Some of this is going to be same song and dance every poker player experiences I know I need to get over it and I know the poker sites are not rigged in anyway. For the past 3 months seems the sites I play, have the always lose button checked beside my name. I don't think I am that bad of a poker play (obviously I am) I just can't seem to win.

I play strong hands like AA,KK,QQ etc, etc along with suited face cards and connectors. I stay way from weak cards and sucker hands like A6 off suite. I play the top strong cards semi aggressive. Medium cards semi passive and once in awhile play week pairs and connectors. there is always that donk maniac that calls and wins, I tried changing up my play style I try a little more passive a little more aggressive again seem to always loose (lately always rivered out) this has been going on 3 months now I know I am on TILT.

Wondering if it is because I am playing lower limit table which attract more maniacs and donks.

here is an example on a .10/.25 nl table I have KK raise $.75 all but 2 fold flop comes down Ts,Jc,4d, raise $1 both call Turn 2c raise $1.50 one finally folds the other all in $5 I study the table nope unless he has TT or JJ but I know he doesn't I have seen the cards he plays. I call River 4h I call to be safe he calls and shows 94 off suite I lose to 3 of a kind.

I kept track of a tourney I played out of 150 hands I had 2 playable and no paired face cards only medium pairs and low suited at one point I had Q2 all the way to Q6 consecutive each one a losing hand.

Thanks for letting me vent. Now here is my situation.

Once a month I can afford about $50 to $75 to deposit so I have been grinding the lower limit table trying to build my bankroll up. With out success since I feel I have not graduated to the larger limit table yet. I do play tourneys and usually come in just have the bubble has been broken or I am the bubble.

Wondering if I should save up a larger deposit and play higher limit table that would eliminate some of the donks out there.

Any help suggested reading any thing to help me get out of my slump..
if any thing I think I need to vent (wife lets me play but does not want to hear it)
