Don't run like me: Posting Exactly one hand...

[Talking Poker]

I have been running really, really, REALLY badly for something like a month and a half now. I keep thinking it will turn around, because I believe in math, and it just has to... but hand after hand, game after game, day after day... whether I'm playing cash, tourneys, HU, whatever... it's just one thing after another.

I'm trying really hard to be honest with myself, and while I think it would be impossible for me to be playing my A game right now, I really don't think I'm playing any worse than B+ or so.

I mean, seriously?

I don't know - he has a lot of combinations of runners there... it almost HAS to be a favorite over whatever you're holding

I especially like that you hold the J which limits his outs even when the perfect card rank comes (6) and kills the backdoor on the flop FD as well

"behind door #3 is $10,000 in Sklanksy bucks!"

and I couldn't help but remember this , which I am trying my damnedest to remember when I am running good as well.
