Honestly, from what I have seen and I play a lot live, the same people that lose at the casinos, lose online and vice versa. Fools are fools no matter where you go, and I have seen absolutely crazy hands live, its the same 52 cards and same exact structure, crazy things happen. Maybe you should look as to why your losing with AA vs. 68o. I'll take that matchup online anyday.
^^ what he said. seriously I really didn't expect so much whining about "rigged online poker" here, but on the other hand I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Here's what I believe. Yes there might be an occasional (as in *very* rare) incident like this whole Absolute Poker scandal. However, and this has been repeated ad nauseum, the advantage to online vs live is the ease of which hands can be tracked. With so much data available any site that really is truly rigged would have been outed, boycotted and run out of business by now. These sites make enough money and they don't have to have people win/lose... for every winner there is a loser. The sites couldn't care less who wins/loses. The player base is so large and so full of idiots who create enough action on their own, why would the site need to do that?
What it boils down to in 99.99999% of cases is someone takes a laughably inadequate sample size of their own hands, says "no way should i have lost this many times with these cards, poker is rigged I say!". Granted I have far more online experience, but what live experience I do have isn't much different than online. People who don't know what they are doing online if anything are worse live. They certainly are no better.
On the other hand, when I was in college, so few people really understood statistics...and that *includes* over half of the stats majors (long story, don't get me started). I would expect the general population to be far worse than people in school studying the topic. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Back OT, to the OP I say take your time off. Sometimes that's a necessary part of the game, clearing your head. Don't play when you are emotional. But you'll be back
