I don't know if i'm going to get flamed for this but after playing this game for four months...two of which after finding this site out...reading all the stratagies for tourny and ring games...reading people's hand histories and the advice given...using that advice to changing my game around...

i have come to the conclusion that...no matter what i do i can not win at this game because my luck is horrible.

i seem to be the only player here constantly loosing money and i've showed probably hundreds of hand histories to my friends (friends who have made hundreds to thousands of dollars on PP) asking if i've done anything wrong...and the reply is always..."wow why was he in the hand...you got owned"...

i know there are some hands that i played wrong and resulted in my failure...but the majority of the hands i lose i swear im' playing them right...i have the correct read...but they river me...i know it's a part of the game and i know that it happens to everyone...but the amount of times it happens to me is what i'm concerned with...

i make 50 dollars...then i have the perfect read...the perfect trap and i end up losing the 50 i made and the 50 i sat down with...i do make money...but i lose it faster than i gain due to things like this...

this is a rant and i'm sorry...but does everyone here believe that if you play good and play decent you can come back from these bad beats?...the sheer amount of them makes me cry and all my friends agree that i just don't have the luck required to play this game at all...

plus...NL25 and NL50 are all lotto games to me now...i even have one of my friends watch me play and help me out...he's amazed at the crap i run into...

sorry for this..just wondering if anyone thinks i'm a retard for thinking this way...and if nobody believes in such bad luck
