    I can't help you there. Been happening to me for the past months. Lost every single bankroll I had because of it. I'm playing freerolls now and it's like being stuck in hell.

    i'm going through a bad patch at the mo too, i recommend just keep pugging away, your luck's gotta change sometime.
    some people find that taking a break from poker for a bit makes them play better when they get back, maybe you could try that.

    I think you should change your name. I don't know if you use this name on any site but I'm surprised the moderators allow you to use it here.

    We all go thru the bad spells at some point! When it happens to me i try to take a few days off, or i try to mix up my games. If you play more than NL ie. Razz, Horse, Omaha try one of these. If you really must play switch to limit games until you streak is over, save you some money.

    Default Bankroll

    Manage Bankroll.

    Bad streaks happen. As long as you are playing within your roll, you should be able to absorb the bad streaks. Two days of losing should not be enough to kill your roll, if it is, you are playing at too high a money level for your bankroll. And definitely do not try to play at a higher limit when losing, that is a recipe for disaster.

    You need to determine why the suckouts are occurring. It can not be all luck. Are you not betting enough to get the draws out of the hand? Are you overbetting? Are you behind in some of these races? Do you usually play lower limit games with many fish?

    If pure luck is the main factor, the only thing you can do is keep playing the same way, the odds even out over time. Look at the non-luck losing situations and determine what you can do to improve your game.

    Later,

    Trying to battle through bad streaks gets me off my game. I start getting gun shy when i should be firing. When i hit on a bad streak, I'll step away from the game for a few days.


    Mr. Vito said it best " As long as you are playing within your roll, you should be able to absorb the bad streaks".

    Default it's getting better

    Thanks alot for the suggestions, it did actually help me figure out my problems. Switchin up games helped me get my bankroll back up to a decent amount. I still feel like luck is running against me, but thats life.
