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

I may be new here, but I'm pretty sure this forum wasn't made for people to rant or to listen to other people's rants. If you have that little emotional fortitude, then yes, you should give up poker.

My previous post was probably more constructive.
