    All i gotta say is that poker has been awful for me the last couple months... very frustrating when u keep getting all in as a monster fav 70% or more and they continuously keep drawing out on you.  yes i know u want those players at your table and that things even out but it hasnt in a while, just running soooo awful right now its sick. Im not used to losing like this.

    I have also been on a horror show run MoneyShot. Still up huge on poker lifetime but the last month has been an annihilation of my account, confidence and faith in the integrity of the website. You can only get sucked out on so many times in a row on crazy calls before getting troubled by it all.

    I just lost with aces to kq off suit all in preflop, with a set on flop to runner runner straight that he called bets down to chase, set to a gutshot chase paid off on river, and plenty more along that vein, but those were my last three hands played before I had to quit and find a place to vent!

    Been a brutal month for me.

    I made an account the other day and put in some money into FullTilt after not playing online in ages.   Had this bug to play for whatever reason.  Decided to put in a small amount and play for fun at the lower stakes tables.

    I think I am just not meant to play online poker and have some of the worst luck online.  I don't feel it's rigged, I just seem to lose any way possible that you can lose in a hand.  Played two days now doing single table sng's and ring games and have been rivered and 2 outed so many times I would start thinking people have whatever card they need now and would start betting like a box or check because of it instead of betting normally, which of course costs yourself money on the hands you end up winning.  Can't say it's been all that fun to very consistently get beat to hands you have beat pretty badly on the percentages.

    Money, even though you are consistently favored when your chips are all-in, Electric has helped me realize that all computer programmers are upstanding people and have flawless software.  The solution lies with your computer monitor:  when you sit out a few hands, show it some affection by gently rubbing its sides, and your results should drastically improve.
