Sounds like you're running bad at the moment.....but I can't understand your out of position float with 22 on a Q55 board. With 2 villains, and nowhere for your hand to go (so unlikely to improve), I'd just bin it. This isn't a time/situation to float IMO.
It doesn't get any better. AA cracked by 89 off. 3x utg raise, called by villiain on my left. I'm sat there when the turn is a 10 after ive bet the 67x flop I check and villain shoves. So not only do I think surely he cant have 89, then I think would he shove the stone cold nuts..... He would. 1K left shoves pre with AQ get called by QJsuited, Jack on the flop. Standard. Exit hand is my AJ vs 10 10. Once again I don't win a race.
I'm playing 1 or 2 more tourneys today and then that's it, i'll be here for the DTD's and maybe the odd main event. I'll keep a look out for sky live events. But I simply don't believe how often terrible plays get rewarded.

Variance sucks mate, we've all been there. The downward swings always feel much worse than the upwards trajectories. Take a little time off and enjoy your other interests, you'll soon feel like getting stuck back into it again and winning the moniez back!!
Thanks guys, but I'm off (sort of) wont be playing nearly as much on sky.
Will be playing more live and doing other things. I am stuck because I don't enjoy playing high volume (to even out the variance) so I wont be doing that. Sky have no speed poker (which is quite profitable for me). So from now on it will be the DTD's on Mondays and a couple of games here and there. I am also in receipt of loads of free money and offers from others sites that I haven't been playing as I have been on sky. So every cloud has a silver lining.
Also I am not just taking the easy road and saying its just a bad downswing, I'm sure there are ways to improve my game and spots where my play has been at fault. So I will be reading rather than playing too.
Since I started my diary I am around £180 to the good (it was near £400 at one point) so i'll take that. Just to add insult to injury I got home from the gym, registered for the DTD's and played the £500 bounty hunter. I will post 2 hands and see what you think.
So my money is withdrawn and the DTD's are regged. See some of you tonight. If I get a good result tonight I may be in contention for a monthly prize
Before I get flamed, he had FISH at the end of his name so I have just deleted the first part lol.
So this is the problem playing stations. Why on earth did he call the post flop raise?? I put him on an open ended straight after he did, so when the 5 came on the turn I didn't think it improved his hand much as I thought he had one. I wa hoping to commit him with the 900 bet I know I should have just put him all in, and the river call was pure frustration. But for 395 into a 4k pot plus a £10 bounty can you ever find a fold there?

Hope you run better soon.
