-The worst thing was the last 2 opponents were so predictable & easy to read, i came back from almost dead twice in the last one & got over 2000 3 times but the 2 bad beats killed me. Dont know what i did to piss off the poker gods lately but man they have it in for me.

That last one is especially painfull. Some of the earlier ones can't really sympathize too much.

6 is bad...when i lose 3 in a row, I usually take a break and hit up some cash games, or ring tourneys, etc. Just my personal way of varying the action, when it seems I'm digging a hole.
