I dunno wth is going on,but either i am the unluckiest man alive or the level at microstakes is insane.

I play tag on cash games and every move i make i step into something.
Everyone flops sets, i go in with AA runner runner 77 for the guy who went it with A7, or K6,k5 or k7.
I go in with KK, A4 follows and gets his 3 outer on the river.
Runner runner flushes. I get a flush, next step 4th flush card to give the flush to the guy who decided to go in with K10o.
I have AK/AQ, idiot chases with A2/a4/a5 and gets his A+kicker paired.
Go in with AK, flop AKQ, guy who went in with 107 gets his jack to hit his straight.
Even when i am a 95% favourite they get their 2 outer on the river.
Had AA losing with 99,55 and so forth.
I go in with AQ, i flop them, some guy who enters with J8, manages to get a straight(leaving aside the fact that he called with J8o)
I can't even get to put anyone on hands because when people come with K6 or K5 or A2,how could i ever imagine they could play a hand so bad.

I went from 5$ to 32$. I middled at 26, then last 2 days horror movie..Down to 7$....Best one was when i had the nut flush and the guy get his ONE outer on the river for a straight flush....
Best one yet is when i flop a set on a river in a hand which i was dominating. My set gives him his straight, if he got his set i would have gotten my straight, any other hand but my 2 outers would have given me the win...

I don't get it or dunno what to do...

Sounds like you are trying to trap too much and allowing these hands to go to the river via weak bet sizing - maybe

I tried it all..Pot sized bets, over potsize, they still get their outers...

I think everyone has sessions like that. Just try to remember
you were the favorite going in. Keep getting it in like that and
it will even out! Just think, if the bad players never won, there wouldn't be any :p

Hang in the MaDaMan, running into a stretch of bad beats is a part of poker. Also, remember that when playing at micro-stakes your opponents sometimes don't know they were supposed to fold. When this happens to me I try to take satisfaction in knowing that there is another fool out there who thinks it's successful when you draw to an inside straight, runner-runner, or the two outer set.

Sounds like you're ready to join me and the boys in this joint. Martini is a huge fish at 97/0/0 and Taber is the king of lagtards at 88/88/14.8.
( It's a movie reference, I'll be happy if one person gets it.)

Believe it or not you get somewhat used to it the more you play.
FWIW I've lost an Ace high flush to a str8 flush, 1outers, etc. but to be fair I've won a few of those too. I think 30,000 hands is a place to see how good your game is.

I built my bankroll from zero, when i moved to PS i had 5$. It turned to 32.
Now? 3.70 something. It was 3.42 when i wanted to give it all to Vynilspiros,but he told me to calm down relax and gave me the money back.

It's one thing to be unlucky, but i can't run myself into a cold deck...From 28ish to 3.70 in 2 days.....

What's worse is that i thought the levels would be better since it's PS. Sng level is worse then FullTilt. Cash games are insane.
I played a Chrome star freeroll thinking that hey, since it's Chromestar people will play for real.They did my ass, all in every other hand, if u try to steal a blind everyone goes all in. In a single hand there can be 3-4 people all in at once...

I finished 2000th out of 18k for 30 cents. Weeee, i didn't learn one thing. It was just a big coinflip tournament...

Another reason may be variance, it tends to give you giant swings the fewer hands you play then supposedly levels out over time. Keep playing and maybe look at the hands you lose and see if you could have done something different. All you can control is what you do, if you keep getting it in good over time you will win. Good luck.

i was sure this was some kind of online trend, but i got sucked out constantly at the casino last night. pocket threes, flop a set..someone moves in with AA, i call and villian catches an ace on the river.
Have A J...flop A J..villian calls a pre flop raise with 10 6, catches a 6 on flop..6 on river. I feel your pain brother.
