Re: Should I quit due to excessive bad beats???
I took a week off only to be bad beat-ed again to death last night and busted.
POKER - WHEN YOU HAVE THE PURE NUTS THAT 5% OF THE TIME, IT'S A SKILL GAME TRYING TO EXTRACT THE MOST MONEY YOU CAN FROM YOUR OPPONENTS
THE OTHER 95% OF THE TIME, THE GAME IS ALL LUCK, VULNERABLE TO A BAD BEAT AT ANY TIME, ALL LUCK
SO BASICALLY THE GAME IS 5% SKILL AND 95% LUCK, SO ALL THE GUYS OUT HERE WHO THINK THEY ARE SO SKILLED , LET'S SEE WHERE THEY ARE WHEN THEIR LUCK RUNS OUT
Sorry to sound bitter but that's what I am, thats what getting bad beat-ed out of $1500 in pots when you are a 80% fave or better in eech one. "keep playing, it will even out" is the common advice, well I did and it didnt even out. I mean, at the 50c/$1 I'd have to play bad beat free for like 2 months to overcome this recent string of beats, just not worth it to me. Maybe I just took a hard shot of bad luck and am an exception but my bottom line is this, maybe not 95% to 5%, BUT POKER IS DEFINITELY MORE THAN 50% LUCK AND LESS THAN THAT SKILL, PROBABLY LIKE 75%LUCK 25% SKILL. Some people have the luck, some dont and its obvious I dont. Good LUCK to you guys though
