Ant,
       Go and play the Live event.

You will be playing online tonight in Leg 2..

You can"t beat playing live.

antthecat:
i like your decision, i admit im a better live player but just not had too much form but a good"un is round the corner, i am a optimistic person so i probably will play live, as im playing the league tonight ill play a bit of live so hope it goes well. if anyone wants to give advice then it will be appreciated.

played at the palace and wish i didnt bother, on the 4th hand i found  ad ac on the bb, utg player raises to 300, i reraise to 2000(4000 starting stack) and he calls, the flop was 6d 4s :2h:, i shove and he calls with  kd kh, lovely i thought, the turn was  jh but the river was the crushing  kc, i felt my stomach knot up and was thinking what a lucky (censored) he was, to make things worse someone told me that they folded a king so he only had a 2% chance to suck out. i have had enough as it seems that i am putting my chips in so far ahead and getting so unlucky it is depressing me. you need to be headstrong to take brutal bad beats and ive been hit so much it has knocked the wind out of my sails and i feel that enough is enough. everyone who is very close to me is saying why am i bothering and quit with a decent bankroll(a smidge under £300) and give it a go again when you feel like you can beat the game, i think they are right. i know a saying that when you fall off the horse, the best thing to do is get back on and i have done this so much but i just cant jump the fence so to speak. i always say to people be confident and it will come around but i have used up all my energy in the hope that i get some form and enough is enough. any boosts from everyone would be greatly appreciated.

It would be whole lot different if you were betting loose and making bad decisions. You are not - variance is a abolute bugger and will bite you now and again. You made a move he had to call (hoping you had any other over pair other than Aces), lady luck then took over.....

Keep playing through it -- the results will turn your way

antthecat:
thanks duke, you said exactly what i would have said if someone asked me for my opinion. i will still play this evening but will be playing pub poker and see if i can win a race as it costs me nothing to play. its so annoying though. ill keep tough and carry on.
