Damn you whine and moan a lot Kabouter .... stop it or your next downswing is going to kill you.

Or at least get a decent samplesize first

November has been interesting.

Complete with diagrams and everthing!

How do you post a full sized graph?
And how do you make the micro sign?

Gelford · #63 11-30-2006, 06:13 PM

Yeah yeah ... no offence K, but take it from a long time degenerate gambler.

Right now you do not play much, it is for fun, you sample size is small etc etc .. and basically the money you win or lose means nothing, so you are rightly having fun. Which is fine.

But ... !

You see, you are making it a habit to be result oriented over small sample sizes ... and right now, when you do not play much, they seem as huge samplesizes and you feel it is ok to do so.

The thing is, if you ever start playing more ... and perhaps at higher stakes where money mean more (even if they shouldn't) ... you will be in the habit of being shortterm result oriented
And you know, you are going to hit downswings ... and if you have that habit, it will break you. Not to mention most likely also induce some major monkey tilting.

Variance in poker can be sick, and believe me, there is really no need to focus on shortterm results and making a habit of it.

You also should be going YES! i got my aces all in pf, ok they lost, but they where all in pf ... power to me, I'm making money here!!!

That perhaps I just should fold them pf talk is destructive beyond belief.

Finally this is uNL with all the noobs, who may or may not know better. Hearing you talk like this might give them the impression that such talk is normal and well ... harm them as well.

I know that this is the low content thread and we are allowed to vent etc etc, but with moderation. I believe it should be for posting hands that either are funny or win big or community stuff.

Also complaining that you are in a downswing looking for support is more than ok.

But nitpicking over small samples and bad beats ... nah, there is a BBV forum for that.

This is my view and not a 2+2 view. It is also my usual rant, I know. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

And no offense what so ever, I am just an old geezer repeating myself, but that is because I believe I have a valid point.

I've been talking about going to bed for ages now, better do. Night all .. and go stack some donks !! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeh tilt, had to muck that 55 earlier vs you and just didn't care anymore. Decided I was never folding. Good timing. Heh.

Good post Gelford, I can't post it in bbv though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] They don't like us micros :P.

But I was just being grumpy, I believe it isn't rigged and it was just bad luck. It is frustrating though because I was playing better than before, as in adapting to the tables, got the money in at the right time and still losing because some donk with a back door straight draw thinks it is a good time to call a allin on the flop :P But my rant is long enough now, let's hope I win the donkament on Sunday then everything is good [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. And I still got some time to play next month (not that much though, Africa here I come!)

@Anjorush, very nice graph keep up the good work!
