Hmm.......... I would be interested to hear other people's input on this subject. I thought that perhaps a bad run of cards would be something you can play through, like working through an injury in a sport. However, today was just a giant kick in the nuts for me. I lost 9 buy ins in the space of 1500 hands on nothing but coolers. Sets over sets, Sets over overpairs, rivered straights, KK<AA, AA<66, etc. I had no idea it was possible to get so unlucky so often. I got to the point today where I was positive if I got it in ahead that I would lose the hand (BAD ATTITUDE FOR POKER). I really need to start making money as I don't really have much income right now and I KNOW for a fact I am playing good enough poker to win at these stakes consistently. It's just absolutely gross to go through a session like today. Thank god for rakeback or I'd be back to 2NL so fast.
