For the last maybe 10 games on poker stars it doesn't matter the strength of my holding....I get consistently outdrawn..
How can I combat this?

Hi.
There are days like that. In such periods, it is best to simply take a break. In this way, you will save your money and nerves.
Good luck.

Seriously, it is just a downswing and these will happen. I actually have been in one for more than A YEAR. I can not win a flip, I cannot hit a combo draw, I rarely flop a set, and when I do, someone draws and gets there with something he should have folded. This happens over and over and it gets very frustrating. I like to take breaks when I am frustrated, I also do not play as much and study more and then come bacl to the table with a better outlook. When it continues to happen, I just have to work through my hands (when I am in the proper mindset to do so)so that I can conform that I am playing optimally, if I am (because sometimes I am not) then I get back in there and keep playing my best. Always remember that there are statistical probabilities for a reason. You may get the short end of the stick forawhile but eventually it will all even out to those norms.

Are you getting it in good, if so keep making good decisions, if your losing streak seems to be ehanced by loose calls, tighten up. focus on your play not your results & this will pass & yes, I realize it's easy to say.

Simple answer is you can't!
You just need to take a break and come back another day, I would consider myself a reasonably good player and I get periods where I cannot cash in any game I try, I played 10+ tables one day and lost every one, I gave it up as a bad job, came back the next day played 8 games and won 6 and cashed in the other 2, There is no magic formulae that increases or decreases the chances of being out drawn, It's just the nature of the game.
You just have to suck it up, and try again, but if it is becoming a problem losing too much money, then drop down a level or two and keep an eye on your bankroll balance. Losing 10% of it really is sickening, but not the end of the World if you are left with 90% to fight back with. If you lose more than 10% over 10 games then I would say you are playing at the wrong level.

It happens, it's poker. Once I couldn't win anything for 6 months, it was really annoying and I didn't know what to do about it. I decided to take a long break and it helped, but when I was resting I read some books and watched some poker training videos, which I think also helped. Try to take a break from poker, maybe it will help you)

Not much different then advice others have given. All you can really do is keep making good decisions, tighten up a bit, get it in good and ride it out. If lasts too long I'd play less/maybe take a break. Keep studying though. Month or two come back and start playing again see how it goes.

First, I would advice to review your hand history to see if you are making the right decisions. If yes, then you need to have patience because this is poker variance and will eventually happen to all players.

Don't get yourself involved in bingo poker is the simple answer.
"I don't " doesn't cut it. As you obviously do.

That's very accusatory. What if he doesn't and just gets his pocket Kings outdrawn by donks?
