Well done on the cases all and will keep it all crossed for you Sporny.
Having a real doubts about my play as I don't seem to be able to make the correct moves and what ever play I make goes wrong as I'm typing it just happened again for the amazing time to me in 4pm first hand I have 77 raise 3 x called flop set he min bets I re 3x he pushes call his 2 pr turns house on river. I know beats happen but running over 80% on my aa kk sets and 2 pair to the extent I am seriously thinking of moving sites or just except that as a player maybe I'm just not lucky enough even though people joke I'm a luck box.
Before I decide what to do if anybody sees my play and has some advice I really do want help. I don't want to leave a game I love but playing so bad I can't stand to see myself do. I am not blaming the site don't get me wrong love this site and the community but to run this bad must be my play.
Sorry for boring everyone to sleep prob by now lol

Hi mrb everyone who as ever played poker will know what your going through.We've all had the times where we do everything right and still lose,that's just the nature of the game.I have played well and lost and played badly in a tourney and won.I remember getting AA four times in a deepie and every time i flopped an A,but when i got to hu i wasn't chip leader then i got AA V AJ and then AA on a j high flop and she had a j.Sometimes the poker gods are smiling at us and other times you think the dealer doesn't know your there.All i'm basically saying is your a terrific player who finished top of mtt league,your cashes put us all in the shade and if i end up a quarter the player you are i'll be a happy man.Varience mrb just varience.As someone once said poker is a game of skill and luck,the skill part keeps the good players coming back and the luck keeps the bad players coming back.Gl at the tables mrb.
Thank you JJ very kind words and that saying on the end hit home who ever said it very wise, I know I prob just need to slap myself but so hard to gain confidence in your big hands when they lose if only this was a pure bluff game I would be sorted lol maybe the answer is to stop playing any big hands and join the bingo players out there at the mo lol
And wii on your cash better than what I have to report lol
Gl all in the tpt torny tonight and I def don't think I am running good enough to win a race against a 3 legged blind donkey so if I'm at your table tonight you can all smile as the chips will be coming your way easy lol
On the positive side made it through micro Vegas and that appeals to my tight side I have decided to win all the way through for £2.50 lol Vegas baby!!
Mr B......As jjj says if anyone had cashed as much as you we would be so so happy, but seriously there are some players out there who call with anything and some who have more money than sence so losing a few quid does'nt mean anything to them. I for one do not play big money games for that reason, and although I have read the article on here about "Online poker is it fixed?" HMM I can't help think it is a tad unreal when you flop full houses then get called and rivered by quad 7's!!! Enjoy your game mate and if you don't then maybe a break? I play on 888.com its different and at least i still get my fix of poker :-)

Hi MRB
As someone who regularly suffers from the slings and arrows I sympathise fully. However, from the hand you put up in the previous post all I can say is bad luck on that one, move onto the next! you did nothing wrong and although it may feel like everything is going bad at them minute (I KNOW, Probably moan about it more than anyone else in TPT (Except maybe sporn)) but they will start holding up again eventually. I believe you said the same to me the other week. just remember these are the situations we want to be in. Dominating.
MrBurns my 2 pence worth. 1 word VARIANCE. It happens to us all but it takes some getting used to and you do start to doubt your own abilities. Not too long ago I went a month where my biggest cash was £12 or so and I lost about a third of my modest bankroll. I was getting quite worried as I can't afford to top up with even a £100. (Incapacity benefit doesn't provide for poker) Do you know what happened to turn it round? 2nd in Survivor, 8th in the birthday Fr and 2 deepie wins in the space of a week. I know I'm not good enough to do that every week and by the same token I realised I'm not bad enough to never cash again. It happens to the best of us, even Scotty77 posted on a thread that he was on a £5K downswing. When you struggle you tend to forget about the golden times when your posting very decent cashes every day. If you want people to analyse your play I think you would be better posting hands in the clinic where you can get feedback from some of the better players on the site rather than us mere mortals. Another tip I know is after a game especially when you get Ko'd is to have a look at the HH to see where if anywhere you went wrong or if it was just bad luck.
One point I would like to pick up on is that I remember you saying to me that you changed the way you play and it was paying dividends? Perhaps the opposition have noticed this change and are now changing their game to counteract this? Just a thought.
As JJ says we have all been through the same at one time or another and all come through it eventually and I know with your ability it will turn around.
Please give a warm welcome to our newest member TPT j3ono He has been pointed out to us by MrBurns, so if he's only half as good as MrB, it will be a bonus lol Welcome to the Team j3ono

Nice cashes everyone , especially the Hi Lo King...wiiiiii...n1 JJ!! (please note that i was not playing today as i was saving all my good run for tonight's TPT tourney,lol (ok i was also out all day and can hardly move now after 5 hours of doing volunteer conservation work clearing a woodland of rubbish and overgrown stuff, so hope i dont fall asleep half way through the tourney which i am obviously taking down now that MRB is experiencing some of my 'car crashes'. Seriously MRB, after doing so well for so long it was inevitable that it couldn't contine forever and as FD said they have probably worked out how you do it,lol. Keep at it and the wins will return (just not in the TPT tourney tonight,lol) and we really don't want you to leave, so pleeeeeaaaaaasssssse DON'T GO!
