Just Got My *** Handed To Me At Party Poker(not A "bad Beat" Post)

[DeanK 0]

I'd gotten a little bonus there and had managed to build up a nice little pile of chips then proceeded to lose it all in a matter of about 150 hands, over 3 buy ins.I was thinking i might have been playing too loosely but after recounting the hands where I lost I'm not sure. They were all on top pair top kicker, two pair, trips type hands. Not quite the nuts, but very nice hands. It was relentless though, every time I picked up a big hand like that, someone come at me firing big raises repeatedly.Typical hand would be me on the button with TJ suited (not a huge hand, but ont he button playing shorthanded with 5 or 6 people I think its pretty playable). I raise, one caller. Flop comes 7 T J no flush possibilities. I bet, get a reraise back in my face.Now at this point maybe I should have been thinking I was up against a straight, but I'd been getting raised like this on a lot of hands. At this point, I'm thinking they can't be hitting the flop huge so often. I call him down, naturally lose a big part of my stack. The other key hands were almost replays of this, with two pair another time, trips, a straight, top pair, top kicker (tilting at that point).I could definately use some advice here. Is this just a horrible run, bad luck and impossible to avoid? Or should I have been able to lay down those hands? I found it very hard to do, after getting raised like that so often, and laying down top pair a couple of times. I just couldn't avoid the mindset that I was getting bullied - they couldn't have hit a huge hand again. Even after I'd lost a couple of big blinds, it seemed that they had to be trying to bully me after seeing me lose some big hands like that.

You're playing out of your bankroll, whether you suck or not.

You're def. playing out of your bankroll. That's the only reason you're noticing this.

what were you playing in party poker?

what were you playing in party poker?

No limit holdem, 25 dollar buy in. I got a 40 dollar bonus. After playing for a while I'd built it up to about 100 dollars and proceeded to lose all that in about an hour and a half playing six handed. It was like throwing a switch. I literally could not win, and every time I hit a good hand, like KK preflop, trip kings with a Q kicker, top two pair, I had someone pushing these big raises at me. And everytime I stood my ground I ran into a monster hand. It was like the opposite of Jamie Gold syndrome. If I'd had just top pair, I probably would have folded, but can you get away from hands like top two pair or trip kings when you are getting raised like that every time you're in a hand? I just couldn't do it. Ah well. Serves me right for playing at PP, even if it was only with free money(not play money, bonus money). I can't get ahead there without running into some maniac who ends up getting lucky, repeatedly. Not saying its rigged, but my frustration level is getting to the point where I feel like I'm on the edge of tilt as soon as I look at their crappy interface.

I think I get it, that's variance right? =P

I don't think you guys get it, he lost OVER THREE buy-ins at SIX MAX. You should email Party support as that is far outside the realm of regular variance. I would expect at least half my money back, this is ridiculous. They need to check their RNG's or something, or someone hacked the software, I've never heard of anyone losing more than ONE buyin at a time, I heard a rumor about someone losing TWO buyins at six max, but I think that was just an urban legend. THREE is outside the realm of probability, especially at SIX MAX. I hope you get your money back.oh ya and...........SWshut the fuck up about this bullshit, jesus.
