Hi guys and girls,
I'm calling out for your reactions to see if my situation is normal or not.
I have been playing online poker for quite some time now.
I'm aspiring to become a professional poker player and have been studying and playing very much in recent months (playing up to 12 hours a day, I have nothing else to do due to Covid 19).
I honestly believe I have come to a point where I should be making more money than I lose, and this shows in the fact that I manage to end up ITM and final table quite frequently, playing only micro stakes Sit&Go's of 360-990 people, satellites and freerolls (my bankroll being extremely limited due to loss of job with Covid 19).
Despite these (hard fought) successes, I'm getting a little desperate because of the abnormal amount (in my opinion) of bad luck and bad beats I keep on having.
More than 80% of the time, I ONLY get bad luck and bad beats (trust me, I've analyzed it).
About 15% of the time, things seem to go "normal", but not especially good (you win a few hands, lose a few hands, but overall barely successful).
Less than 5% of the time I can say that things run "reasonably well" for me, but rarely anything exceptional.
It seems like, whenever I am "released from the bad streak", it is NEVER for more than 2 or 3 hours, after which things turn back to the usual bad luck and bad beats.
I really need to know if this is the same for all serious poker players, or do you have extended periods of time (more than just a few hours) where things run rather positively for you.
Thanks for your responses!
