Running Bad

[Nikita]

I just need to vent. If you've been following me as I play Monopoly you will know I've been running bad. I've had some sick beats lately so to make myself feel better I want to post some of them here in the beats and brag section. These are a few of the ones I lost when I was ahead. There's a few I've lost when I was behind but I was behind so they aren't beats. But, I'm so frustrated. I can't build a bankroll, if I can't win when I'm ahead and I can't suck-out when I'm behind.
