Don't the poker gods know I'm trying to get a comfortable roll going for this limit?! Ugh.

Oh, they do!

They just don't care...

4-tabling ultra micro Omaha H/L takes all the tilt away...

highly recommended. Playing for pennies + WTF do I have this hand + 3 other tables waiting on your action = brain reset.

Sick graphs Acecr9

question how are the 5/10 games on ftp? softer than stars? how many tables are usually running?

[/ QUOTE ]

I haven't played stars 5/10 in 7 months, so I really don't know. when I see some of the fish I like to think they are soft, but then again I have had good size break even stretches there where I wasn't playing that bad(not my A game tho) and was struggling to win much.

lot of afternoons(est) there are no 5/10 FR games running, maybe 1 or 2.

I like to think of myself as a professional game starter, b/c I will always open up a new table- when that gets going, i start another new one. problem is no FR regs will play me HU [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'm down $75 today at nl50 on AA alone. so sad. Had aa on two tables at once and was -17 net. Then got all in vs. KK and of course he flops a king. I hate poker. Don't the poker gods know I'm trying to get a comfortable roll going for this limit?! Ugh.

Rant over.

ROFL. I had AA,KK lose money for 15,000 hands and I laid them both down correctly several times during that stretch...

wtf guys? I thought I was having a good month. I need to play more. I will play more. I will play more. I will play more. I have to ingrain it into my head. I very rarely play more than 1k hands a day and typically only play 3-4 days a week. 2k yesterday. Going to try to play 3k today.

Had a wierd night last night myself. First 30 minutes I get AA cracked by 104o, get KK cracked by 95s, every draw comes through in every hand I play against every fish. Down $200 in that time span, wiping out my winnings from the night before. So at this point I am starting to get frustrated.

Then I flop quads twice and double up both times, flop several sets and get paid off. End up +$250 on the night. Was a nice turn around.

Two nights in the green and cleared a $650 VIP bonus and I actually have a big enough roll to be sitting at the NL100 tables again. I hate NL50 with a passion, I hope to never go back again.
