Is it really possible to lose 6 buyins at 5nl when each and every time i lose my stack i have the best hand?
example:
me kk flop k84
turn 5
river 6
he has 23. we both went all in on flop btw each 4 about 5 bux each.
This sort of thing happens really often i have a winning session like yesterday but wat i win isnt profit its making up wat i lost in previous session to hands like above. is it possible to go busto playing 5 nl i think i may

It's a downswing, it happens. That's why bankroll management is most important. If you're playing 5nl you should have at least $100 in your bankroll to protect against downswings like that. There is nothing better you can do than get all your money in with the best hand. Over the long run when your luck turns around for the better, you will profit immensely by playing the same way.

Here's a very general, badly estimated example. Let's say you lose those 6 buy-ins ($30) over a month, all due to losing when you had the best hand. Keep playing the same way, and if you start getting incredible luck the next month, you will likely gain 20 buy-ins ($100) the second month. Over 2 months, your luck seems to have evened out somewhat, but you have gained 14 buy-ins ($70) because you kept getting your money in with the best of it.

6 buyin swings are unpossible.

i know its variance but only last week i lost to set over set 16 times in 3 and a half hours and endless runner runners. i had 207 in my BR and went down to 150 due to this swing, this continued till i hit 118 2 days ago. My good run the other nite took me back up to 146 but yesterday within 3 hours im now down to 108, this is due to the 2 hands ive mentioned in riverrats also i slost my stack to kk i had aq flop came kqq, also i had ak called by as 3d flop kh8s6s turn ks river another spade obv, i was all in on flop as well. i may play 2nl im just sick and tired of this rigged ass shit!
