So I probably had the worst two month run ever in life. Honestly, i get all in with at least a 75-25 advantage and most times like 85-15 yet i still lose. Poker is just really frusterating me right now. Ive had to drop down in limits due to the execssize losses and drop in bankroll. I know everyone has seen and experienced bad beats but I need to vent and am gonna post some of the classics to put myself at ease.
