Im going to quit for the year ..

game just about pi$$es me off more than just anything nowadays .

Ive gone from playing $200nl to $50nl and i still cant win ...ive won nothing for 5 months ... and i just cant be bothered anymore ..

I was sitting here after playing for 90 mins ... which is normally my threshold and i tend to stop then ..

But no .. I was having a bad session again .... I just cant hit a barn door for sessions after session .... every KA ..the flop is 987 .. and so on ..

About 3 mins into this session .. I had J7o on the BB and the button / SB saw a flop .. the flop was 577 ... button checked, SB bet and i called ... only for the button to raise and the SB call ...

I knew straight away .. i was not ahead and folded .. one had Q7 and the other had 55 ...

Now what the feck is that !! .. 2 friggin mins into a session ... just bull ..

Anyways ... i was happy i made a decent fold ... i then made a good fold with AK preflop .. someone else called and the guy had AA ... I then had 2 flush draw with middle pairs against middlish stacks and i missed them both ..

At the 90 mins stage ..i knew i was down as id hardly won anything 6 tabling ...but for once i felt i could carry on and grind it out ... so i unticked the auto post blinds and was going to post here saying even though id had a crap session .. i was going to carry on !!

Well before the blinds came to me ..ive just lost with KK>AA .. and then UTG KA was countered by the BB all in when he never friggin raises .. so thats KK or AA for sure .. especially as i raised UTG .. so i folded ..

Its just bull ... allmost every session is the same ..

I quit for the year .

I just dont know ... ive totally lost my way with poker ..

This game was easy .. I went a couple of years without ever losing ... and at much higher stakes too ..

But it seems to be all wrong .. for ages now ... im trying to figure out when !

I know i went something stupid like 100k hands at Stars FR with running like break even or something similar ...and ever since then .. ive kinda struggled ..

Maybe its FR .. my hard drive died a year ago ... think it was a year .. and although my hand histories where kept on a external hard drive .. ive not bothered to re-input those hands at sites ive not played since ... so i cant check for sure ..unless i re-input the hands onto PT3.

I cant believe ive just run bad at the FR tables for over a year .. it cant be right ....but i used to win all the time .. and i played 6 max in those early years.

I just wont admit i cant beat typical FR players that play at 10/5 ...

Ive just signed up to the ongame network .. and granted its only 2 or 3k hands .. but im showing a loss with AA,KK,QQ,KAs and KAo ..

I just sit there and miss everything with every PP .. every 87s, JTs and the i get QQ or KK or AA which will either walk into a higher pair or they flop sets ..

If i see a flop with these hands .. they are being beat allmost allways .

pfffffttt .. i dont know ... im pretty sick of the game at the moment ...i make some good lay downs tonight and im still shafted ...

I might call it a day ..

Seriously though Llan try and learn a new game, maybe Omaha. You're clearly not enjoying playing NLHE at the moment and I don't see the point of continuing with something you dislike. Just come back to NL when you feel your enthusiasm has returned.

I've been doing the same thing recently. I quit playing limit a few months back and have been learning NL MTT's and STT's but my enthusiasm is beginning to return for the limit game so I may return to it in the new year. I also withdrew almost all my limit BR and invested most of it although I bought a 50" LCD plus a new laptop and speaker system so I could see some rewards for my play. Seems to have untilted me a bit.

Contrary to common belief ...it actually upsets me to rant ..

I would not mind if i never posted another rant again ...

I may have to get lesson's off cybrarian on emotional control .... he could also throw in a free lesson on how to throw in a sly dig whilst doing a runner at the same time ...

In time .. i could become as subtle as him !! 8) and then become a moderator myself !!

and then ....hmm
