Fix the RnG/remove my handicap

[Royal]

I've had enough. It has become almost statistically impossible to get ❤️♥️❤️ED this hard. I'm either handicapped just enough to keep me afloat or your number generator favors recs/whales. I don't give a flying damn losing 65-75% coinflips, but in comparison I do give a damn if I lose 75% 5-95 - 35/65 (OTF, not necessarily allin hands), runner-runner 47o straights on paired board with me holding trips etc. Look into it or I must really consider changing sites. Before anyone says variance, I'm one of the biggest players on the stake, 500k+ hands, I think I have earned right to notice tendencies. The "handicap" was bearable before 2.0 client, thought I was just running under EV. I can remember countless number of situations where I got sucked out but only couple of times I did. Also I have noticed tendencies most my winnings come in quick succession in small timeframes, ie 5bi's in 1 hour. It has gotten to a point I'm thinking about CCing with AK, yeah.. you heard right.

 

I wrote that^ text hour ago. Gave it another session chance, but now I'm gonna just post. Lo-and-behold within 10 mins (no bull❤️♥️❤️).. Jh6hKs3s all in on the turn, opponent rivered quads JJJ<6666 and the second, yet again poker-client honeydicking me with flush OTF T9s vs QJs, turn was brick standard so reraise all-in. + Some other smaller bull❤️♥️❤️ hands which have become new standard for me.

You need to see a specialist about that handicap of yours. Some work on the mental game is required for sure. Best of luck :)

@TarotPoweris too great and humble a person to link to his own thread, so I'll do it for him instead: https://www.unibetcommunity.com/t5/General-Poker/Quality-of-Play-on-UB/td-p/104832
This thread has so much greatness on so few pages, and Tarot truly is a source of wisdom. Surround yourself with smart people, and you'll learn.

downswings happen... I am in one right now for a month-ish worst player at the table always wins my money becouse of rungood, and it affected my play in a huge way that I am probally playing like a breakeven player right now resulting in more losing sessions then before the runbad.

Also if you are a winning player wich means you get your money in good more often then a losing player isn't it normal that suckouts happen all the time? Maybe in the past you managed to hold allot of 70% favorites and now the 30% is catching up with you.

I, too, felt like you do at one time (although with a bit less derangement) and I decided to alter my game. Now if I am certain I have the best hand on the turn and I can only lose to a suck-out by someone calling a normal-sized bet with a gut-shot or bottom pair, for example, I push it allin. As a result, I have found that I cut down on the number of suck-outs (almost all but the totally insane fold their gutshots) and increased my win-rate because guys are calling with any pair. When I lose now I just say "Oh well, rivers feed the fish so that I have something to catch later."

 

Give it a try for a week and see if your mental state improves along with your results.

My advice is to switch it up. Sometimes you feel that you're not winning anything during a session. Best thing you can do then is to close the laptop and do something else. Maybe take a break from Poker for a few days. If you're on a downswing, this won't be much of a help to you, however it's true: You're not gonna beat them all. Swings are part of the game.
