Of the last 9 online games I have played, I have been busted through a suckout.
Rockets, cowboys, bitches, slicks, sets...all fallen. The worst one was just now when AA fell to....
wait for it.....
it's painful....
brace yourself....
85 offsuit.
Yes. you read correctly. My preflop all in was called by 85 offsuit. No, I wasn't shortstacked. No, my worthy opponent wasn't shortstacked. No, it wasn't a cheap game (one-table $75 token sng for cash).
Am I missing something? Do I really play that badly? I'm reading, I'm digesting, I'm working through books on tournament and cash play.
I don't have Pokertracker or the add-on yet....do my numbers really add up to "call this woman down with anything"?
Sigh. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Welcome to being a good player. This is the other side of the coin for learning how to play well. It's also the hardest thing to accept. I'm still not there yet.
You lose with rockets all-in to 85o and ask if YOU'RE the bad player? Methinks your perspective is a bit skewed.
I do have a suggestion that might help, although I'm sure someone else has made the comment already.
IM me if I'm on tonight.
I've run into a bunch of bad beats lately myself. Hang in there, champ. *light punch in the jaw*
