Default Re: Quit poker because of bad luck?

Bad luck... We all had that. Like having 4 flush since 26th February or losing 3 out of 4 flop nut flush on post-flop all-ins. Next time it will be better. Take a break, that's all.

For other stories along these lines read "Table of sad stories (a cherished collection of actual bad-luck claims gathered in Gardena, 1973-78)" p.122 in Super System

excerpt " 'I was sitting next to this dude and who didn't believe how unlucky i say i am. So we kept track. He just couldn't believe it. We drew to ten flushes a piece. He ,made everyone and i didnt make any.' Odds against 67,141,150 to 1."


So yes quit poker. Then travel to Gardena, find this guy, buy him a shot and tell HIM your story.

I've never been one to tilt. I get up and walk away before I tilt off my stack.

Surely this is tilting? If you find yourself leaving a +ev situation because of a bad beat then you are on tilt.
Tilt has many faces

Avoiding a situation where frustration is getting the best of you is +EV.

I've played a lot of live poker and it's so ridiculous that I can remember the exact two times the deck has hit me in the face this year.

The deck hit you twice?? Lucky Fker!! I can remember both flushes I hit.
