Bad luck streak

[Paulozg]

Is it just me, or does it seem that your winnings and losings come in a streak ?

I mean, a month or two ago, i was running real good, having good cards and hitting amazing flops, winning almost all races and hitting lost of draws.
But lately, last few weeks, i have been losing every race, being outdrawn so many times, even losing when i have the other guy dominated. My point is it seems that when you lose, you seem to lose for a few weeks.
Not saying the site is rigged or any of that nonsense, because the other day i played with friends and i didnt catch a card the whole night.

Anyways, i dont think that im playing bad, its just really bad luck latetly.

I wonder if it happens to any of you guys the same?

I don't know , sometimes I wonder if these sites are rigged. had 60k on PK Stars and the person with 200k won. PPK to PPQ ppkings won. Like he didn't have enough tokies already.

No they are not rigged ( except Party Poker ) it's just that you can't always win, for example it can take years for a good poker pro to make a final table in a 10k tournament so gotta be patient.

I don't think any poker rooms are rigged except maybe some smalls and casinos... I stay away from those. I just think when you go on a bad string of luck that it seems it is rigged. Maybe the cards aren't going your way or you got a real bad beat. Then you cuss and stomp, but maybe that same thing happened to that guy a week back. Its not the sites its the cards. THATS POKER and not all of us can handle it (but some of us think we can ).

Things can definitely come in streaks ecspesially luck. Just ask "the Mouth". He is supposedly the most unlucky pro playa on the circuit. If you read interviews of pro playas they all talk about momentum and streaks, good and bad. Hang in there!

I don't think it's the 'sites' at all,.. I believe it is the 'players' on those sites who are calling down hands with terrible odds and sucking out brutally. Good players will get sucked out on,.. often. Mediochre and weak players,.. not as often,.. they're the one's who are doing the sucking out.
Badluck can come in long runs at times. Not placing in large buy-in Mtts is not considered to be bad luck, it's just the nature of the game, especially if you're vying to place up in the cash, instead of just trying to double your buy-in or whatever.
Someone told me once, luck is like an elastic,.. it can stretch one way for so long and then it will enevitably snap back. Unless of course it's just a leak in your game that you're failing to recognize, ie. playing flop passively and wondering why others draw out on you with runner runner flushes and straights, etc.
