It happens EVERY time

[iceman5]

EVERY SINGLE TIME I go back to $5/$10 NL, this same shit happens over and over and over again. When I was playing during the $1000 NL staking deal, I ran into set over set 5 times in 3 days. I dont think Ive been set over setted more than twice in the last year since then while playing smaller stakes

I play $5/$10...have the worst luck anyone has ever seen, then go back to $1/$2 or $2/$4...play and win for a while...go back to $5/$10 and it starts all over again EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Today

All in KK vs 66....I lose

I raise T8s...I flop a flush and the A and K of the flush suit are on the board....I pound the flop AND turn..he calls with the J of the flush suit and hits.

3 way all in....$3000 pot. I have JT....final board is [Tc][7d][Jd][8s]. One guy had [8d] and other has nut flush.

It just doesnt stop every time I play $5/$10. It really makes me wonder if Im supossed to be doing this.

And just now I have AA in the BB...I raise 2 limpers to $60. I flop Axx...I pot it and somehow manage to get stacked....again

I never ever get stacked like this over and over at lower stakes. Are these guys that good? Am I THAT bad? Or is it luck?

How can I continue to flop flushes and lose....flop top set and lose?

And why does it happen at record pace EVERY time I play $5/$10?

Ice, we all know you are plenty good enough to win at 5/10. This is obviously bad luck. Perhaps there are adjustments that you need to make, but still...these hands you mention are just cold decks.

The AA hand was a nightmare situation when a flush hit the turn but it was 4 handed and I had just played a hand like a maniac so I didnt see any way to lay down top set.

I think I tend to open up my game way to much when I play $5/$10. I think I try to outplay people too much. Im going to work on that next time I play $5/$10, but I decided I have to win 5 buy ins at $2/$4 before hitting $5/$10 again. I have 1 buy in under my belt already.

And yes, this problem IS driving me insane. Im getting grey hairs.
