Wow....That sucks.
Yeah, when that crap happens, I move down a few steps to really inexpensive games until I get some kind of luck back. It helps a little bit. You tend to go less broke that way. I remember doing that once, then I start playing $10 home game tournaments and it got even worse. I was reading people perfectly, getting called on all ins with 4 or 5 to 1 odds at least and just getting burnt. It happens.
The last $100 tourney I played in, I slow play and then check raise pocket As (3 handed, other person folded, all about evenly stacked) until he has about 3/4 of his stack in the pot. Flop gives him a pair of 5s (he has J5) then he somehow catches a full house on the river. I wanted to kill somebody. I still placed in the money, but still...I played the hand perfectly and got roasted.
