Please....make it stop

OK, I don't know who I need to talk to, but this is bordering on the ridiculous.

I'm playing some darn good poker and making incredible reads and feel like I couldn't beat Stevie Wonder if I lied to him about the hand.

Went to the boat (Cassar's Indiana) this weekend to play some 5/10 limit. I was giddy when I saw how loose the table was. 6 or 7 callers per hand, people playing any suited card....it was a dream. Well, for a while. The first session I was two horrible beats from a fantastic session. One time, I flopped a K high flush and couldn't get a guy out of the hand. He boated up 2's full of 9's on the river with runner runner. (Yes, he played 2 9 off....with a pre flop raise and not in the blinds). That pot and a similar situation turned a +$150 session into a break even session.

We went and had dinner and then it happened....I walked into hell. I didn't know you could blind and limp away $200, but, guess what....you can. Played with absolute morons who were betting and raising right and left. One hand capped with 4 players PF....AND NOBODY HAD A PAIR. Unfortunately for me, somebody forgot to tell the dealer I wanted fo play and I went on an impressive run of bad cards folding 32 hands in a row at one point.

Swore off poker for a while and felt like playing so I play a little live MTT. Played my ass of folding AK in the BB to an all in (he showed KK) and managed to make it within 4 of the final table....but still came up dry. I can never seem to pick up chips early and it was more of the same tonight.

The frustrating thing about this is that I'm playing smart and not making many mistakes. When I try and move, I always run into a bigger hand. If I just sit there...that's all I end up doing...sitting there. This has been going on for two solid months. I know it has turn around at some point, but I don't know how much more patience I can muster. I'm probably going to take some time off from any real games for a while. Will dabble a little on UB and talk to the CP guys, but will keep it small. I head to Colorado in a little over a week for a convention and I've lined up a game out there. I'm also planning on hitting one of the casinos outside of Colorado Springs. Hopefully, I'll have some better luck travelling than I have here.

I don't know.

Come on math....even up.
