***** November LC Thread *****

Increase raise sizes pleaaase!

It seems everybody plays 110s on FTP these days.

I hate when people come back and say gg. I seldom feel inspired to type in chat but that always earns a **** you.

Happy B-day! Not to sound rude, but one of my largest losses ever happened on my birthday.

[ChicagoRy]

That's why I'm not playing today.

That and a lot of alcohol consumed last nght and bday dinner, etc.

[Kalledrengen]

Happy birthday!

I always have chat turned off. If someone starts trashing me after bad beating me or something like that, I greatly fear I will tilt very easily, so better just have chat off and focus only on the game ^^

[daveT]

I am also taking the day off (less than 400 hands probably), since I have to fix and update my computer, pull out some programs that I don't use, and see a friend from CHICAGO(!!!) that I have not seen for one year. Interesting that his birthday is in November, but his name is not Ryan.

ChicagoRy,

I couldn't decide on a birthday lolcat, so I'll let you decide.

True Indy, I have seen a lot of people come and go on this forum. What i find shocking is how far many of the posters advanced since I started. I was posting with TT, Private Joker, Death Donkey, Mike I., Baronzeus, and quite a few others in the Small Stakes Limit Hold'em two and a half years ago. Although I am winning, I am definitely the Black Sheep of that group.

But be as it may, I will probably be here a while too. All the others I will forget soon.

Speaking of missing posters, where is Leader? When I wrote Mike Haven about our friendly troll, he did not seem aware that Leader disappeared. The mystery continues.

Wow. If that was me, I'd spend at least an hour a day crying in a corner.

I play better than my stakes suggest. But yes, knowing I am the only player out of that group who does not sport a six-figure bank roll makes me sad.

I can compare myself to the people I know that were once playing 50/100 and now grind out 3/6, and I don't feel as bad. It is very very hard to play a game and work through the streaks when you know you can easily crush it. Alas, gambling is ever so pointless without the challenge. I amend those people's discipline.

But there is a huge difference between those posters and I. I started out playing live, and did so exclusively for a year and a half. I am also the least disciplined, mentally, money-, and gambling-wise. We all get there at our own pace, you know?

*Sigh*

Thanks Landon, I am now sad. I hope you are happy.
