What do you do when you know you can't win? No matter what you do. That is what today has been like and the previous three days. Every time I rebuild. It beats me right back down. I have over 80k hands now between FL and NL and I'm a loser by a couple hundred dollars.

I just don't get it. Anyone else in this world who runs like me would have quit long ago but I don't. Is this a mistake? Do I run bad or am I just bad?

EDIT: I just officially quit poker and cashed out the remainder of my roll which was $783. My roll was $1600 5 days ago. Here's a life time graph of my hands from HEM:

GL Everyone.

Thanks guys. Believe it or not I'm not tilting. I've been able to walk away with a cool mind from the tables over the last 4-5 days. I just started going through my graphs and kind of realized I've gone no where.

The game isn't fun to me anymore right now. I've decided to cash out all my money and take a few months off, maybe I'll come back. In the mean time I'll continue to get in shape physically. I'm currently going through the process of becoming a California Highway Patrol Officer..

if you do become one, don't give out tickets for going 75 on the freeway plz. got one a month ago and had to go to saturday school.

but yeah i know exactly how you feel but i tilt. i do well and then a couple of bad beats and i tilt hard and start playing turbo sngs and omaha to try and recoup my money. bad idea but alcohol is one helluva drug.

richi ive seen the hands u posted at 2+2. u are just running really really really bad. it happens. i had like a 20k breakeven stretch then an insane 500$ day heater. if u quit ure gonna waste ur upswing

checkout my may results in my blog - if i can make decent money just grinding microstakes u def can, ure a solid winning player from what ive seen who has just been bitch slapped by variance.

I'm not sure if I'll completely quit. I do know that I need a break though. Two weeks at least. After that I'll probably redeposit at .5/1 and regrind.
