    Yea, its interesting the small things that factor in to losses. Sometimes just straight up confidence in believing that you can make the right moves is a big deal....

    Ps thanks for changing the title.. it looked tacky!

    I also think it has to do with the evolution of poker. Online poker changes over and over and over, much quicker than live poker. So what works one day, may not work the next day. I don't know if the fish/donks are getting better or if the break even players (roughly me til Jan) are getting better. It's the best players in the world that adapt quicker to that change and stay one step ahead.

    As for the feeling like you're losing every hand, I chalk it up to variance. When you get it in 80% fav, you have to lose that 20% to make it poker. Yeah, it may feel like you are losing more than you should, but it will all even out eventually and you'll go on a run where AA NEVER loses. Hopefully for the losing players right now, it turns around quicker rather than later.
