18 ho's sound good right about now. And sushi.

Also 18 ho's or perhaps just one with some good oral skills is not such a bad idea either

People wont fold their crap and that is suposed to be great, but instead they hit and kick my balls!
I cant handle that. In NL when I feel like that I can become the bully and push in for a few consecutive hands and hopefully dont get called. In limit, there is nothing i CAN DO...
My experience is...limit sucks!

I had built up my roll from $50 on Stars, then from $100 to $450 on UB, moved that back to Stars, and built it up in 3+ months to $2400.
I withdrew $1800 to pay for the bracelet (could've got myself a WSOP one for that price), then bulit that $600 or so up to $900--now, 3 weeks later, I'm down below $600. I don't know. It seems like it's constantly "reward the retard" day at Stars. I'd be down worse if it weren't for my "never lose more than one buy-in" philosophy.
I had a guy in a $10 SnG last night (big stack) call my 10 BB LP raise with the Hilton Sisters (QQ) from UTG with (and I swear on the Bible here)--42s. Of course, he flops A-3-5 and IGHN.
I won't even get into the limit beats I've taken.
Take a few days off--refocus. Read a book or two, but don't play at all. Take your week or so off, and clear your head. Then sit back down, with all the beats out of your mind and get back to kicking ass. Hope it works out for you!

In the last 3 weeks, I've lost 35% of my remaining roll (took out 2k to buy the missus a diamond tennis bracelet for the wedding) playing 2/4 and 3/6.
I need a break. Sounds like you do too.

Here is a rundown of a session I had on Pokerstars to show why I hate limit now. This will be a long post with many hands but this has happened to me the past 3 sessions. WTF?
PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed)
Preflop: Hero is SB with
![[Kc]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Kc.gif "The King of Clubs")
, ![[Js]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Js.gif "The Jack of Spades")
. 7 folds, Hero completes, BB raises, Hero calls.
Flop: (4 SB)
![[8c]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/8c.gif "The Eight of Clubs")
, ![[2s]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/2s.gif "The Two of Spades")
, ![[5h]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/5h.gif "The Five of Hearts")
(2 players)Hero checks, BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls.
Turn: (4 BB)
![[Jh]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Jh.gif "The Jack of Hearts")
(2 players)Hero bets, BB raises, Hero 3-bets, BB caps, Hero calls.
River: (12 BB)
![[Th]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Th.gif "The Ten of Hearts")
(2 players)Hero bets, BB calls.
Final Pot: 14 BB
Results in white below:
BB has Kh Kd (one pair, kings).
Hero has Kc Js (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: BB wins 14 BB.
A semi typical blind battle. I decide he likely didn't hit the flop so I checkraise him. Then I hit a great card for me (or so I thought) and ran with it. Sucks to be me.
PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed)
Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with
, ![[8d]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/8d.gif "The Eight of Diamonds")
. 1 fold, Hero calls, 7 folds, BB checks.
Flop: (2.50 SB)
, ![[Kd]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Kd.gif "The King of Diamonds")
, ![[8s]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/8s.gif "The Eight of Spades")
(2 players)BB checks, Hero bets, BB folds.
Final Pot: 1.75 BB
Results in white below:
No showdown. Hero wins 1.75 BB.
Table was passive so I thought I could limp with this and see a cheap flop. Of course, no action.
Meanwhile, I get small pocket pairs in EP 3 times and have to fold as They are on aggressive tables so I just get out of the way. I get sets with all of them and would have won huge pots. Once again, good cards and bad timing.

Hero has Td Th (two pair, tens and eights).
Outcome: SB wins 5 BB.
This hand looks bad but this guy was a complete muppet who oveplayed every hand and saw the showdown 50% of the time with ace high and such. I guess he wanted to checkraise me on the turn but I let him down.

I hit from the bb finally and this is what I get. I bet the turn and hope he's not interested but I just go screwed over.

Calling this down was a mistake I guess but I just like how the poker gods decided to mess with me by giving me a set to complete the 4 card flush.

This hand was just a kick inthe nuts as I was drawing to runner runner straight flush on the flop. Not only do I flop a flush, but the board pairs, a 4th of the suit hits AND someone flopped a higher flush.
PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (8 handed)

Final Pot: 15 BB
Results in white below:
Hero has Kd Jc (two pair, kings and jacks).
UTG+1 has Ah 6h (flush, ace high).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins 15 BB.
This was out of frustration I guess. No way could he have flopped the flush! Either way, I have 4 outs! Pokerstars is just fucking with me hard now.
Somehow I managed to finish only down $55 but I completed the bonus there so I lost about $70 chasing that bonus. Another kick to the nuts. My testicles can't keep taking this. I don't know how TW does it.
