    Default How do you guys deal with this much runbad?

    I would have to say that this month of June, is the WORST MONTH I'VE EVER HAD IN POKER.

    Now granted I'm not a high stakes player, but I don't see how I can EVER move up in stakes, with how bad I've been running for the past 3 weeks.

    I have gotten 2 outtered, 3 outtered, 4 outtered and 5 outtered so many times this month after all the money went in.

    If this was live poker, this would be like 8 to 12 months of runbad.

    People say it's variance and I need to expand my hand sample size. The hand sample size is roughly 23,500 hands.

    I don't think I've ever had 3 weeks of pure run bad that was not due to bad play, but due to them doing massive suckouts
    against me.

    Today I had my worst suckout in the entire 4 month sample of 25nl. I got into a 4bet pot with AA, the guy flops top pair of 9's J kicker, and the other guy flops a pair of 9's 6 kicker. I everyone to shove their chips in and then a 9 hits on the turn and I lose a 340bb pot.

    Right now it is impossible for me to turn a profit in poker, due to how bad the RNG has been to me.

    If you look at the pic, I've generated $325 in expected value, and still managed to lose nearly $200.

    How can I deal with so many suckouts and bad cards in a whole month? Since I started really focusing on my game, this is like the first month where I'm going to lose money after investing several dozen hours in playing poker.

    There is no way I can move up in stakes, if I continue to run this horrible.

    Edit: The attachment didn't come out very well, see if I can make it bigger somehow.
