Longest run bad ever
 

I just played one player much worse than me at 3/6 and 5/10 HU for about 5 hours and have never continuously ran so bad for 5 straight hours against one person before in my life.

The whole one day you'll run worse than you ever thought possible is so true.

Brag: Lost 8k only, prob
Beat: should have won about 20k

Beat: I am down on poker on the year. Pretty pathetic, and have a 6k roll on FTP right now

Brag: If I keep playing I will win lots cuz I'm playin v good lately, I just don't put in close to the hours I used to. Which is just carelessness about poker on my part, but I know later in life I'll prob regret not playing more if I don't seriously pick it up again

It took me half of the year last year to get in the black last year. Running bad sucks.

I always think that poker is the equivalent of Heroine Hero on that guitar hero episode of South Park where I'm always chasing that magic dragon (money/winning) with very little satisfaction. Then I hit that crash when I'm not able to chase that dragon anymore because all the fucking needles needed for pleasure are now all of a sudden AIDs ridden plagues (variance).

Poker is a silly game. You seem to handle it much better than me though.

Hang in there JD. Don't let it shake your confidence. You've built a sick roll amazingly fast before and there's no reason why you won't do it again. Talent will win out over variance in the long run.
