hey guys
i thought id let you all know i am quiting poker. i have had the worst 4 days in my life and i can't win a single hand. i am not here for any sympathy i am just letting you know i am quiting. no point playing the game if i lose every single hand ahead, i understand there is a % they get lucky but they get lucky on every hand. its too unreal. anyway peace

4 days is not a downswing though. 4 days is variance.

ive gone from 550 to 400 in 2 weeks playing nl10 and mtts around $1-4. imo ur just tilting. Have a break. Get away from poker, then come back fresh and try again. Gl wateva u do.
I said to myself I was quitting many times, and actually "quit" one time. Fortunately I came back.
dont give up! that means u get eaten by FISH! you are a shark! Keep on playing and u will eat the fish that took your money before!
stick to your strategy, dont think about the money - so u dont tilt and hold your cool. You will win!
maybe take a few days off and read a few articles and watch a few session review videos?
never give up!

That's stupid thinking... ♠_mad:
They are not more lucky, they just get in bad more often and naturally suck out more often too.
Anyway, if you decided to quit, it's you choice, goodluck.

A ♠_grin: wouldnt give up so maybe you are noy one
Everyones had a downswing, when you play thousands of hands, like you do in poker, the very small %'s that a fish will suck out x amount of times in a row does happen. I had a $600 roll and went to $300 in about 2 days. Running $200 under EV and then when not getting sucked out on running into A's, it happens.
Take a breather, relax, get back in there and play your A game. I'd recommend looking at the strategy articles on tilt! If you really cant handle it then maybe poker isn't the game for you!
Good luck and hope you get back out on the tables!

Got to agree here, I got screwed over pretty steady for alll my profits over
200 SNGS that I had made during like 800 SNGS of the same buy in, str8
downswing getting it in ahead every time or losing every flip, the standard stuff,
I had kings I knew I was going to see aces as I was shoving but...
Taking a break fixed it for me, and trying something new to keep it fresh.

I agree, it's probably tilt... I went from 4.5K to 2.9K in a week playing NL100... it wasn't a downswing though, I was tilting... 
@OP: I found that most of my really big downswings were tilting issues, as soon as you understand that and start to see the big picture, the game will become a lot more profitable and fun to play.
But if you want to quit, that's your choice.
downswings feed on tilt and your bankroll. don't quit just relax and play when you are ready.
if you decide to quit do it because you don't like the game, or don't have time, but not because a fish got lucky 
you actually are looking for sympathy, do what these guy say. it has to work.
there is no heaven without hell
