the wrath of variance: the story of how i went broke

I never post bad beats, i hate to complain, (I do post some sob stories sometimes) in fact I didnt even know there was a Bad Beat section, but now I really think that I finally felt the true WRATH of variance. I've lost my whole BR (minus a few hundred I cashed for rent) in less than 3 weeks (yes bad management was part of my problem.) I dont request my bad beat hand history, but these are the ones from today that finally broke my BR for $200 moreplaying NL ring w/ 50, limp in with 88 ..2 or three people limp, flop comes K J 8 two hearts, UTG raises I push for 50, he thinks, thinks, thinks, calls w/ a flush draw, hits on the turn,, I buy back inI have 22 in the SB and I complete w/ about 4 people in the hand, ( I have $50 ) flop is 772 I check BB bets 1 CO raises 2 I push for 50, BB immediately calls and so does the CO the turn comes 4 river K and BB shows 74.by this point I got pissed and started cussing up a storm in the chat box, not to anyone in particular, just to those damned poker gods, what reeeally got me pissed though was that the BB (who just took dow 100 some pot) kept arguing he had the best hand, I said no, actually you had the worst hand, the other guy had 78.. HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND THAT HE GOT LUCKY,,he was serious about it too, kept saying "it doesnt matter if i had the worst hand on the flop cuz I got the best hand on the turn, so by the river I already had the best hand" and kept trying to explain that either way, since he was going to get the best hand by the turn, it didnt matter when we went all-in he always had the best hand...HUH?... AHHHHH!! it was pissing me off so I left.I dont buy back in and I take 50 of my last 100 to heads up table (where I shouldve been playing all along) I have 8c 10s the Button raises I call the flop comes 9s 7s 8s the button bets big anout 3 to a 2 dlr pot and I c/r all in, to make him stop (he was playing really aggro so I took a stand) he calls and the turn comes rag of spades and I bust to As sumthin of hearts. my last 60 and Im playing 25 nl I have 9d8d flop comes 10d 2d kd I end up pushing a guy calls w/ k 10 and rivers a 10, the sad part is, that for the last 2 bad beats I called the suckout before it hit, thats how much I've been getting beat lately,it seems like I already know whats gonna happen. This was really a low blow, no one to blame but me, now I gotta start over, and my dreams of buying a pc after a summer of playing 3/6 are over,,, o well, guess I wont make that mistake again. sorry about the bitchin, but this felt kinda good, and I dont think enough people would read this to severely damage my rep : P ccya ,.
