I know, the title seems weird but the past months I didn't have a very interesting life, I started playing poker 2 weeks ago after a very long break.
Lost like 20$ in the span of 2 weeks and played alot of MTT's, sit&go, spins etc... While playing in micro stakes and going deep in tournaments I had this rush of mixed emotions that after I lost all my bankroll I thought to myself "This was a nice ride!"

Does anyone else feel the same?

I wouldn't say that I enjoy losing at poker. Not at all- that seems kinda sadist or something :p . I haven't busted my bankroll for a long time now (although I am currently in the process of taking everything out and using up all my tourney tickets to attempt a huge challenge to get from $0 - $25000), but I remember that when I did bust, I felt annoyed, but I also had a feeling of 'you failed this time, let's see how you do this time. Who knows, maybe this could be your big time'. And eventually it was. The ride was fun, especially because it ended on a high and it should now be impossible for me to have lost at poker overall because I'm starting from zero again.

I definitely agree that tourney poker is all about the ride :)

if you r losing to bad beats I think thats normal. It means you r calling it right but having a bad luck. And you r telling yourself that you should keep doing it instead of giving cards away luckily.

I can't say I would be over chuffed to keep losing but if you consider $20 for a fortnights entertainment can't be all that bad

I can't say it makes me happy, a loosing streak, but it does not make me sad either.
