Got up early this morning to get some random things done and play before many of the regulars hit the site. Unfortunately, even with fewer table regs, my ridiculous streak continues. I haven't had a win in my last 45 games or so and only 3 in my last 75. When you think about it, that's absolutely ridiculous. Since the payout scale on Star sngs is so heavy for 1st place, it's really crushing me to not get many (or any) wins across these last sessions. I think I'm down about 2500 on the month so far (not including about 300 on step tourneys...I'm done with those things. They're cake to play, but I always seem to get a couple step 5s and then poof. Done.) and about 750 on the day. It's still before noon, so maybe things will turn around this afternoon.
It's easy when running bad to just assume variance and bad luck (and maybe Lee Jones) are punching you in the kidneys. Managed to run about 10 hands from last session and 2 bubble situations and really can't see any glaring mistakes. I don't know, but as far as I can tell I'm really not playing any differently than I was for the last couple months. That stupid helpless feeling isn't a real solid motivator to play more, which is exactly what I need to keep doing. I suppose I could try to look at the positive from the last few table hours, though - I've managed to let the random swearing and donk berating slowly subside into an awestruck, confused head motion. Maybe that'll stick and I won't feel like "chat hating" anymore.

have you considered varying your amount of boob dancing in proportion to the number of donks on your tables?
the celebratory "boob dance" has been retired for awhile. no reason to anger the poker powers more than they already are.
