wow 10 in a row in a day done a good job getting into the green for the day. they are a complete grind these things and to be honest the only reason im playing is for the reasons i put in my first post not to say i dont enjoy them but i just prefer a good old fashioned 10 seat sng wer the top 3 get paid not very popular on here though. on a different note what are you using to record all of your results that way?

That graph is just taken from sharkscope. I filtered it for my days results.
ok yet another lost hand 10 10 against k 5 and the flop j 55 this is turning into a real joke how can i go in ahead so many times and loose so often?!?!? GRRRRR

I cant offer any advice but can offer the next best thing. Knowledge of the fact that its not only you, it happens to most.
After suffering the same form myself on here I came to the conclusion that its obviously not me as I recently won a £530 seat into the last UKOPS after a 1st in a satellite. Im obviously a class player so after hard thought I realised it must be the 6 handed tables and luckboxes on SKY.
I then went over to Pokerstars playing the 50/50 SnGs on there. I won the smallest buy in easily and thought im obviously too good for these so moved up to the $30 ones. I played two side by side, one NLH one PLO. I won both of these. I carried on winning til my initial $5 bankroll was over $200, I was obviously gonna be a millionaire in no time as id found my game.
Two weeks on I bust my bankroll on there blaming everyone and everything.
Im now back where the heart is (SKY) and still having the ups and downs but now accepting that im currently no more than a recreational player and I wont play with anymore than I can afford to lose.
Once I build a bankroll through my play I will experiment around and see how I go.
Like you I just cant get into cash and its probably because of that that I tilt easily and bust out. Ive seen a few threads of people trying to 'get there' with SnGs. Ive decided that I will start with I SnG daily. If I win I will use the profit for low stakes MTTs. If I lose then ill leave it until the following day (unless soaps are on all night).
Either way I hope you find some luck and above all some enjoyment in the game.
Forget that. Ive just won 3 on the bounce again ill be pro in no time. Posted by SLAVERFiSH
i know it happens to everyone but people beat these games and make good money i just dont understand how when i seem to loose so often when im so far ahead. if i could be bothered i would go back and look at all my exit hands, but even if it shows im abnormally unlucky what will it change. Another thing how do pocket 9s 10s Js Qs Ks always end up against the next pair up? i cant even remember the number of times i have pushed from the D with one of these and the SB or BB has the next pair up.
i only played a couple tonight annoyed me after 2 games i just shut down and watched the footy start again tomoz fresh faced maybe everything will be better

The K5 has about 30% here so not that unlikely really.
My bit of advice is search Card Player calculator or similar in Google and put a few of your all in hands in and see if they really are that bad as most probably won't be.
Thanks Dude and Rancid. I know you are right about the variance thing i was just very frustrated yesterday i shut down after just 2 or 3 games. I KNOW variance doesn't work over 3 games haha just grrrrrr. im of work next week so im just gonna stay relaxed and try and grind it out for the week.
In Response to Re: DYM disaster : Not to sure what your BR is but I would stick to one level and really try and prove you can beat it before changing up to higher ones. Posted by Dudeskin8
i have been playing 5.50 ones but ive been dropping down to practice multi tabling.
had a dabble at some cash games the other day as well maybe somthing i could get into if i can find a lil spare time some very loose players at the NLH8 level people calling with second pairs etc
Just about got enough for £5.50 right now (24 BI's) but if I go below 20 BI's i drop back down to £3.30. Also cash is defo a good idea and plenty to be made at NL8. Posted by Dudeskin8
i have just enough for the 5.50 myself but i know im capable of putting a run together but it goes both ways i could loose all my br without cashing (scary times). Week of so try and cram in the hours over christmas and new year, plenty of drunken and hungover players on )
