By the look of every game ive lost i just feel sick, and its making me not putting in enough volume because i feel like i suck and can only lose.
Here are the hands ive lost/got crippled with in the last two days just for an example.

Most of my games where i lost it was against sportbetters or something that tried there luck in poker (no im not a bumhunter but its weird, most of my games i lose are against these people)
Is this standard for everyone? How do i deal with it? My whole month has been like this, it disaper and i win a few games, then boom its there again.
Just had a quick look at some of these hands (am very tired at the moment, after playing for 5+ hours straight), all these endgame spots look totally standard to me, you just had some bad look regarding flips.In all these hands like JJ vs AK or AT vs KJ etc., your opponent has a lot of equity against you, so you're expected to lose these a decent amount. Here, you have to think in ranges; it's completely standard to ship a hand as strong as AT for less than 15 BB - and if you run into some small PP and lose the flip, that's just variance.And there were also some coolers; that hand where you had AK and turned trips - well, I would have bet that turn since I don't want to give him a free card to his flush or straight - the result would have been the same.However, there are also some hands where I don't quite agree with your play:That 88 hand where you minraise and get shoved on - did you have any history with the guy before ? Is that on Full Tilt, where the match starts at 15/30 ... ? Can't tell much about that, since I don't play on FT.And that AQ hand, a check/minraise is often the "fish value line" and all you have is one pair - you basically turn your hand into a bluff by shoving over that, praying that me might call you with something like a combo draw (which has decent equity against your hand), or a weaker Queen. I would just flat and reevaluate turn. That way, you also keep weaker hands in the pot. The way you play it, he may even consider folding something like Q9.
Thanks for your great reply.
I cant remember exactly why i didnt bet the turn, because im 100% doing it against almost everyone else and this is not my standard line.
I think it was because he often folded to two barrels but stabbing large at the turns when checked to.
That 88 hand was right after a pot where he raised to 90 pf, bet 30 on a ATssJ board, and checked Ks turn and check folded blank river.
The raise to 90 pf made me think he had a some what strong hand that he had to lay down, and that it was a tilt push.
The blinds start at 10/20 and goes up after 7 min.
He had also made some very weird plays earlier and i think he was a losing player .
On that AQ hand, yep you are right will put that in my mind.
Is there anything to do against these kinds of things? it sucks being almost BE this month and tonight i considered starting playing turbos to get some volume in, my winrate will go down and more variance i know, but it feels like it couldnt get worse :)
Ah well now im whining lol, i guess i just have to rub it off and dont let it affect me?
