The stalling in this thing is driving me absolutely crazy!

Way the last month or so has gone for me, I may be at NL25 by end of the month. will have to play 60k hands just to keep platinum status.

Hands like this almost make me throw my new laptop across the room. Villain is 90/20 and I had been praying to get involved in a hand with.

I couldn't frickin believe it. I cursed Stars for about an hour. Villan later ran their stack up to over $300 playing 90/20 style. Just tilted me even more. Then I witnessed the largest pot I have seen at NL100 personally involving same villain and another fish at the table with huge stack.

Mind boggling for me to play against people like this every night and be losing constantly. So frustrated right now. If it wasn't for being on pace to probably make Nova by end of the year, I would have to take a long break.

Mike Kelley · #**565** 10-07-2007, 10:28 PM

I'm rolled for NL50 again now. I hope I run better this time. 16bi downswing was a little rough.

Mike Kelley · #**566** 10-07-2007, 10:42 PM

This didn't get much love in BBV, I'm too easily impressed?

You left him like $4 at the close of the hand?

Mike Kelley · #**568** 10-07-2007, 10:51 PM

I didn't know he had the 9c or if he would call for all in. I think there is a psychological thing about getting stacked and a lot of times people will call for 90% of their remaining stack when they won't call for the whole thing.

Crazy Theory?

BeatPurdue · #**569** 10-07-2007, 11:08 PM

Huge double up to get me to 18th with 98 left.

You cashed pretty big in a tourney not to long ago didn't you?
