why am i so unlucky

every now and again great days of poker then just str8 south for weeks does that happen to everyone???

lol i remember a cassino movie(robert de niro).1 guys says if he dont have bad luck dont have luck at all.

yes it happens to e1,i think i use patience,i think i call good cards,then get my ass handed to me,and hate to hit pr kings an lose to a low 2 pr

I feel ya! One day I feel like I can't be stopped, then the next day just get my a$$ whooped. The awesome rollercoaster of poker :)

Yes. Welcome to the world of poker.

try to put more effort in your game, if you REALLY want to make your game better, you can. It just needs to come from inside you

It happens to everyone of us at any given time. Ultimately we all have good and bad days, positive and negative poker runs and nonetheless a fluctuating bankroll to go along wit it. Best of luck to you on and off the felts. Play the best you can and although you will have some losses, for the most part you will stay on the positive side given the fact you play as best as you can and followed through on the hands you should've on.

Ultimately through my experiences it's not due to "bad luck" but you are putting yourself in bad positions. You are probably opening too many hands, and when you get "lucky' with hitting your draws you think you are playing well and winning, however you are still making -ev plays and that is why in the longrun you are losing. Plug your holes, fix your leaks, and analyze your play if you want to improve, don't just base it on 'luck' good or bad. Just because you have Aces, doesn't mean you should win the pot, you have to know when to hold em and when to fold em'

why u have chosen the beginners corner instead of the poker talk sub forum is beyond me...maybe ure not unlucky just stupid and dont know how to play poker if u cant even get that right

Yes it happens even to the best of him. Your going to go through hot and cold spells. Just be patient and you will do just fine :)

and I happen often but stay calm and go forward

u should never go weeks on downswing... u should only have like 3 losing days a week out of 7.. just work on that game bro.. ur graph should be a steady climb.. if u got sick peaks n valleys (like i did for a good year) just keep studying.. poker is very beatable, profitable, and frustrating.... but remember this.... there will come a time.. when u will run worse, longer, than u ever thought possible , no matter how good you get.

"why am i unlucky" is deff the wrong way to look at it too man.... when i was a break even sng player (ups n downs constantly) i remember saying to myself " man this reg always has ak ! how come he always has it vs my aq etc" now i realize.. he was only showing me ak .... aka: he was only gettin it in ahead. youll get there man... there are lots of winning players, its not impossible

thats what poker is about but u gotta find balance, win enough to stay ahead even on ur downswings, if it was all easy then everyone would be rich poker pros

I always have good poker days.

lol some rough comments up their...

Thtas happening to every1 so be happy ,its not only you :D

I wouldn't know what it is like to be unlucky. I have been lucky my whole life. I think it is due to lots of good karma stored up.
Maybe you need to launder your karma.

hey wicked, if your so lucky why you wasting time with these free rolls, you should be rich by now dingleberrry

I don't consider freerolls a waste of time. Quite the opposite, winning something from nothing is more of a thrill!
I am trying to make a bankroll from 0 deposit.

Does calling other people names make you feel better?


I was just kidding about the launder your karma (it was a song) but I can see by your response I hit a nerve.
