Message: [QUOTE="David G, post: 1714602, member: 75960"] Well, it's been over 5 months now. I had what felt like a "break" earlier, but it only lasted one or two days and it may have been skewed by just the fact that I had been used to running so bad that it felt like a dream to win some of the hands that I was way ahead in. I have to quit. It pains me. I gave a good amount of 20 years of my life to this game and I have a deep love of the game that has solidified through ll that time. I gave this more than enough chance, but I'm not going to regret it as I was only doing what I thought was right, and that was trying to play through this, regardless of the fact that I was in foreign, uncharted territory. Only bumping this thread as a courtesy to someone, like me, who may be searching the internet for advise and information on this type of running bad, I did. Because I've given so much of myself to this game, I'm going to try live or possibly another site. It's hard to accept that I'm just some random anomaly but I can say I'm closer to accepting that and it will make this change in direction a little easier to ingest. This is not a "bad beat", it happens a lot actually and is very common. After having this exact scenario happen so many times I can't count anymore (it happens almost daily, and I play every day) I just want to post a final hand and add another feww 1,000 to the lost ev pile. This one was 13.5k for first, I have roughly 100k in lost ev in just the last 5 months, and I'm only a small stakes/mid stakes player. The winner of the hand went on to chopping the tournament for 11,800.00 in less than 30 mins later. I finished 25th for 11,578.26 less then him. It is what it is and for whatever reason I can not win those hands. It's the only thing that separates "good" players from "great" players imo and it's time I just resign to my fate, as depressing as that sounds. Great players win those types of hands, or at least one of them in 20, where even one changes their overall results 2 fold or more. I do want to say I'm looking forward to getting on with life. I would have liked to have poker in my life, and I always planned on it being there and prepared hard to keep it there. Unfortunately, there are going to be rare cases just because of the way randomness works and there will be some that run under expectation, for even a lifetime. If my posts here can do anything, I hope they save those very few people from any unnecessary hardship. I know all too well how hard it is to quit this game, especially if you have a love for it. If you show similar signs though, quit the game and move on. Let me be an example of time lost and heartache spent. Don't do what I did, life is too precious. gl guys [/QUOTE]
