I’m trying my hardest to stay positive while playing poker. It seems whatever I do I cannot win. It literally doesn’t matter what hands I play, how much of a favorite I am, I just CANNOT WIN at any consistent rate for it to translate into anything meaningful. I signed up to acr a few years ago. When I first started it was amazing. It seemed I was making a deep run every other day. This lasted for a few months and words cannot stress enough how much of a cliff dive it’s been ever since. I’ve played so many tournaments where I’ve entered the reg ending w a top 10% stack, too many times and yet 9/10 times I’ll either get coolered non stop until I’m out, or get 2-6/7j basically every hand until I blind down and have to shove. I just don’t understand how someone can consistently dominate ENTIRE open regs and then once it ends and approaches the money, it’s like a switch goes off. I’ll run the top 1% of my hands into the top .9% of my opp hands. Jus a quick stat and i know I sound like a complete fish but can you please help me understand how I can win kk and aa all in pre flop at less then 25%? Every time I’ve manually kept track it’s never been higher than that. I just went 8/83 all in pre while being ahead 56 of them. Last time I tracked I went 3/47. I know this isn’t a large sample size but I can assure you this is basically how I run on a day to day basis pretty much. I usually stop keeping track because it’s too discouraging to focus on such negative things. But it’s like it doesn’t matter how hard I try. Or how good I get my money in. It’s just a total disaster. Today alone I lost both kk I had to qq. Got it all in on the flop turn 3 times against a gut shot and lost to all 3 of them. Anything I’ve ever kept track was never a higher win rate then 50%. I’ve tracked flopped two pairs/sets. It’s astonishing how many four card flushes and straights I see when I have two pair+ The amount of times I chop pots are EASILLLLYYY 5 to 1 when I’m ahead compared to when I’m behind. I understand variance. I understand this can happen. But at what point does it stop? It it’s insane how pure I’ll run in any tourney w a less than 100$ top prize. It’s pathetic. I watch ppl stream and it’s like I have to watch a bad beat compilation to ever see what I go through in one day in one sitting. I’m sure I’ll get trolled but I’m being serious. I can’t win when I’m ahead. I can’t win when I’m behind. Just bleeding money. And the worst part is I’m playing correct. Would never complain about losing hands I’m behind in. But when you basically lose 40/50 hands while being ahead 35 of them. Day after day. For months and months. Until you bink tourney. And then it’s like it comes back 1000x harder. How many times do things have to happen before it’s no longer a coincidence
