hands? Is this about standard?

you're running 6.25ptbb/100. i'd say that's pretty good.

You can and will run cold, what really separates the serious players from the rest are the ones that know how to deal with that.
I dont remember where I heard it, but its a phrase that really stuck with me [Im paraphrasing]:
"In your poker career you will run worse than you ever imagined possible"

hahahaha. On a whim I googled "running bad" and (i think) the first link said this...

At first I thought I was just running bad. My online poker account was getting pretty beaten up. I was down $550 or so playing $1/$2 blind no limit games and $20-$50 no limit holdem sit-and-gos. Nothing seemed to be going my way. It had been a solid four weeks of losses.
|
Waaaah! I run bad. I dropped $500 playing 200NL. Roffle. Ok that wasnt really relevant to this discussion, but it was amusing.

Actually A lot of people run at 10-12 at 50NL from what I'ver heard.

in that case, they are killing the game and should move up.

I am sure gabe has some nice stories about running good and then breaking even for like 100k hands.
