This is just the latest in a non stop run of BS that Ive been getting all week. Everytime I get a hand someone beats with the damn river card. I get a nut flush on the turn only too be beaten by a FH when the board pairs on the river. Runner runner flushes beatinf my straights, the list goes on and on and on. In the past when Ive had a bad run it partly been because Ive made bad plays but this time its different. I get the hands, make the right plays, only to get sucked out on time and time again on the river. It really makes me sick when theses idiotic f'n fish keep getting paid off for there stupid calls while I play smart and get screwed. I've now lost 95% of my BR to crap like this and I reallly feel like saying to hell with it all. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

You're playing way too high if you've lost 95% of your bankroll in the past week. Granted that hand sucks, but you are at the wrong limit I'm guessing. I also don't see how you've lost it all to plays like this. Perhaps there are holes in your game that you need to address. Post some of the hands you've lost(or won for that matter), and we can look them over for possible mistakes. Stay persistent and be able to acknowledge that you may be at fault for some of your lost money.

At least 80% of the hands Ive lost, Ive been ahead going to the river, only for the river to screw me over.

And the reason I've lost so much is because im massively underolled. I had $100 on Party and the smallest limits there are .1/.25 so yes a bad run has all but wiped me out. I know everyone will scream cos Im playing underolled but I have no choice as I cant deposit anymore money.

OK, here is much suggestion for limited money on Party. Stick to the SNG's. I have never seen easier money in my time of playing online poker. My friend and I were consistent winners at the $20s(my favorite since the level of play is still awful, but there is good money to be made; there is an increase in ability once you move up to the $30s, money isn't as easy). So my advice would be to play the $5 SNG's until you get up to around $150. Then, you can branch out into the $10s and possibly mix in some ring play every once in a while. I think the SNG's can be consistent bringers of money, and I think that they are the safest way to build a roll on Party.

I agree with Announced Tilt, and say play SNG's until your properly rolled.

Flop: ($3.75) , , (3 players)
Hero bets $2, UTG calls $2, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: ($7.75) (2 players)
Hero bets $4, UTG calls $4.

River: ($15.75) (2 players)
UTG calls $22.04.

Final Pot: $37.79
Pre-flop - you have 4 limpers plus the BB so pot is now $1.35 and you only put in $.90 to complete and raise 3xBB. With 4 limpers and BB to go your pf raise should have been not less $1.40 and could have been as high as $2.80 if the table is very loose. First mistake!

Flop - good flop for you - not much there. But you only bet $2 into a 3.75 pot. Although almost half it gives 2.87:1 odds to call and that's usually enough for some draws. Overall, it wasn't a bad bet but you have to realize it wasn't a bet designed to win the pot right there on the flop. That would have been at elast a pot sized bet. AA are often (usually) hands that win small pots or lose big ones. Here was your chance to win a small pot with a pot size bet! 2nd mistake but not an overly serious one

Turn - same as flop - re-read. 3rd mistake but more serious than the 2nd

River - Oh Oh. Says UTG called so I'm assuming you finally made a large bet - too late - 4 th mistake.

Yeah I went all-in on the river, a bad move but probably just a culmination of me being annoyed at my bad run.

and Im not a Donkey.........I hope...
