I've also ran bad before. I've had month long runs where I'm just card dead and can't seem to win any pots. But, I have never, never, lost half my bankroll in 2 days. I've read others ramblings about such things happening, but it has never happened to me personally. I have always been able to either A) limit my losses in such a short amount of time or B) quit before it happens. My limit of loss is two buy ins in a session, and I followed that rule as well.
I don't usually post a big run of bad beats. But I'm mainly doing this for my own benefit. Just going back thru the hand histories has shown me that it wasn't all the poker gods doing (if you smell what I'm cookin). I've been trying to clear my concurrent bonuses that are running, and mulitabling in the process.
So how the hell did it happen?? It was a combination of running bad and playing bad for me. Below are a some of the examples of what was happening. I'm not a big fan of reading crap loads of hand histories, but read below (if you're into that sort of thing) and multiply it times 20. Cause that's what it was. Mainly I'm just trying to give you a feel for it here, showing 1 or 2 examples of the BS I was in.
My first session I lost two buy ins ($40).
Here is one of my first hands, and also why it was so hard for me to leave later. My opponent wasn't exactly a stellar player. He was easy to read, he always raised when he had nothing. I was ready to take advantage of it.

Ya, so that was a beaut. But it takes more than a few suckouts for me to lose two buyins in a session. In fact, it takes a combination of things, PINCHE RIO's being one and the next being
Not hitting draws when you make calls in position on the donkeys

The next factor is partly frustration. When playing limit, I like to float the flop pry more than I should. But when frustration sits in, I can think I'm playing too many hands and fold when I know I should float.

OK, so this table isn't workin out for me, let's try another.
The next factor in losing is, getting big hands and not having them paid off... I had AA four times and KK 3 times during the entire morning. Not one saw the flop. But with the way I was running, that was pry a good thing

And of course, not laying down QQ, is the next step to destruction. But seriously, it is so difficult to lay this down, when almost 80% of the hands you see someone call down with bottom pair. And, I don't think I played this badly, or the other guy. But being outplayed is also a good way to lose money.

All morning long, over the period of about 2.5 hours when I have to quit cause I've maxed out my session loss. So later that evening I decided to give it another go. And it's the same shit, different players. I have this shithead at my table and he is so bad, I leave my other tables to concentrate on him.
But its the SAME CRAP!! I can't hit a draw, I can't hit a pair, I'm trying to get in pots with this dude and hes beating me every time.
