3 suggestions. 1. Patience 2. Patience 3. Patience

That's what variance and swings is all about. It happens to all of us. You also can't play what you see 'might' have hit. Doesn't work that way or you just start spewing more chips.

It's not just online. I play live tourneys and it happens there too. Hang in there, it will swing back your way. Just be patient, you can't force it to happen. Resort to a few steals when you can to keep the chip count stable.

Agree

Agree with Nick,many times i have folded a hand like AJ suited preflop short stacked becuz there was so many people in the pot,needless to say under 2 hands later alot of those times I picked up a great hand like Q's-A's.Patience is one of the greatest skills to have when playing poker.

You have to be patient. This happens to everybody from time to time just the same as you get times when the cards just keep coming. Take a break for a couple of days.

agree with everyone go take a break, when crap hands keep happening you might not want to play anymore or you might become a tilt player. patience is a big part of poker. you will get cards again just a matter of when :)
